BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
(Brassica oleracea Bullata gemmi/era.) Ckucifera:. 
I No part is perhaps so noted for good Brussels Sprouts as Swanley. 
Seed is sown directly after the first rain in August. These arc planted outiii 
I well-manured ground, just at the exact time when seed is generally sown in 
■ March. From these early sprouts high prices are realised, and after these 
i come the Spring sown, thus the season is prolonged from September up to 
I March 
CULTURE. — Sow the seed 
between the beginning of March 
and end of April — the earlier 
the better — in drills, on a well- 
prepared bed, and cover thinly 
wiihfinesoil. When the plants 
are 2 or 3 inches high, draw out 
the strongest and transplant 
into another bed, 6 inches apart. 
In May or June they are to 
remain 2 feet apart in the rows 
and feet between the plants 
in the rows. Ground should be 
])repared early, so as to allow 
the soil to become firm.;
