NEW WHITE EGG PLANT.— One of my customers received 
two plants of White Egg Plant from a friend w ho brought the seed 
trom Sweden. They were set out at the same tame with some of the 
Purple varieties, and proved hardier and more prolific, and very 
much superior in every way, having no green color under the skir 
whatever, and being very much firmer in flesh. The shape is exce 
lently shown in illustration given herewith. The originator : 
follows : ‘‘They are a true egg shape, very smooth, and ne 
color and smoothness of polished ivory than anything I can « I 
them to. If they have a fault, it isin their propensity to over-produc

UPLAND CRES green vegeta- 
bles are scarcest, when the appetite for anything like this is the 
strongest, and when wished for the most ; it is the first from the open 
ground, weeks ahead of lettuce, asparagus or spipach. In quality it 
is the very best, haying the identical, very agreeable and highly- 
prized flavor of the Water Cress; it grows with surprising and 
unequaled rapidity, so that in a few days after the opening of Spring, 
it is ready to use. The young and tender leaves can be eaten raw or 
asasalad. It is excellent prepaid the same as lettuce, or when the 
leaves become large and plentiful, boiled as greens, being far super- 
ior to spinach. It is of easy culture, thriving on any soil, wet or dry, 
and when once established remains, appearing regularly every Spring, 
requiring no further care. Upland Cress endures more cold, more 
freezing without injury than any other plant; from 15 to 20 degrees 
of frost will not change the color of the leaves, and if wanted to use 
in the South, as they are an easy, sure crop, and afford an abundance of food for both man during the whole Winter, a covering of two inches of straw will fully
