CABBAGE FOR TRUCKERS. Choux Pommk (Fr.) Kopfkokl, (Ger.) RKpo^o (Sp.) Cappuccio (Ital.) Cabbage Culture.—To make a complete success of Cabbage growing, the ground must be rich, thoroughly- drained and well prepared. A heavy moist and rich loam is the most suitable. To grow plants, Cabbage should be sown thinly on well prepared seed beds, and slightly covered, and ground kept moist. Cabbage should be worked deep and ofteu. The ground should be stirred every week, and, as they advance in growth, draw up a little earth to the plants each time. Cabbage can be grown nearly the whole year round in our Southern climate by using the Early hard heading varieties for early summer crops, and late Flat Dutch and such sorts to head in January and Februar}-. It is very important to have good seeds, and there is no vege- table given more attention as to breeding and as a result, to-day I am offering a few strains—tried and true —adapted to our climate, and unsurpassed in quality and number of heads in proportion to plants <et out. I am confident that every good quality can be found in as high a degree in some one of the following strains^ as any offered in this country. To prevent insects from attacking young plants, sprinkle fine air-slaked lime or tobacco juice over them. I especially recommend to growers who ship to the Northern markets, Charleston of Large Jersey Wakefield, small and solid, Solid South, similar to All Head Early, Succession, and All Seasons. The last three are medium-sized solid heading varieties. The old strains of Flat Dutch are being discarded by experienced growers because they do not stand shipping to distant joints. Crescent City Flat Dutch. This variety has been sold for the past few yea
