 standing variety which 

 we are offering for the 

 first time this year pro- 

 duces symmetrical, cy-

 diameter. The fruits are 

 well rounded at the ends 

 and when in condition 

 for use are deep green

 ideal shipping variety, 

 it is also equally desir-

 very warm, rich soil, in 

 drills 18 inches apart; thin 

 to 5 inches and cultivate 

 well; they will be fit for 

 cutting the next spring. 

 When grown for the roots, 

 sow in September and culti- 

 vate well during the fall and following summer; the roots will 

 be fit to dig in October.

EGGPLANT 



This semi-tropical plant requires continuous warm weather 

 for best results. The seed germinates slowly and should be 

 started in a hotbed. Set the plants in the open ground when 

 2 inches tall, if the weather continues warm. Space 23^ to 3 

 feet apart. Shade young plants from hot sun and spray with 

 Paris Green to protect them from potato bugs.
