EGG PLANT. 



German, Eierpflanze. 



(One ounce will produce about one thousand plants.) 



Sow the seed in hot- 

 beds early in March. 

 When three inches high, 

 pot the young- plants, 

 using small pots, and 

 plunge them in the same 

 bed, so that the plants 

 may become stocky. 

 They can be planted out, 

 from the pots, when the 

 season becomes suffi- 

 ciently warm, in May or 

 June; or they can be 

 transplanted into a sec- 

 ond bed to make them 

 strong, until the weather 

 is warm enough to trans- 

 plant, about three feet 

 apart each way, in tho- 

 roughly worked and well 

 enriched soil. Draw the 

 earth up to the stems 

 when about a foot high. 

 Egg-plant seed will not 

 vegetate freely without a strong uniform heat, and if the 

 plants get the least chilled in the earlier stages of growth 

 they seldom recover. Therefore repeated sowings are 

 sometimes necessary. Care should be observed in cutting 

 the fruit so as not to disturb the roots of the plants.

ENDIVE. 



German, Eiidivien. 



(One ounce of seed to 150 feet of row.) 

 For early use, sow as soon as the ground can be worked 

 in the spring, in drills fifteen inches apart, and thin plants 

 to six or eight inches in the row. To blanch the leaves, 

 gather them carefully together when perfectly dry, and 

 tie with matting or soft fibrous material. Another method 

 is to invert flower pots over the plant. The leaves are 

 very highly esteemed for use as salads. 



GREEN CERLEO.— The best sort in use. Useful 

 as a salad, and also used for garnishing.

 liberally, plant in April in drills six 

 to eight inches deep and eighteen 

 inches apart, and thin to nine inches

 the earth around the plants until 

 the drills are filled level with the 

 surface. Draw for use in October.

LETTUCE. 



German, Lattich. 



(One ounce of seed to 150 feet of row.) 

 Lettuce requires a rich and rather moist soil. The rows 

 should be about twelve inches apart, and the plants 

 thinned to ten or twelve inches apart for the leading va- 

 rieties. The more rapid the growth the better the qual- 

 ity. Some varieties are peculiarly adapted for early cul- 

 ture, others for summer growth. 



EARLY CURLED Black Seed- 



Very early, excellent for salads ; forms a compact mass 

 of leaves.

DEFIANCE.- Stands summer heat better than any 

 other variety ; one of the finest large growing varieties. 

 It forms very large solid heads, so firm they have to be 

 cut open to allow the flower heads to come through.

WHITE LOAF- This is so well-known to Truck- 

 ers and Gardeners around Baltimore and Norfolk that for 

 them it scarcely needs description. For the benefit of 

 those who are not acquainted with it, would say it makes 

 large compact heads, is of beautiful light green color, 

 very tender, and, while unsurpassed for frames, is a good 

 out-door sort.

BALTIMORE OAK LEAF- This Lettuce will 

 resist the heat of summer, and stand longer before run- 

 ning to seed than any variety we have ever known. It 

 makes a large solid head, and is very popular with those 

 who know it. Being such a shy seeder, the seed is more 

 expensive than some other sorts.
