The seed may be start ed i3 the window box or in the hotbed and transplanted to the garden when the ground is in condition to work. Instead of a single head, Brussels sprouts produce a large number of small heads, these heads being formed In the axfjs of the leaves. If tbe heads become too crowded the leaves should be broken off so as to give the heads more room. However, a few leaves should always be left in the top of the stem where the new heads are being formed. Brussels sprouts are more hardy than cabbage and In many sec tlons may be planted In the Fall. ThaxJ should be set in rows 30 to 36 inches apart if for horse cultivation or some what closer for hand cultivation. The plants should be set from 20 to 24 inches apart in the rows. Brussels sprouts may be stored for Winter use in much the same way as cabbage. The best method is to take up the plants, pack them closely to gether in a trench, covering them with from freezing or thawing. U. S. De partment of Agriculture.
