Brussels Sprouts 
A very delicate vegetable and deserves a more general cultivation than 
they receive. The plant belongs to the Cabbage family and should be 
grown and cultivatd like Cabbage. The “sprouts” which grow around 
the strong, upright stems of the plant, look like miniature cabbages. 
Very hardy, improved by frost. One ounce will produce 2,000 plants. 
Half-Dwarf Improved. Bearing a large crop of small, solid, tender 
heads. Pkt., 5c; ok., 20c; % lb., 00c; lb., 81.80.

CULTURE. One ounce of good seed will produce 2,000 plants. 
For early Cabbages sow the seed in a hotbed in March or April, 
covering the seed from one-quarter to one-half inch deep and 
when big enough transplant to another bed. As soon as the 
ground is in good condition, transplant outside in rows 2 feet 
apart and 15 to 18 inches in a row. The soil should be mellow, 
rich and well drained. For late crops the seed can be sown in 
a cold frame or even in the open ground, and then transplant¬ 
ed in rows 3 feet one way and 2 feet the other, so as to be 
able to work with a horse and cultivator. One ounce of salt¬ 
peter dissolved in 3 gallons of rain water, sprinkled over the 
Cabbage or Cauliflower will destroy the green worm. The liquid being clear does not 
color the Cauliflower or Cabbage heads. Fine air-slacked lime or tobacco dust sifted on 
the young plants as soon as the fleas appear on the ground will prevent them from 
doing harm.
