BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 
French— Chou de Bruxelles. 
The Cultivation of Brussels Sprouts.— Sow the seeds early in March for first crop, and 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.

colour, and productiveness are good all round. Besides being

many of our best known market growers. It is of medium 
height with large solid sprouts. The Royal Horticultural 
Society's report reads Carters New Exhibition.— Plants 
2 feet high, sturdy, producing a mass of medium-sized hard 
sprouts from base to crown." ( See Photograph.)

CABBAGE. 
French — C hou pomm£. 
The Cultivation of Cabbage. — By a little careful arrangement Cabbages can be had almost all the year round. An early variety sown in 
the spring will come into use in the summer ; a main crop variety sown in the spring will come in during summer or autumn. Sowings made 
during July of Carters Rosette Colewort will come into use during autumn, whilst sowings made towards the end of August will be fit for cutting 
in the spring. July sowings of a Cabbage intended for spring cutting often bolt, whereas the same variety sown at end of August stands well. 
Cabbages require a rich, deeply dug, and well-drained soil. When planted out they should stand 15 to 20 in. apart, according to habit and 
growth of the variety. Do not plant in freshly dug ground, as the hearts are more solid and compact when grown in firm soil.
