 June, in a rich warm piece of ground about thirty inches apart. 



Draw the earth up to their stems when about a foot high. Egg-plant 

 seed will not vegetate freely without substantial heat, and if the plants 

 get the least chilled, in the earlier stages of growth, they seldom re- 

 cover. Repeated sowings are sometimes necessary.

 which must be done when quite dry, or they will rot. At the approach
