BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 
Chou de Bruxelles. Bersa de Briiscls. JRofenfo^I. 
Culture. -Sow in May, in the same manner as Cauliflower, and transplant in July, 1 foot apart in tlie 
rows, which should be IK feet apart. In gardens, hoth largo and small, the Brussels Sprout is, without excep- 
tion, the very best winter vegetable that can be grown. Not 
I be 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, fi-ost 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 tcnderest 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.
