The Egg Plant should be grown in every garden, for when well-grown and properly cooked is one of the most delicious vegetables. Sliced and fried 

 in batter, and ser%-ed with raw tomatoes, it can well take the place of meat iu the summer and fall. Did you know that Egg Plant Growing was one of 

 the most profitable crops? Many growers clear $200 00 to $500.00 per acre. Will you be one of them? The seed germinates slowly, and should be started 

 in strong heat, for in this as in all sub-tropical plants, it is of importance to secure a rapid and continuous growth from the first, as the plants never 

 recover from a check received when young. When the plants have formed two rough leaves, transplant to two or three inches apart. Keep the bed 

 closed and very warm, shading from the direct rays of the sun and giving abundance of water until the ground is warm, and all danger, not only from 

 frost but untilcold nights are past: then harden off the plants by gr.idualexposure to the sun and air and decrease the supply of water. Then carefully 

 transplant into the open ground, setting the plants two and a half feet apart. If needed, shade the young plants; a rich harvest will reward your care.
