EGG PLANT 



1 Ounce Egg Plant Seed 



Will Produce About 500 Plants 



CULTURE. Egg Plant seed should be sown very early in 

 hotbed; plants being very tender, must be protected from 

 frost but exposed as far as practicable to light and air to 

 harden them. Egg Plant seed will not germinate freely with- 

 out a strong uniform heat; if they get the least chilled they 

 seldom recover; therefore, repeated sowing is sometimes 

 necessarv. 



205. Black Beauty Egg Plant. ("Best in Gar- 

 den" Variety.) (110 days.) The earliest and the best 

 of all large-fruited Egg Plants. It is valuable alike to 

 the private planter and the extensive grower for the 

 market. Black Beauty produces fruits fully as large and 

 ready for use ten days to two weeks earlier than the New 

 York Improved Purple. The grand, large fruits are thick, 

 and of attractive form. The skin is a rich lustrous 

 purplish-black — the satin gloss and rich coloring add- 

 ing greatly to its beauty. The intensely brilliant col- 

 oring is uniform over the whole fruit and does not fade 

 or change to a lighter color. Pkt, 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; 

 % lb. .$1.00; lb. $.3.,50; 2-Ib. lots, $3.25 lb.; 5-lb. lots, 

 $3.00 lb.; 10-lb. lots, $2.75 lb., postpaid. 



339. Florida High Bush. (120 days.) Has proved of 

 the greatest value to the Southern truckers and shippers. It 

 is remarkable for its vigorous growth and productiveness; very 

 hardy and will stand more cold weather than the New York 

 Improved. The hot sun does not blight the blossoms. It grows 

 from 3 to 4 feet high, erect and sturdy, free from thorns. 

 Fruit is large, oblong in shape and purple; keeps its fresh- 

 ness and condition much longer than any other variety. 

 Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; V4 lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50; 2-lb. lots, $3.25 

 lb.; 5-lb. lots, $3.00 lb.; 10-lb. lots, $2.75 lb„ postpaid. 



65. Bolgiano's New York Improved Large Purple 

 Thornless Egg Plant. (I20 days.) In shape, color and 

 size this Egg Plant is perfection; its rich, glossy, dark purple 

 color, its beautiful form and large size make it most attrac- 

 tive for the markets and for shipping. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 

 cts.; '4 lb. 90 cts.; lb. $3.25; 2-lb. lots, $3.00 lb.; 5-lb. lots, 

 $2.75 lb.; 10-lb. lots, $2.60 lb., postpaid. 



LEEK 



One Ounce to Sow a Drill of 100 Feet 



CULTURE. The Leek is very hardy, of easy culture, and succeeds best 

 in a lifrht soil. Sow early in April in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep. 

 When the plants are 6 to 8 inches high transplant in a deep, rich 



soil in rows 12 ins. 

 apart and 6 ins. in the 

 rows, as deep as pos- 

 sible, so that the neck 

 may be covered and 

 blanched ; draw the 

 earth to them as they 

 grow. The seed may 

 also be sown in Au- 

 gust or September, and 

 the young plants trans- 

 planted in the spring. 



50. E X t r a 

 Large Leek. 

 (80 days.) 



It is the best. This 

 mammoth leek is 

 not to be compared 

 with the old kinds. 

 It grows much 

 larger and is very 

 handsome. Pkt. 10 

 tts.; oz. 15 cts.; '4 

 lb. .50 cts.; lb. $1.75, 

 postpaid.

Egg Plant 



KOHL-RABI 



One Ounce Sows 

 300 Feet of Drill 



CULTURE. Sow in spring, in rows 18 inches apart, afterward thinning 

 the plants to 8 or 10 inches. If the weather is suitable, the thinning 

 may be planted, but it is considered difficult to transplant. Keep the 

 weeds down, and when the thickened stems above ground are 2 to 3 

 inches through they are fit to eat, and should be used at once, being 

 tough when old. Cook like turnips. 



310. Early White Vienna. (55 days.) Wlien young 

 and tender, and properly prepared for the table, it is almost 

 equal to the cauliflower. Besides, it is a certain crop, requir- 

 ing no more care or cultivation than a crop of cabbage. For 

 fall crop sow in June. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 14 lb. 45 cts.; 

 lb. $1.50, postpaid.
