SPROUTING IMPROVED 
Sown in the open ground in March and planted out 2ft. apart 
and allowing 3 ft. between the rows, the plants produce a 
large central head during the early summer. After this is cut 
a profusion of sprouts are produced which enable this 
delicious vegetable to be available over a period of two or 
three months. Both the heads and sprouts should be cut with 
at least 6in. stem, which possess a distinctive and delicious 
flavour. Before cooking, the stems should be peeled, and if 
the sprouts are tied in bundles so that the form is retained, 
this vegetable may be eaten in the same manner as Asparagus. 
Should be sown in the autumn. See illustration. 6d. per pkt.,
