Long Island Improved Brussels Sprout

Long Island Improved Brussels Sprout (Brassica oleracea) Also known as ‘Catskill’ this variety was introduced to North America in the 1890s.

Planting Instructions: Start indoors 4-5 weeks before last frost. Sow 1/4 inch deep. Line out transplants after risk of frost has passed at 18 inches apart.
