EGG PLANT 



1 Ounce Egg Plant Seed Will Produce About 500 Plants 

 CULTURE. Egg Plant seed should be sown very early in hotbed; 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 with- 

 out a strong uniform heat; if they get the least chilled they seldom recover; therefore, repeated sowing is sometimes 

 necessary. 



Bolgiano's 



Black Beauty 



Egg Plant 



205. Black Beauty Egg Plant. ("Best in Gar- 

 den" Variety.) (110 days.) 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 add- 

 ing greatly to its beauty. The intensely brilliant col- 

 oring is uniform over the whole fruit and does not fade 

 or change to a lighter color. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; 

 '/4 lb, 90 cts.; lb. $3.00; 2-Ib. lots, $2.75 lb.; 5-lb. lots, 

 $2.50 lb., postpaid. 



339. Florida High Bush. (120 days.) Has proved of 

 the greatest value to the Southern truckers and shippers. It 

 is remarkable for its vigorous growth and productiveness; very 

 hardy and will stand more cold weather than the New York 

 Improved. 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. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; V4 lb. 90 cts.; lb. $3.00; 2-lb. lots, 

 $2.75 lb.; 5-lb. lots, $2.50 lb., postpaid. 



ENDIVE 



One Ounce Will Sow 150 Feet of Row 



Endive is one of the best salads for Fall and Winter use. 

 Sow for an early supply about the middle of April. As it is 

 used mostly in the Fall months, the main sowings are made 

 in June and July in the open ground in rows one foot apart. 

 The plants should be thintied quite early to one foot apart in 

 the row. When the plant has attained its full size, gather 

 up the leaves and tie them by their tips in a conical form. 

 This excludes the light and air from the inner leaves until 

 blanched. 



Broad Leaf Batavian Endive 



198. Batavian or Full Heart. (55 days.) Leaves a 



pale green; requires very little blanching. More productive 

 than green curled. Forms large heads of broad, thick leaves. 

 Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; V4 lb. 35 cts.; lb. 90 cts.; 2-lb. lots, 

 80 cts. lb.; 5-lb. lots, 70 cts. lb.; 10-lb. lots, 65 cts. lb., post- 

 paid. 



43. Green Curled. (50 days.) Self-blanching, The 

 best in cultivation. Much more beautiful and ornamental 

 than the old sort. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; '4 lb. 35 cts.; lb. 

 90 cts.; 2-lb. lots, 80 cts. lb.; 5-lb. lots, 70 cts. lb.; 10-Ib. lots, 

 65 cts. lb., postpaid. 



285. White Curled. (50 days.) As the color of the 

 leaves is a light golden-yellow, little or no blanching is re- 

 quired. Very easily grown, and plants may be gathered for 

 use at any time. Pkt. 10 cts,; oz. 15 cts.; Y4 lb. 35 cts.; lb. 

 90 cts.; 2-lb. lots, 80 cts. lb.; 5-lb. lots, 70 cts. lb.; 10-lb. lots, 

 65 cts. lb., postpaid.
