A popular heirloom that dates back to the 1890's, 'Long Island Improved' is a improvement over the then popular 'Catskill'.  'Long Island Improved' has a compact habit and high sprout set.  The sprouts themselves are sweet and tender.  Time this variety to have a couple months of growing time prior to a cool down and a month or more of cool conditions to produce the sprouts.  Plants will not produce sprouts if exposed to temperatures above 85 degrees for an extended amount of time.
