Oh! vegetable Brussel, where is your fruit, 

 We have looked for sprouts, down at the root, 

 They are under the leaves, down on the stem, 

 Why need you further look for them. 



BRUSSEL SPROUTS 



Native of Belgium. Known since 1213 

 A. D. 



The plant is grown from seed the same 

 as cabbage. Plant seed and thin out plants. 

 Transplanting the young plants sometimes 

 makes it go to seed and not grow sprouts. 



The sprouts appear on the stem of the plant 

 when about six months old, if they make their 

 appearance at all.
