Brussels Sprouts.

A very fine strain, the result of 
many years’ careful selection. 
Its points for size, colour, and 
productiveness are good all round. 
Besides being largely grown in 
private gardens, it is a special 
favourite with many of our best 
known market growers, it is of 
medium height with large solid 
sprouts. 
Price Is. and 6d. per packet; 
Is. 9d. per ounce.

tion of Vegetables.

The Cultivation of Brussels Sprouts. — 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.
