Florida High Bush Extremely Prolific — Stand Drought 



On July 8. 1916. Mr. D. P. Hurr. of Colorado Co.. Texas, wrote: -The 'Florida 

 High Bush Egg Plant' Seed that I got from you is the best for Texas. We had a severe 

 drought just after the seed came up, lasting six neeks. The plants grew right along, mak- 

 ing high enormous bushes, and are now full of beautiful eggs and blooms. They beat any 

 kind that I have ever tried Jiere, as they stand drought so well and are so prolific."

 tried for several years to raise Egg Plants, but never until this year have I been able to 

 raise them, but look out for this year. They must be some Egg Plants. They are still 

 bearing although the wealher is dry."

Culture. The Kales are more hardy than Cabbage, make excellent 

 greens for Winter and Spring use, and are improved by frost. Sow from May 

 to June, and cultivate the same as Cabbage. For early Spring use sow in Sep- 

 tember, and protect during Winter. Some of the varieties are so hardy that 

 the green leaves may he dug out from under the snow in Winter and be used 

 for greens. 



113. Bore Cole or Kale. Hardy Winter Spargel Kohl. The most 

 salable, delicious and tender of all Winter Kales. About Baltimore it is sown 

 in May, and transplanted like Cabbage to stand over Winter. It is taller than the extra dwarf varieties and when the 

 leaves are strippetl or fall off, new tender leaves quickly grow out. Then they are again stripped off and used for 

 marketing. It will stand the coldest Winter. Besides being a delicious vegetable, it has always been an exceptionally 

 profitable crop, bringing money during the Winter months when most all vegetables are scarce. Pkts. 5c and 10c.
