23 



EGG PLANT 



Prices Include Postage on Pkt., Ozs., Y4 Lbs. and Lbs. 



1 Ounce Egg Plant Seed 



Will Produce About 500 Plants. 



CULTURE. Egg Plant seed should be sown very early in hot- 

 bed; plants being very tender, must be protected from frost but 

 exposed as far as practicable to light and air to harden them. 

 Egg Plant seed will not germinate freely without a strong uni- 

 form heat; if they get the least chilled they seldom recover; 

 therefore, repeated sowing is sometimes necessary. 



C44. Black Beauty. The earliest and the best of all- 

 large-fruited Egg Plants. It is valuable alike to the private 

 planter and the extensive grower for the market. Black 

 Beauty produces fruits fully as large and ready for use ten 

 days to two weeks earlier than the New York Improved 

 Purple. The grand, large fruits are thick, and of attractive 

 form. The skin is a rich lustrous purplish-black — the satin 

 gloss and rich coloring adding greatly to its beauty. The 

 intensely brilliant coloring is uniform over the whole fruit 

 and does not fade or change to a lighter color. Pkt. 5 and 

 10 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; V4 lb. $1.25; lb. $4.50. 



216. Florida High Bush. Has proved of the greatest 

 value to the Southern truckers and shippers. It is remark- 

 able for its vigorous growth and productiveness; very hardy 

 and will stand more cold weather than the New York Im- 

 proved. The hot sun does not blight the blossoms. It grows 

 from 3 to 4 feet high, erect and sturdy, free from thorns. 

 Fruit is large, oblong in shape and purple; keeps its fresh- 

 ness and condition much longer than any other variety. 

 Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; 1/4 lb. $1.15; lb. $4.00.

Dwarf Curled Norfolk Kale, 



KOHL-RAB 



One Ounce Sows 

 300 Feet of Drill 



CULTURE. Sow in spring, in rows 18 inches apart, afterward 

 thinning the plants to 8 or 10 ins. If the weather is suitable, 

 the thinning may be planted, but it is considered difficult to trans- 

 plant. Keep the weeds down, and when the thickened stems 

 above ground are 2 to 3 inches through they are fit to eat, and 

 should be used at once, being tough when old. Cook like turnips. 



187. Early White Vienna, when young and tender, 

 and properly prepared for the table, it is almost equal to the 

 cauliflower. Besides, it is a certain crop, requiring no more 

 care or cultivation than a crop of cabbage. For a fall crop 

 sow in June. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts,; oz. 20 cts.; '/4 lb. 65 cts.;
