German—Kopf-Kohl. Frrnch—Choux Pommc. Swedish—Kal. Spanish—Repollo. We take special pleasure in recommending our strains of Cabbage to our patrons. Exercising, as we do, the utmost care in the growth and selection of our seed stocks, we know that the Cabbage seed which we offer is unsurpassed in quality. We do not offer two strains of one va- riety, as we deem the BEST none too good for those who kindly favor us with their orders. Cabbage will thrive on any good corn land, though the stronger the soil the better they will develop. New land is preferable. Plow deep and manure very liberally. The early sorts bear planting from eighteen inches to two feet apart in the rows, with the rows from two to two and a half feet apart, the large varieties to be from two to four feet apart in the rows, with rows from two and a half to four feet apart, the distance varying with the size. The crop should receive as many as two hoeings and three cultivations. Cabbage will not usually follow cabbage or turnips successfully in field cul- ture, unless three or four years have intervened between the crops. Cabbages should be hoed every \veek; and the ground stirred as they advance in growth drawingup a little earth to the plant each time" until they begin to head, when they should be thoroughly culti- vated and left to mature. Loosening the roots will sometimes re- tard the bursting of full grown heads. Of late years many crops of early cabbage have been destroyed by maggots at the roots. The best*remedy seems to be to remove the earth from around the stem and apply an emulsion of kerosene made as follows: Add one quart of kerosene oil to two quarts of boiling soft soap which has been thinned to the consistency
