The CulHvatio,t of Brussels 5/iz,«/r.-Sow the seed early in March for first crop, and again late in April 
for succession, transplant in summer into good ground made thoroughly firm, when the plants are large enough 
to handle, and keep stirred with the hoe through the dry weather. The Sprouts are fit for gathering after they 
have been under the influence of a hard frost, which makes them tender eating. Some growers make a sowing 
in August to get early sprouts.
