JOHNSON SEED COMPANY 



PHOTOGRAPH OF AVERAGE SPECIMENS OF JOHNSON S NORTHMOUNT EGG PLANT 



Johnson's Northmount Egg Plant 



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. 



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

 thick, of most attractive shape, 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. 



Prices, per pkt., 15c; V2 oz., 25c; oz., 40c; i/4 lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00.
