(One ounce will produce about 

 1,000 plants.) 

 CUI.TUKE. — Sow the seed in 

 bot-beds early in March. When 

 three inches high pot the young 

 plants, using small pots, and 

 plunge them in the same bed, so 

 that the plants may become 

 stocky. They can be planted, 

 out, from the pots, when the sea- 

 son becomes suflBciently warm, 

 in May or J une ; or they can be 

 transplanted into a second bed 

 to make them 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.
