THE EGG PLANT should be grown in every garden for when well grown and properly cooked, is one of the most delicious veget- 

 ables. Sliced and fried in batter and served with raw tomatoes, it can well take the place of meat in the summer and fall. 

 * Did you know that Egg Plant Growing is 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, the plants never recovering from a check received when young. 

 When the plants have formed two rough leaves, transplant to three or four 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 from cold nig', ts is past ; then harden off the plants by gradual exposure 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 and 

 protect them from the potato bug, which is very fond of them and will often destroy them. A rich harvest will reward your care.

 able to grow. Plants large, spreading. Foliage light green.

BUCKBEE'S NEW WHITE EGG PLANT— 3— This variety offered 

 now for the first time is without a doubt the preferable by far of 



all to grow either for market, family or shipping purposes. It 

 produces much larger fruit and is more productive than the New 

 York Purple, which it resembles somewhat in shape, though 

 some are more elongated and oval. It is a beautiful ivory white, 

 although occasionally one has a dash of purple or white. The 

 flesh is more tender and flavor more delicate than purple vari- 

 eties. Do not confound this with old Large White or other white 

 varieties from which it is entirelv distinct. I control the entire 

 stock of this varietv. Pkt. 10c, 3 Pkts. 25c. 12 Pkts. 81.00.
