EGG PLANT 



One Ounce Eg-ff-Plant SeecT Will Proclwce About 500 Plants. 



CULTURE. Egg- 

 plant seed should 

 be sown very early 

 in hotbed; plants, 

 being very tender, 

 must be protected 

 from frost but ex- 

 posed as far as 

 p r a c t i c a ble to 

 light and air to 

 harden them. Egg- 

 plant seed will not 

 germinate f r e ely 

 without a strong 

 uniform heat; if 

 they get the least 

 chilled they sel- 

 dom recover; 

 therefore, repeated 

 sowing is s o m e- 

 times necessary.
