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 thinned 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. 



198. Batavian or Full Heart. (90 days.) Leaves pale 

 green; require very little blanching. Plants upright in 

 growth, form large heads of broad, thick leaves. Extensively 

 used by market gardeners and shippers. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 

 cts.; V4 lb. .35 cts.; lb. $1.00, postpaid. 



43. Green Curled. (95 days.) Self blanching. Dark 

 green, curly leaves, finely cut, give the plant a feathery 

 effect. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; '^ lb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.00, 

 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.; !4 lb. 35 cts.; lb. 

 $1.00, postpaid.

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.
