A NEW CABBAGE-SPROUT 
(NOT YET NAMED.') 
2 I 
The New Vegetable, obtained by crossing Cambridge Champion 
Brussels Sprouts with Winninsstadt Cabbage. 
The above plants were transferred into pots for the convenience of carriage and exhibition before the 
Royal Horticultural Society. 
We are always keenly interested in vegetables or flowers that show any deviation from 
existing varieties, and in presenting this novel Cabbage-Sprout to the attention of our cu.stomers, 
we would tender the following explanation. 
It will be observed from the above photograph that this curious plant carries at its 
summit a close-headed Cabbage, the stem being covered with tight Sprouts, both of which 
cook well and are of excellent flavour. We inspected a crop of this plant last autumn and 
can assure our customers that the plants examined by us were as pictured ; we have not, 
however, had an opportunity of proving whether this curious growth will be maintained next 
season, but have a quantity of plants now under trial which will be duly reported upon as they 
mature. 
The grower from whom we purchased the entire stock, informs us that it is the result of a cross between 
VVinningstadt Cabbage and Cayubridgt Champion Brussels Sprout, and it appeared to us so constant in its type 
that we think there is little doubt as to its proving true again from seed carefully collected under the superintendence 
of our seed experts. Specimens were exhibited before the Vegetable Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society 
last winter and were mush commented upon. They deferred granting it a certificate until they had assured them- 
selves that it wouM reproduce itself from seed next year. We hold the entire stock of the seed sowed from the last 
harvest, and with a view of giving our customers an opportunity of trying this novelty, we offer small packets and 
invite criticism as to its behaviour in their gardens. 
We have not yet given a descriptive name to this vegetable ; perhaps after trial some grower will suggest 
something likely to be appropriate. 
Price IS. and 6d. ]ier packet.
