Winter Greens

Where the early potatoes have been lifted, plant winter cabbage. Firm the bed well by treading down, and puddle the plan". After a few days look them over, for the fly may have attacked. A liberal dusting of derris where the plant comes out of the ground will help to prevent casualties, but there is noth'ng to be done but to destroy the young cabbage once it has been infected at the root.
