CABBAGE.
Sow early sorts in hot-beds in February and March, or in open ground as soon as it can be worked. Later or winter crops, in May or June in shallow drills, six inches apart. Plants should stand thin in the seed bed that the stem may be short and strong. When the plants are four inches high, transplant into richly manured ground; the early kinds two feet apart, the fall and winter varieties three feet apart. Hoe at least once a week, drawing a little earth up to the plants each time. The ground must be deeply loosened and worked thoroughly and often until the heads begin to mature. Our prices are as low as FIRST CLASS seed can be sold for, and our stook must not be confounded with low-priced seed.
