BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Culture An ounce of seed will sow about 200 feet of drill. 
Sow seed either in frames or in open ground. Set plants in 
rows 3 feet apart and 18 inches in the row. Excessive stem 
growth will be avoided by avoiding too rich soil. Break leaves 
from stem to promote better growth of heads. Mature in about 
125 days.

is most important as some imported seed will never pro¬ 
duce hearts. This stock is especially grown for us and 
annually is used by some of the best producers of Brussels 
Sprouts. Pkt., 20c; oz., $1,00; Y lb., $3.25; lb., $12.00.

CHICORY 
Culture Sow in the spring, in rows 18 inches apart, a 
half an inch deep, and thin to 4 inches apart. About the 
end of October, lift the roots and cut off the leaves within 
an inch of the crown. Place them in trench or box 18 
inches deep, filling up with soil or nasd an inch above the 
crowns. On top of this fill with leaves or straw. A warm 
cellar is best for this. Water about once a week, and in 
four or five weeks creamy white sprouts will be ready to 
cut for salad. In summer the tops may be used for greens 
if the sprouts are not wanted in the fall. One ounce of 
seed for 200 feet of rows; 10 pounds to the acre. 
WITLOOF (French Endive) Used for the famous winter 
salad so popular in restaurants. It forms leaves like 
cos lettuce, which may be eaten either boiled or raw 
as a salad. Our stock is an improved type, superior to 
the old in that the leaves are wider, and the tips and 
stalks larger. Also the parsnip shaped roots are thicker 
at the shoulder, shorter and smoother. Pkt., 10c; oz.,
