HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS— BEST KINDS TO GROW 
npHREE distinct types of Brussels Sprouts claim the 
home gardener’s attention, namely, the French , the 
Danish , and the Long Island American-grown. The dif- 
ference is found largely in the habit of growth of the plant 
and in the degree of adaptability to certain sections. 
Half Dwarf Paris , as imported from France, is of special 
value for warm sections. It will form tightly folded 
sprouts where other strains fail. (See illustration.) 
Danish Prize is a tall-growing sort of special value for 
heavy soils and cool, moist regions. It is very much 
larger in circumference at base of plant than on the top. 
Long Island Improved is an acclimated strain of Ameri- 
can growing, surpassing, in general usefulness, most others. 
One packet of seeds provides between 300 and 400 
plants. The average plant yields two quarts of sprouts.
