Johnson's Northmount Egg Plant 



An Earlier Improved Black Beauty 



This fine new variety is the result of selection of the very earliest and finest fruits of the celebrated 

 " Black Beauty." It is, beyond question, the earliest and hardiest of all Large Smooth Purple Egg 

 Plants. While the fruits are not always quite as large as Black Beauty, it ripens fully ten days earlier 

 and is suited to more northern climates. One of the faults of the old sorts was that they matured so 

 late that in northern latitudes the entire crop could not be gathered before frost set in and destroyed 

 them. With the introduction of Johnson's Northmount, this danger is past, owing to its great earliness. 



The plants branch freely near the ground and grow in well-rounded bushes. The fruits are thick, of 

 most attractive shape (as shown in illustration), and in color a lustrous purplish black. This coloring is 

 uniform over the whole fruit, and does not fade at the blossom end, as do so many of the older 

 varieties. It is valuable alike to the private planter and the extensive grower for market. We have 

 received hundreds of letters testifying to the merits of this valuable Egg Plant, and give below extracts 

 from a few of them. Prices, per pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c.; $ oz., $1.00 ; oz., $1.75 ; 4 ozs., $5.60.
