BORECOLE 
Extensively grown in this locality and also in the South 
during the Fall, Winter and Spring. The plant is more 
hardy than cabbage, and makes excellent greens for Winter 
and Spring use. The quality is improved rather than in¬ 
jured by frost. One ounce'of seed will sow a drill of about 
150 feet. Should be grown like cabbage. The lower leaves 
are generally stripped and this allows the plant to con¬ 
tinue growing to furnish more during the season.

SPROUTS 
This vegetable is used in the 
Fall and early Winter and by 
some considered more tender 
and delicious than any cabbage. 
The plant resembles the cab¬ 
bage, the edible part being the 
numerous very small heads or 
sprouts, an inch or two in di¬ 
ameter, formed on the stalk at 
each leaf joint. Culture is the 
same in all essentials as the 
cabbage, except the leaves 
should be broken down in the 
Fall to give the little heads 
more room to grow.
