Brussels Sprouts 
Chou de BruxeUes. Rosenkohl. Serza de Brutek. 
One ounce will produce three thousand plants. Sow as directed for Broccoli, and set the plants two and a 
half feet apart each way. They require a long season of growth, but with suitable soil and liberal manuring 
an excellent crop of this most delicious vegetable can be secured. The splendid flavor of properly cooked 
brussels sprouts would commend them to epicures and others, if generally known. Though of the cabbage 
family, the flavor is far more delicate and pleasing than that of any cabbage.

Cauliflower 
Ohoufieur. Blumenkohl. Colifloi: 
One ounce will produce three thousand plants. The cultural directions given for cabbage will apply t« 
this crop, but the soil should be more heavily manured. Keep them well hoed, and bring the earth gradually 
up to the stems. Water freely in dry weather, and especially when they begin to head. Kever allow the plants 
to become crowded in the seed-bed ; transplant tliem with great care, as any check will injure, if not entirely 
prevent, the formation of the head.
