BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 
This plant rises two or three feet high, and produces from the sides of 
the stalks numerous little sprouts, resembling cabbages, one or two inches 
in diameter. The leaves which look like the Savoy, should be broken 
down in the fall, to give the little Cabbages room to grow. They are 
very tender and sweet after early frosts. Sow in seed-beds, in May, 
transplant and cultivate like Cabbage. Use the hoe often and keep 
clean.

generally at the North they are sown very early in the Sprinc in hot- 
beds, or later in the open ground. Eighteen inches by two feetapart is 
the common distance. 1 
The late Autumn and Winter varieties may be sown in a seed-bed, 
from the middle to the end of Spring, and transplanted when about 
six inches high, to twenty-eight inches apart, each way. Shade and 
water the late sowings in dry weather, to get them up. It is important 
that the plants should stand thmlym the seed bed, or they will run up 
weak and slender, and be likely to make long stumps. If they come up 
too thick pick them out into beds four or six inches apart, which will
