CULTURE.— Sow the seed in hotbeds early in March. Wlien 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 season becomes sufficiently warm, in May or June, 

 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 some- 

 times necessary. Care should be observed in cutting the fruit, so as not to 

 disturb the roots of the plants. One ounce will produce about 1000 plants,
