EGG PLANT 



BLACK BEAUTY. 



This is the earliest of the large fruited varieties, and undoubtedly is the 

 most popular. The plants are strong, vigorous, and produce a heavy 

 crop of uniformly large, very dark purple egg shape fruits which retain 

 their color a long time. They are slightly smaller than New York Spine- 

 less, and ready for picking a few days earlier. Our strain of Black 

 Beauty will be found superior to the ordinary stocks in use today.

NEW YORK SPINELESS, also called IMPROVED LARGE PURPLE. 



A prolific market garden variety. The plants are medium tall and of 

 somewhat spreading or branching habit. The fruits are dark purple, 

 rather broad, oval in shape, and of fine quality. They are also slightly 

 larger than Black Beauty but require a few days longer to mature.

FLORIDA HIGH BUSH. The most vigorous variety of Egg Plant. The 

 plants are quite resistant to dry weather and blight, tall and of strong 

 upright growth, producing the fruit well above the ground. The fruits 

 are almost cylindrical in shape, but somewhat broader at the blossom 

 end, and although about the same size as New York Spineless, are more 

 slender in shape. This strain is noted for the uniform dark purple color 

 of the fruits. oz . % lb. lb.

ENDIVE 



DEEP HEART FRINGED (NEW). 



This variety is an entirely new type of Endive, developed from Full- 

 Hearted Batavian, but is entirely distinct from that variety. The plants 

 are of more upright growth than other varieties; the outer leaves turn 

 upward thus reducing the possibility of injury from bottom rots. The 

 leaves resemble Green Curled in color, but are broader, although the 

 leaf margins are as deeply cut and curled. The hearts are well filled 

 and closely packed, with numerous well blanched fine leaves. The 

 plants of Deep Heart Fringed often reach a diameter of about 12 inches 

 and a depth of 7 inches or more. A most desirable variety for market 

 and shipping. oz- y 4 u,. u,. 10 u>s.

 GREEN CURLED.

 leaves finely cut, and hearts full. The mid-ribs are green. Blanches well 

 in late summer and fall.

GREEN CURLED ROSE RIBBED. The rose colored mid-ribs make this 

 variety a popular salad plant. The plant is large, with well filled center 

 or heart. The leaves are not as deeply cut as Green Curled, and do 

 not blanch as well early in the season as that variety. An excellent 

 type for fall crop.

GOLDEN HEART CURLED. 



This variety is the most attractive Endive on the market, and of particu- 

 lar value because it matures in midsummer when other sal- 

 ad plants are scarce. The center of the plant changes from 

 green to creamy yellow, and gives the impression of having 

 been artificially blanched. The leaves are crisp, tender, and 

 of good quality.

Broad Leaved Batavian has large heads, the hearts of which

BROAD LEAVED EATAVIAN (ESCAROLLE). The de- 

 mand for this type both as a salad plant and for "greens" 

 makes it one of the most profitable varieties to grow. The 

 plants are fairly large, leaves broad, thick, quite twisted, 

 and form compact hearts that blanch easily.
