TOMATO, PEPPER, AND EGG PLANT 69 



species. In garden culture the treatment is much like 

 that of Tomatoes, though no supports are needed. It 

 is a simple matter for any one to grow enough of these 

 Peppers for home use. 



The Eggplant is more difficult to grow than either the 

 Tomato or the Pepper. It is essentially a tropical species 

 and requires much hot weather to develop properly. 

 It is grown to a considerable extent in the southern 

 states, but very little in the northern. The plants require 

 an early start and rapid growth for succcessful results.
