Oult^tlfC ''^^^ early varieties of Cabbage are cultivated more extensively than any other vegetable. In latitudes where the ther- ^^^^^HM mometer never indicates twenty degrees below the freezing point, seed may be sown in the open border in October and planted out on the first opening of spring ; but in our Northern States they must either be sown in hot beds in February, or, what is still better, wintered over in cold frames ; for this purpose the seed is sown from the loth to the 20th of September. Attention to date is important; if too soon the plants might run to seed, and if too late they would be too small. In four or five weeks from the time of sowing they will be fit to transplant into the cold frames. In planting it is very important with Cabbage or Cauliflower that the plant is set down to the first leaf, so that the stem is all under ground, for, if exposed, it will be split by the action of the frost, and will be injured in consequence. The plants are usually set out from the middle of March to the middle of April, in rows about two feet apart, and eighteen inches between the plants in rows. This earliest crop matures in June. For second early the early kinds should be sown first week in April and planted out in May. This crop should mature in July and August. The late varieties are usually sown in the early part of May, and the plants are set in July, at distances of three feet between the rows, and two feet between the plants. This crop matures September, October or November. J^g^J) THIS dare say that we bestow more care in the selection and growing of our Cabbage Seed than any other seed house, and intending customers
