 and extensively grown in this section for 

 marketing during the winter months, when

 market gardener. The plant attains a 

 height of 18 inches and produces an abund-

BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



1 oz. will sow 500 ft. of drill or 3.000 plants. 



Brussels Sprouts are grown for use during the fall and winter 

 months. An abundance of sprouts, resembling minaiture cab- 

 bages are produced over the entire stem from tip to the ground. 

 When the young sprouts are well formed the lower leaves should 

 be stripped off to aid the formation of the heads. Sow the seed 

 thinly in drills in April for early crop or in early June for a late 

 fall crop. After the plants are 6 inches high transplant to rows 

 which are 3 to 4 feet apart and 18 to 24 inchrs apart in the rows. 

 The plants are hardy and in this section will live out through the 

 winter without protection. The sprouts are improved in quality 

 and flavor by frost. 



Danish Pri^P Found to be the best variety both in 

 L'AlllaLl ril^c quality and productiveness The sprouts 

 develop very evenly over the entire stem, the lower sprouts being 

 as tightly folded and as solid as those higher up Consequently 

 a large crop can be gathered. Unsurpassed in quality. Pkt.,

SWISS CHARD 



or Spinach Beet 



This excellent vegetable is grown for its large, broad leavei 

 which make a delicious dish when prepared like spinach or aspar- 

 agus. The increasing demand proves conclusively that this variety 

 is finally receiving the attention its many valuable characteristics 

 deserve. It produces all tops and no edible root, the leaves stand- 

 2 to 2% feet high, growing well even in hot weather when spinach 

 fails altogether. It soon sprouts again after cutting and givei 

 several crops each year. 



Plant the seeds the same as ordinary beet seeds but thin out at 

 first to 6 inches apart, later to 1 foot apart. Ready for use in about 

 60 days.
