They Can Be Grown Indoors or Shipped In From Points in Warm Climates.
Early cabbage plants for setting in the garden can be procured in two ways, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture. They can either be locally grown indoors by some plant grower or they can be shipped in from a southern point where the climatic conditions are such that the plants can be grown in the open ground. Plants grown out-of-doors are often advertised as "frost-proof" plants. While this term is rather misleading, the plants are really very hardy and will withstand considerable cold. The great difficulty with cabbage grown in greenhouses, hotbeds or in the home is that they are soft and easily injured either by wind or cold when set in the garden. This difficulty, however, can be to a considerable degree overcome by properly hardening the plant to outside conditions before setting them in the garden.
