HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 



BRUSSELS SPROUTS BEST KINDS TO GROW 



nPHREE distinct types of Brussels Sprouts claim the 

 -- home gardener's attention, namely, the French, the 

 Danish, and the Long Island American-grown. The dif- 

 ference is found largely in the habit of growth of the plant 

 and in the degree of adaptability to certain sections. 



Half Dwarf Paris, as imported from France, is of special 

 value for warm sections. It will form tightly folded 

 sprouts where other strains fail. (See illustration.) 



Danish Prize is a tall-growing sort of special value for 

 heavy soils and cool, moist regions. It is very much 

 larger in circumference at base of plant than on the top. 



Long Island Improved is an acclimated strain of Ameri- 

 can growing, surpassing, in general usefulness, most others. 



One packet of seeds provides between 300 and 400 

 plants. The average plant yields two quarts of sprouts.
