BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 
German, Kopf kohl Griiner.—French, Chou de Bruzelles. 
Thisis one of the best vegetables for winter use, producing 
from the axils of the leaves an abundance of sprouts resemb- 
lng small cab! of excellent mild flavor. It has never 
come into general use in this country, poe. owing to its 
being too tender to stand the winters of the Northern States; 
still by sowing in April or May and planting out in July, it 
tmaay be had in fine condition until December, and in the 
Southern States may be had in use from November to March.

CABBAGE. 
German, Kopf puede on ches Pomme.—Spanish, 
The early varieties of Cabbage are cultivated more exten- 
sively than any other vegetable. In latitudes where the 
thermometer never indicates 20 degrees below the freezing 
point, seed may be sown in the open border in October and 
planted out on the first opening of spring; but in our North- 
ern States they must either be sown in hot-bedsin February. 
or, what is still better, wintered over in cold frames; for this 
purpose the seed is sown from the 10th to the 20th of Sep- 
tember. Attention to date is important: if too soon the 
plants might run to seed, andif too late they would be too 
small. In four or five weeks from the time of sowing they 
will be fit to transplant into thecold frames. In planting it 
is very important with Cabhage or Cauliflower that the plant 
is set down to the first leaf. so that the stem is all under 
ground, for, if exposed, it will be split by the action of the 
frost, and will be injured in consequence. The plants are 
usually set out from the middle of March to the middle of 
April, in rows about two feet apart, and eighteen inches 
between the plantsin rows. The late varieties are usually 
sown in the early part of May. and the plants are set in July. 
at distances of three feet between the rows, and two feet 
between the plants. If to be grown for market purposes, for 
el asa details see our new book ‘Garden and Farm 
opics. 
If by mail in quantities of 14 lb. and upward, postage 
must be added at the rate of 16 cts. per lb.
