105 ALBERT SPROUTS —The Albert Sprout raised by Mr. Melville, Dalmeny Park, is 
one of the most successful efforts of this ingenious hibridizer, and will prove a most 
useful vegetable. It is a hybrid between the Drumhead savoy and Brussels sprout. 
The stems are long, studded with Hearting sprouts, and having a top resembling a 
small savoy. As a late hardy winter vegetable it will be found most invaluable, 
beiug fit for use when other sprouts are over, and vegetables scarce.

“ Coming in between the time when Brussels sprouts are over, and the coming in of young cabbages, makes 
it doubly valuable.— Scottish Gardener, June, 1864. 
“ The flavor after cooking was all that could be desired, being mild and mellow, without any kind of coarse¬ 
ness.”— Gardener's Chronicle, 23 rd April, 1864. 
104 DALMENY SPROUTS —A new Vegetable, raised by Mr. Melville, of Dalmeny Park, 
Edinburgh, and is the result of a cross between the common heading Cabbage 
and Brussels Sprouts. The growth is the same as that of Brussels Sprouts, 
being a tall stem, a foot high, thickly set with sprouts or small cabbages, and termi¬ 
nated by a cabbage of medium size. It differs from Brussels Sprouts in being alto¬ 
gether a cabbage : while the latter is a form of Savoy. It was awarded a First- 
Class Certificate bt the Royal Horticultural Society. The flavor is that 
of the Cabbage, and free from the Savoy Sprout taste. After the tops are cut off, a 
fine succession of Sprouts is obtained for a lengthened period. Sow the end of 
February or beginning of March. pkt. 1 s.
