 CULTURE.— Sow in hot-bed early in Spring. The plants 

 being very tender, must be sheltered from frost, but exposed 

 so far as practicable to sun and air. Egg Plant Seed will not 

 vegetate freely without a strong, uniform heat, and if the 

 plants get the least chilled in the earlier stages of growth 

 they seldom recover. Therefore repeated sowings are some- 

 times necessary. Care should be observed in cutting the 

 fruit, so as not to disturb the roots of the plants.

used with Lettuce, to the flavor of which its warm, pungent taste 

 makes a most agreeable addition. The seed should be sown In 

 drills about 16 inches apart, on very rich ground, and the plants 

 well cultivated. It may be planted very early, but repeated sow- 

 ings are necessary to secure a succession. Keep off insects by 

 dusting with Slug"-Shot.

,<TRUE WATER CRESS.— This is quite distinct from the last, 

 and only thrives when its roots and stems are submerged in 

 water. It is one of the most delicious of small salads and should 

 be planted wherever a suitable place can be found. The seed 

 should be sown and lightly covered in gravelly, mucky lands, 

 along the borders of small, rapid streams. The plants will need 

 no subsequent culture, as under favorable conditions they in- 

 crease very rapidly by self-sown seed and extension of the roots.
