BRUSSELS SPROUTS 



Choi - ue Bruxelles. 



Berza de B niseis. 



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

 rows, which should be i % feet apart. In gardens, both large and small, the Brussels Sprout is, without excep- 

 tion, the very best winter vegetable that can be grown. Not 

 the least valuable point connected with the Brussels Sprout 

 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 

 Sprout ; 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 Sprout 

 would be as popular as it is valuable*; few people appreciate 

 it at its full worth.
