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.

height with large solid ( sprouts. The Royal Horticultural 
Society's report reads C arters New Exhibition. — Plants 
2 feet high, sturdy, producing a mass of medium-sized hard 
sprouts from base to crown.” (See Photograph.)
