Cultivation.— Few comestibles have a finer flavour than that of the better kinds of Brussels Sprouts ; and we have much pleasure 
in stating that we possess the finest stock in cultivation of this delicious vegetable. Daniels’ Colossal a truly magnificent variety, 
a most abundant cropper, of mild flavour, and the best for general use, should be grown by everyone who has a garden To ensure 
really good sprouts it is necessary to grow medium-sizod by contrast with the very large ones, which are invariably somew a 
strong-flavoured. They delight in a deep, rich, and somewhat light or moderately stony soil. Sow seeds during the early part of 
March, and by way of succession early in April also. The plants should be planted in drill rows, drawn two feet apart, and about twenty 
inches from plant to plant in the rows. Earth the plants up well when active growth has commenced. In the Autumn when the tower 
leaves turn yellow, and commence to ripen off, remove all such as show these symptoms, and hoe and rake neatly between the plants. 
Do not as is too frequently done, cut the crowns off the plants until February, as they serve as a necessary protection to the young 
sprouts* and, indeed, the plants generally. They delight in Summer waterings, manure water in particular. per oz d

OE QUALITY. 
“ When writing before, I might have mentioned I have never seen any 
Sprouts to equal your Colossal. I had some splendid specimens four 
feet high and covered from just above ground up to head. Tbcso were much 
admired, and several gardeners said they had never seen their equal. —
