Often when cabbage-plan are re-

tell them that it is wholly their faul.
that every plant does not live.
Yet such is The lac:. Ii results
from two errors which are easily
avoided. One is that 10 drawing
the plants the roots are broken, and
tho other from keeping out of the
ground too long, until it becomes
more or lees dry. The gardener
instead Of having the land prepared
fully before he takes Up the plant
aud going through the whole process
of craving and planting in few
minutes, often draws the plants,
then lays off the ground, and then
drops every plant where it is to be
