Brussels Sprouts. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
French, Chou de Bruxelles. German, Slofenfofyl. 
Spanish, Berza de Brusels. 
Culture. —One ounce will produce 3,000 plants. Sow as directed for 
broccoli, and set the plants 2 ^ feet apart each way. They require a long 
season of growth, but with suitable soil and liberal manuring an excellent 
crop of this most delicious vegetable can be secured. The splendid flavor 
of properly cooked Brussels Sprouts would commend them to epicures and 
others, if generally known. Though of the cabbage family, the flavor is 
far more delicate and pleasing than that of any cabbage. 
Improved Dwarf. Very productive, tender and of rich flavor. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., %\b. 40 cts- 
CABBAGE 
French, Chou. German, Spanish, Berza de Repollo. 
Culture. —One ounce will produce 3,000 plants ; 5 ounces will produce sufficient plants for an acre. 
Commence to sow the seed early for succession. Transplant, as soon as large enough, to fresh, rich 
soil, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the rows. For late use, sow the Drumhead sorts in spring, 
and transplant to well-manured ground 3 feet apart each way. In planting Cabbage or cauliflower, care 
should be observed that the stem is set under the ground as far as the first leaf. The ground should be 
well worked to produce good heads, and hoed as many as three times during the season, drawing the 
earth slightly about the stems. Should the cabbage-worm or other insect pests annoy, “Hammond’s 
Slug-Shot’’ is safe, easily applied and 
effectual; do not delay in thus remov¬ 
ing any insect. An ounce of preven¬ 
tion is worth considerably more than 
a pound of cure in this case.
