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 sufficiently 

 warm, in May or June; 

 or they can be trans- 

 planted into a second 

 bed to make them 

 strong, until the weath- 

 er is warm enough to 

 transplant, about three 

 feet apart each way. in 

 thoroughly worked and 

 well enriched soil. 

 Draw the earth up to 

 the stems when about a 

 foot high. Egg-plant seed will not vegetate freely with- 

 out a strong uniform heat, and if the plants get the least 

 chilled in the earlier stages of growth they seldom re- 

 cover. Therefore repeated sowings are sometimes neces- 

 sary. Care should be observed in cutting the fruit so as 

 not to disturb the roots of the plants.
