prolific in pod. Very small foliage, short pointed leaves, more

ing to edible condition. One of the best and most productive

About 1 pound is required for 100 feet of row; 30 pounds to 
the acre. If plants show runners, do not think you have 
planted by mistake Pole Beans, as Bush Beans were bred 
from Pole Beans, and, therefore, sometimes show a tendency 
to run.

Brussels Sprouts resemble miniature cabbage, which form and grow 
closely around stalks of plant at axle of leaves, which should be broken 
down in the fall to give little heads more room. Seed should be sowed 
in a plant bed and transplanted in rows when ready, any time from April 
to August, 2 feet apart, with plants 18 to 24 inches apart in the row. 
Cultivated and treated in all respects like winter cabbage or kale. One 
ounce of seed will produce about 1,500 plants.
