EGGPLANT 



Pkts. 1 0c each/ oz. 70c 



This semi-tropical plant requires continuous warm weather for best 

 results. The seed germinates slowly and should be started in a hotbed. 

 Set the plants in the open ground when 2 inches tall, if the weather con- 

 tinues warm. Space 2}^ to 3 feet apart. Shade young plants from hot 

 sun and spray with Paris Green to protect them from potato bugs. 



BLACK BEAUTY Large, symmetrical fruits. Retain glossy black- 

 purple coloring for long time. Popular. 



FLORIDA HIGH BUSH Especially adapted for growing where fruits 

 must be kept off the ground. Fruits longer than thick, glossy. 



• IMPROVED LARGE PURPLE 80 days. Each plant yields 4 to 6 large 

 oval fruits of dark purple; flesh firm and meaty. Very popular. 



ENDIVE 



Pkts. 10c each; oz. 20c 



For early use, sow about April 15th; for later supply, sow in June or 

 July in rows 14 to 20 inches apart and when well started thin the plants 

 to 1 foot apart. When nearly full grown, tie the outer leaves together 

 over the center in order to blanch the heart of the plant. 



Two or three successive plantings during July will provide endive for 

 winter use. Just before killing frosts in fall, dig the plants, being careful 

 to take plenty of soil with the roots and to avoid injury to the leaves. 

 Pack closely together and store in a dark cellar. 



• BROAD LEAVED BATAVIAN (Escarolle) 90 days. Leaves large and 

 broad; heads compact, well-rounded. Unexcelled for salads be- 

 cause of crispness and tenderness.

 resistant. Outer leaves bright green, midribs tinged with rose.

GARLIC 



BULBS To grow garlic in the garden, the several sections or "cloves" 

 of each bulb should be separated and set in rows 10 or 12 inches 

 apart and 4 inches apart in the row. They should be taken up in 

 the fall and stored in a cool, dry place until used.

HORSE-RADISH 



Horse-radish is grown from pieces of the root. Set the roots in the 

 ground vertically, small end down, with the tops of the roots 1 to 3 

 inches below the surface. Cultivate thoroughly until the leaves cover 

 the ground; their shade will keep down the weeds.

 as the plants will withstand several degrees of frost they can grow late 

 into the fall. Many think Kale best after the first heavy frosts.

 rich soil in rows IH feet apart. When plants are well established, thin 

 to 6 inches apart in the row. Plant at intervals of 10 days for a succes- 

 sion of bulbs until hot weather, after which they fail to grow. For fall use, 

 plant the last of July. 



• EARLY PURPLE VIENNA 60 days. •EARLY WHITE VIENNA 



LEEK

A favorite substitute for green onions in fall and winter and a tasty 

 addition to soups and stews. Sow early in spring in rows 12 to 15 inches 

 apart, covering }^ inch deep. Thin the plants to 6 inches apart in the 

 row and draw the earth about them when cultivating. If you desire
