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. 
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.; 
% Ib. $1.00; Ib. $3.50; 2-Ib. lots, $3.25 Ib.; 5-Ib. lots, 
$3.00 Ib.; 10-Ib. lots, $2.75 Ib., 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 38 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.; 14 Ib. $1.00; lb. $3.50; 2-lb. lots, $3.25 
Ib.; 5-Ib. lots, $3.00 Ib.; 10-Ib. lots, $2.75 lb,, postpaid. 
LEEK 
One Ounce to Sow a Drill of 100 Feet 
CULTURE. The Leek is very hardy, of easy culture, and succeeds best 
in a light soil. Sow early in April in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep. 
When the plants are 6 to 8 inches high transplant in a deep, rich 
soil in rows 12 ins. 
apart and 6 ins. in the 
rows, as deep as pos 
sible, so that the neck 
may be covered and 
blanched; draw _ the 
earth to them as they 
grow. The seed may 
also be sown in Au- 
gust or September, and 
the young plants trans— 
planted in the spring. 
50. Extra 
Large Leek. 
(80 days.) 
It is the best. This 
mammoth leek is 
not to be compared 
with the old kinds. 
It grows much 
larger and is very 
handsome. Pkt. 10

CULTURE. Sow in spring, in rows 18 inches apart, afterward thinning 
the plants to 8 or 10 inches. If the weather is suitable, the thinning 
may be planted, but it is considered difficult to transplant. 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. 
310. Early White Vienna. (55 days.) When young 
and tender, and properly prepared for the table, it is almost 
equal to the cauliflower. Besides, it is a certain crop, requir- 
ing no more care or cultivation than a crop of cabbage. For 
fall crop sow in June. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 4 Ib. 45 ets.; 
Ib. $1.50, postpaid.
