EGG PLANT 



CUITURE.— Sow the seed in hotbeds early in March. When three inches 

 high pot the young plants, using small pots, and plunge them in the sami 

 th^ ^nt^^^^^^*" may become stocky. They can be planted out f?om 



the pots when the season becomes sufficiently warm in May or June or 

 they can be transplanted mto a second bed to make fhem strong until the 

 weather IS warm enough to transplant about three feet apart each way in 

 thoroughly-worked and well-enriched soil. Draw the earth up to the stems 

 when about a foot high. Egg Plant Seed will not vegetate freely without 

 a strong uniform heat, and if the plants get the least chilled in the earlier 

 stages of growth they seldom recover. 'Therefore, repeated sowings are 

 sometimes necessary. Care should be observed in cutting the fruit so as 

 not to disturb the roots of the plants. One ounce will produce about 1000 

 plants.
