The American Practical Cyclopaedia (1866) includes
specific instructions for storing
cabbages.
To Keep Cabbages in Winter: Cut the heads out with two
or three courses of outside leaves upon them, fold close
to
the head, pack them in barrels or boxes, set them in a
cellar,
if the cellar is dry, keep outside leaves on top of the
cabbage, to exclude enough air to prevent wilting. It is
better still to pack the cabbage heads as above with nice
damp moss…it will preserve the cabbage just sufficiently
damp and fresh all winter. Beets, carrots, celery, etc.,
may
also be kept finely this way.53
