Col 6 Repollo, Sp. Sow the seed in well-prepared, rich ground, from the 10th to the 25th of September. When the plants are large enough to transplant, prick them out of the seed-bed into cold frames. In planting it is important to set the plants, down to the first leaf, so that the stem is all under ground. Protect the plants during severe weather with a covering of glass, give them plenty of air and light during mild weather. The plants are usually set out from the middle of March to the middle of April, in rows about 2 feet apart, and 18 inches in the row. They may also be raised by sow- ing the seed very early in the spring in hot-beds; after hardening off the plants, set out in deep and well-manured ground. They should be hoed every week. The autumn and winter varieties sow in April or early in May, in shal- low drills, 3 or 4 inches apart; transplant early in July, in rows 2i feet apart, and 2 feet in the row. Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh, rich soil, well manured, and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are subject to attacks of the cabbage-fly, which destroys them as fast as they appear above ground. Various remedies are recommended for the preservation of the plants, such as sprinkling them with wood-ashes, air-slacked lime, plaster, or tobacco, which should be performed early in the morning while the plants are wet with dew.
