A deep, rich, loamy soil is most suitable for cabbages* New land is preferable, and should be deeply dug and heav- ily manured. A mixture of salt and ashes applied to the hill, when transplanting, is excellent for promoting growth and keeping down the maggot. For early use, sow in a hot- bed February or March, and transplant to a cold frame as soon as large enough. In April the plants may be set out in the rows, 18 inches apart, and 3 feet between each row. For late crop sow in nursery bed May or June, and trans- plant as soon as the plants are 5 or 6 inches high. The ground should be thoroughly cultivated every week until the I plants meet in the rows. There is no vegetable in which the character of the seed is of more importance than this, and great care has to be taken in selecting the seed from the most compact and best formed heads. American grown seed from the Eastern States is much superior to that which is imported, and commands a better price. Good seed; deep, rich soil; plenty of manure; thorough cultivation. These are the cardinal points in raising a good crop of cabbage. One ounce of seed will raise about plants. Early Jersey Wakefield -This is the standard early pointed-head cabbage.
