THAT’S  the  kind  of  food  the  man  who 
ploughs  and  plants  demands— and 
that’s  the  kind  of  food  Grape-Nuts  is. 
Chock  full  of  the  energy  of  wheat  and 
malted  barley,  Grape-Nuts  is  man-food 
for  men  whose  job  is  365  days  in  the  year. 
Grape-Nuts  is  food  plus. 
When  you  chew  Grape-Nuts  you  get 
plenty  of  good  flavor— and  a  heap  more 
honest-to-goodness  nourishment  than  you 
can  get  from  cereals  which  have  been 
robbed  of  vital  elements  in  milling. 
In  Grape-Nuts  you  get  practically  the 
full  Vitamin-B  content  of  the  wheat. 
These  facts  mean  that  Grape-Nuts  con¬ 
tains  all  the  food  elements  of  wheat  and 
barley.  It  is  delicious,  easy  to  digest,  ex¬ 
ceptionally  nourishing,  economical.  In 
Grape-Nuts  you  get  your  money’s  worth.

Growing  Brussels  Sprouts 
I  am  an  amateur  at  gardening,  and 
would  like  to  know  how  to  make  Brussels 
sprouts  “brussel,”  as  this  is  my  first  at¬ 
tempt  at  them.  MRS.  L.  P. 
Towson,  Md. 
It  is  just  as  natural  for  Brussels 
sprouts  to  have  sprouts  on  as  it  is  for 
cabbage  to  head,  but  the  seed  must,  be 
sown  at  the  proper  time  to  insure  the 
best  results.  Plants  set  in  the  Spring 
in  this  section  do  not  give  very  good 
sprouts,  as  the  weather  is  too  warm 
when  the  sprouts  set,  but  seed  sown  May 
10  to  15  will  give  good  plants  July  1 
which  transplanted  into  good  rich  soil, 
will  give  good  sprouts  in  September  and 
October.  w.  p. 
Planting  Sweet  Peas  in  Fall 
I  have  a  piece  of  gravelly  loam,  well 
drained.  I  want  to  use  a  little  of  it  to 
raise  early  sweet  peas  for  market.  I 
think  if  I  could  get  the  peas  in  this  Fall 
I  would  be  able  to  have  flowers  earlier 
than  Spring-sown  peas.  If  I  can.  will 
you  tell  me  how  to  proceed  to  prepare  the 
ground,  the  kind  and  varieties  to  plant, 
and  the  Winter  protection  needed?  o.  B. 
Ontario  Co.,  N.  Y. 
This  inquiry  is  along  a  line  of  garden 
wrork  that  has  proved  both  interesting  and 
profitable  to  me.  In  former  years  I  never 
gave  these  matters  close  attention,  hut 
latterly  I  have  had  opportunity  to  look 
into  the  why  of  many  things  along  the 
line  of  nature  study.  I  have  acquired 
the  habit,  as  The  R.  N.-Y.  says,  of  “ask¬ 
ing  the  plant,”  or  whatever  it  may  be, 
and  the  answer  comes  true  every  time. 
I  have  noticed  that  there  is  a  time  and 
season  for  all  vegetable  and  plant  ger¬ 
mination  an<T  growth.  One  part  of  this 
farmhouse  faces  the  poultry  yard,  which 
is  inclosed  by  a  hen-proof  fence.  A  few 
years  ago  I  had  an  idea  that  morning- 
glories  would  not  thrive  there,  but  would 
change  a  rather  unsightly  outlook  *'o 
something  worth  seeing.  Ever  since,  dur¬ 
ing  the  proper  season,  there  is  a  bank  of 
green  and  blossoms  that  speaks  well  for 
what  nature  will  do  in  the  way  of  beau¬ 
tifying  the  home  grounds  when  given  a 
little  encouragement.  These  plants  pro¬ 
duce  so  much  seed  that  the  soil  has  be¬ 
come  overstocked.  But  I  cannot  induce 
a  single  seed  to  germinate  until  nature 
tells  it  that  the  time  is  ripe  for  action, 
which  here  is  about  June  1.  From  that 
time  I  have  to  fight  the  little  plants  with 
the  cultivator  once  a  week  to  keep  down 
all  but  the- row  Y  want  to  cover  the  fence. 
The  fact  that  the  seed  is  in  the  ground 
all  Winter  does  not  cause  any  earlier 
germination. 
Right  near  the  morning-glories  there  is 
a  round  bed  of  Portulaca.  These 
plants  also  scatter  their  seed  in  the  Sum¬ 
mer  and  Fall.  In  the  Spring  the  closest 
examination  fails  to  show  any  sign  of 
seed  or  life  until  the  proper  time  has 
come  for  them  to  show  up,  which  is  about 
the  same  as  with  the  morning-glories.  I 
sow  my  tomato  seed  in  the  open  every 
Spring  and  raise  strong  plants  that  ripen 
fruit  almost  as  early  as  the  greenhouse 
plants,  but  no  matter  how  early  I  sow 
the  seed,  the  plants  do  not  show  up  until 
the  stage  is  set  for  their  growth.  Seed 
may  lie  in  the  ground  all  Winter,  but  it 
will  not  grow  until  nature  pushes  the 
button. 
I  have  tried  it  with  peas  with  the  same 
results.  This  year  we  have  a  row  of 
sweet  peas  along  one  part  of  the  drive¬ 
way,  about  40  ft.  in  length,  which  has 
been  a  thing  of  beauty  for  a  long  time. 
These  were  planted  April  0  in  a  trench 
about  6  in.  deep ;  some  poultry  manure 
that  had  been  treated  with  sifted  hard 
coal  ashes  was  worked  into  the  soil  in 
this  little  trench,  and  plenty  of  seed 
sown.  As  usual,  I  waited  so  long  for 
the  plants  to  show  up  that  I  began  to 
think  they  would  have  to  be  planted  over ; 
they  are  slow  to  germinate,  but  when 
conditions  were  right  the  plants  kept 
showing  up,  and  the  result  is  a  good 
solid  row  running  up  over  the  wire. 
Planting  the  seed  in  the  Fall  would  not 
hasten  their  growth,  according  to  my  ex¬ 
perience.  Theories  are  interesting,  but 
are  of  little  value  until  they  are  proved 
practical.  When  I  hear  of  something  be¬ 
ing  done  along  these  lines  that  I  am  in¬ 
terested  in  I  try  them  out,  allowing  for 
different  heat  conditions,  and  note  results. 
I  do  not  think  C.  R.  will  gain  anything 
by  the  Fall  planting  of  sweet  poas.
