"By this week's boat, we made a shipment to New York, of New York Spineless Egg Plant 

 raised from your seed. Some of them weighed 96 ounces, and only six fruits could be packed 

 in a crate on account of being so big, some of them measuring 26Yi inches in circumference." 

 AUGUST DE CHABERT. Fidela Farm, Toa Baja, P. R. 

 "I pulled a Black Beauty Egg Plant yesterday that weighed 56 ounces. I raised it from seed 

 purchased from you this spring. I had another that weighed 3A ounces. Is not this a very 

 large one? I have never heard of one weighing as much as 56 ounces."
