RBIICCn C CDDnilTC Highly esteemed plant of the cab-

latitude. “Sprouts” are miniature cabbages, growing closely on the stalk 
of the plant, a small head about one inch in diameter being formed at 
the base of each leaf. It is very hardy and will generally live through 
the winter. This seed can be planted, as Broccoli and Cauliflower, in 
early spring, but does better when sown in July and transplanted when 
about six inches high. Cultivate the same as for cabbage. Packet, 5 
cents; ounce, 15 eents; 14 pound, 50 cents.

soil. Plant very early in spring, or better, in 
June and July for fall maturity. Sow seed in beds, the same as cabbage. 
Transplant when l-o inches high and give abundance of water in dry 
weather. Water and cultivate thoroughly and often. In early spring 
one ounce of seed will make 2,000 to 2,500 plants; in warm weather about 
twice that many seeds are required. Early varieties mature in about 110 
days; late varieties in 110 to 150 days.

1 ^ lent stewed or boiled, either alone 
or with meat, as well as for seasoning and flavoring 
soups. Sow in rich or well-fertilized soil, worked deeply 
(as most varieties are deep rooted). Sow one ounce of 
seed to 100 feet of row in shallow drills 16-18 inches 
apart. Make succession sowings about a month apart 
to have a continuous supply. When plants are well 
started, thin out to 4 inches apart in the row. Work
