Some plants will fully develop bloom, others will make a tall, branching growth of leaves like collards or kale, while in other cases the buds will be merely forced upward, making apparently round or cone-shaped Cabbages. The field will have the appearance of being a mixed lot of plants, and consequently the seedsman gets the blame for the failure. The one necessary check in the growth of the Cabbage is given when the plant is moved from the seed bed to the field, after which the plants should be kept constantly growing, and the cultivation must be thorough and regular. There are, however, occasionally unavoidable checks in the growth, caused from freezes and droughts. Many times when the freeze is not severe enough to kill the plant or even wilt the leaves, yet it absolutely stops the growth for a time, and many planters have been deceived into think- ing his crop was not injured, only to find later on that it was practically ruined. A long continued drought in light sandy soil will have the same result. For fall and winter crops, sow seeds in beds any time between August and November ; for spring and summer crops, from November to March i. Sow the seed in well pulverized beds, moist, but not too rich, cover about Yx inch deep, and never allow the bed to become dry. Do not seed too thickly, ,^ - or force the growth of the young plants too rapidly, or the plant will grow too tall, ^—- " - slim and tender, and will not stand the transplanting well. Set the plants down to the first leaf, it matters not how long the root stem may be. Sup- ply the plants with plenty of manure and moisture, and keep them well c
