CATALOGUE OF VEGETABLE SEEDS. BRUSSELS SPROUTS. German, Sprossenkohl.âFrench, Chou deBruxelles.âSpanish, Berza 'de Brusela. Species of the Cabbage family. It produces along the whole length of the stem small sprouts resem- bling miniature cabbages. These heads are a great delicacy boiled in the same way as Cauliflower.

(For price on Cabbage Plants, see Vegetable Plants). All the cabbage tribe requires is the soil to be rich, deep, well-drained, and abundantly manured. For the early kinds, plant thirty inches between the rows and six- teen inches between the plants. For late kinds, three feet between the rows and two feet between the plants. For very early use, sow in January or February, in hot- beds. Set out when the plants are strong enough into other hot-beds, or set in cold-frames in March. Trans- plant when danger from frost is past to the open ground. For a succession, sow in the open ground last of March or early in April. Late plants are sometimes subject to at- tacks of the cabbage fly, which destroys them as fast as they appear above ground. To prevent this destruction, sprinkle the plants with wood ashes, air-slacked lime, plaster, slug-shot, or tobacco dust, when the plants are wet with dew. One ounce of seed produces 3,000 plan
