Brussels Sprouts 13 



BORAGE 



Borage is worthy of more extensive cultivation 

 than it receives. // will thrive in almost any soil, 

 but prefers a light, sandy loam. The seed should 

 be sown where the plants are to stand during 

 the month of May and thinned to a distance of a 

 foot apart. 



Only the very young and tender leaves of the 

 borage plant should be used. Old leaves are strong 

 and unpleasant to the taste. 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



The last of February or the first of March is 

 the time for sowing Brussels sprouts, and they 

 should not be transplanted until April, and only 

 then if the ground has been warmed from the sun, 

 or they will not bear transplanting well. For a 

 late supply, sow the seed in April. 



Brussels sprouts require a very rich, friable soil, 

 and cultivation should extend for several inches 

 in depth. The seed should be sown in drills to a 

 depth of from one half to one inch, and the 

 young plants should be thinned to a distance 

 of eight or ten inches.
