BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



Chou de Bruxelles. 



Berza de Brusels. 



9ioienfoM. 



Culture.— Sow in May, in the same manner as Cauliflower, and transplant in July, one foot apart in the 



rows, which should be one and one-half feet apart. In gar- 

 dens, both large and small, Brussels Sprouts are, without 

 exception, the very best winter vegetable that can be grown. 

 Not the least valuable point connected with the Brussels 

 Sprouts is that it is as hardy as the common Curled Greens. 

 The common Cabbage is hardy enough in a young state, but 

 when full grown and hearted, frost soon destroys the largest 

 heads, which rot and fall to pieces. Not so the Brussels 

 Sprouts ; being small and hard, it is not in the least affected 

 by frost. The real Sprout is not much larger than a marble, 

 and as firm and hard almost as the stalk itself. These are 

 the sorts which cooks prefer. They strip off the outer cover- 

 ing, cook them whole, and serve them up artistically in that 

 fashion. When cooked through and no more, such Sprouts 

 melt in the mouth, like the tenderest Cauliflower, and are 

 equally as good. If more widely known, the Brussels Sprouts 

 would be as popular as they are valuable ; few people appre- 

 ciate them at their full worth.
