Brussels Sprouts 
CULTURE —This is a delicious vegetable, more delectable in flavor than any 
other member of the Cabbage family. The small, cabbage-like heads which 
grow upon the stem are much improved by a moderate frost. Sow in hotbeds 
in March or April, and in the open ground in May; cultivate same as Broccoli. 
1 ounce will sow a bed of 40 sq. ft. and produce about 8,000 plants. 
LONG ISLAND IMPROVED—Undoubtedly the best and most dependable. 
Plant earlier, more dwarf and compact than other varieties. 
Cabbage 
Days given are from transplanting to maturity 
CULTURE —Soil for Cabbage should be rich, heavy loam, with good drain¬ 
age. For an early crop sow the seed in the late winter in a greenhouse or hot¬ 
bed, later transplanting to cold frame for hardening, and then to the field in 
early April. The crop will be ready for use about the latter part of June. For a 
mid-season, or late crop, plant the seed in the open ground about May 1st, 
transplanting later in rows 2p2 feet apart with plants 18 inches to 2 feet apart 
in the row. Give good clean cultivation at all times, and as necessary fertilize 
with a complete fertilizer, high in Nitrogen content. 
Use varieties adapted to seasons, either early or late, as per descrip¬ 
tions. 
1 ounce will produce 3,000 plants; 4 ounces for an acre.
