The old plan OF burying. or putting
cabbage in trenches during winter. OF
for winter use. has become obsolete.
and n more simple and easy plan has
been adopted. Where cabbage is grown
on a large scale for shipping purposes,
the best plan is TO lift the cabbage and
stack them two tiers deep and as close
~ as they can be placed in an orchard,
or wood IL convenient. and cover with
leaves 20 the depth OF two or three
inches, the leaves 10 be kept In place by
a slight covering of earth, says Amer
lean Gardening. In this way the
heads will keep perfectly sound all
winter, and they can be easily
taken UP as wanted for ship
ping. For family use cabbages can
be kept in the same way. only IL will
not be necessary TO make the second
layer. II is quite important TO keep
them a little below the freezing point.
II has been suggested TO keep them In
some convenient building. but this
plan has always resulted In failure, as
the dry atmosphere is fatal: cabbage
must be kept moist and cool. the slight.
est whiting renders II unfit for the
table.
