The cultivation of Brussels Sprouts 
is similar to other varieties of cab¬ 
bage. The sprouts shoot out from 
the axils of the leaves and resemble 
small cabbage. They are very mild 
and tender. Sow the seed as soon as 
the ground is open in the spring, and 
transplant like other cabbage.

The secret of getting tender, fine-grained, delicious 
Beets, is: 1st—Rich land and clean cultivation. 2d—Good 
seed of a good variety. 3d—Sowing at intervals to keep up 
a constant supply of roots in their best condition. 
It is hardly possible to make land too rich for beets. 
They are gross feeders and will stand all the manure you 
can give them, and 4 or 5 pounds of Nitrate of Soda, and 3 
pounds of Superphosphate to 
the square rod in addition. 
Beet seed is very hardy and 
it can be sown the moment the 
frost is out of the surface soil. 
Sow in rows 15 inches apart, 
and drop a seed to each inch of 
row- Early in the spring when 
the soil is moist the seed needs 
merely pressing into the soil, 
but when dry, cover an inch 
deep and press the soil firm 
over the seed. Thin out the 
plants till they stand three to 
five inches apart in the rows.
