Sow in hot beds early in March ; transplant middle of May to first of 

 June, in a rich warm piece of ground — about thirty inches apart. 

 Draw the earth up to their stems when about a foot high. Egg-plant 

 seed will not vegetate freely without substantial heat, and if the plants 

 get the least chilled, in the earlier stages of growth, they seldom recover. 

 Repeated sowings are sometimes necessary.
