EGG PLANT-Eierfrucht 



I oz. will produce 1,000 plants. 

 Sow in March in hot beds, and transplant when two 

 inches high into a second hot bed, or let them remain and 

 thin out to four inches apart. When the weather becomes 

 settled, transplant into the open ground three feet apart 

 each way. Good culture is quite as important as good 

 seed. Work the ground deep, make it rich with well- 

 rotted manure and hoe often.

 beautiful and earliest of all 

 large Egg Plants. Pkt. ioc;

 ple. — Oval shaped, thorn-

ENDIVE- Endivien 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 3 lbs. to acre. 



It may be sown at any time. For main crop sow in 

 June or July in rows 16 inches apart. When nearly full 

 grown it is blanched, to destroy bitterness, in the follow- 

 ing form: When dry gather up the leaves and tie them 

 by their tips in a conical shape, or lay clean boards right 

 over the plants, which thereby excludes the light and air 

 from the inner leaves, which then blanch to a beautiful 

 yellowish white. After fourteen days or three weeks 

 they will be ready for use. Tie up at different times, as 

 it only keeps a short time after blanching. It makes a 

 spiendid salad and is very useful, as it comes in after 

 lettuce is gone. 



Ever White Curled. — By far the most beautiful vari- 

 ety. Plants moderately dense; leaves coarser than those 

 of the Green Curled, but the mid-rib is yellow and the 

 leaves frequently almost white, so that the plants are 

 very attractive and always bring the highest prices on 

 the market. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; lb. $1.00. 



Green Curled. — This is the hardiest variety, and very 

 desirable for the home and market garden. The deep 

 green leaves are beautifully cut and curled, easily 

 blanched and become very crisp, tender and fine fla- 

 vored. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Y\ lb. 40c; lb. $1.00.

For broadcast, 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. For transplanting, 1 

 oz. to 200 ft. of drill. 



Long Standing, or New American Kale. — This beauti- 

 ful deeply green curled variety combines two important 

 features, hardy as the Siberian and extra curled, and 

 like the well-known Curled Scotch. Superior to all 

 other sorts and will stand longer without shooting to 

 seed than any other. J4 lb. ioc; lb. 25c 



Curled German. — Curly, dwarf, hardy and rapid grow- 

 er. J4 lb. ioc; lb. 20C

 peculiarities of the Cabbage. Sow in

 tween the plants.

 ite market variety, of enormous
