BERBERRY.... ... 
One of the best shrubs for hedges. Perfectly hardy. Never winter-kills and grows on any soil; makes a thick, close, impenetrable 
hedge that will turn cattle, and promises to become the hedge plant of North America. The berries make excellent preserves. As the seeds 
of the Berberry do best when planted as soon as taken from the fruit, and are apt to fail if kept awhile, I will receive orders for the seed 
and file them to be filled in the fall, as soon as the fruit is matured, when I will send the seed with a page of full directions for 
making a hedge, and will enclose a specimen of the fruit with each lot of seed ordered, together with directions for preserving it. 
BORAGE......... 
This is a profuse flowering plant, which is grown principally for bees, or as ornament in the flower garden. Sow in early spring in rich 
soil, and thin plants to one foot apart. It readily bears transplanting, and when thus treated produces more flowers in proportion to its 
foliage. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
A class of plants allied to the Cabbage family, producing great numbers of small heads or sprouts on the main stem of the plant 
which are used in the manner of Cabbages. Plant in rich soil in hills two feet apart each way, and thin to one plant to the hill.

CABBAGE. 
Cabbage will thrive on any good corn land, though the stronger the soil the better they will develop. New land is preferable Plough 
deep and manure very liberally. The early sorts hear planting from eighteen inches to two feet apart in the rows, with the rows from two 
to two and a half feet apart. The large varieties to he from two to four feet apart in the rows, with the rows from two and a half 
to four feet apart, the distance varying with the size. The crop should receive as many as three lioeings and three cultivating 
Cabbage will not usually follow cabbage or turnips successfully in field culture, unless three or four years hive intervened between tfe 
crops. For late fall marketing, plant drumhead sorts from June 10th to 20th. For full and minute information in every department of 
Cabbage culture, see my treatise on “ Cabbages, and How to grow them.” y 1L 01
