EGGPLANT 



Petonciano (Ital.) 



One ounce will produce about 1000 plants 



Sow the seeds in hotbeds in early March, and transplant to small pots, 

 to make them strong and stocky. They should not be planted out until 

 May or June, when the weather becomes warm and settled. Set the 

 plants in rows 3 feet apart each way and give them thorough cultiva- 

 tion. Rich soil is necessary to grow good Eggplants. It pays to dig a 

 shovelful or two of old manure in each hill when setting out the plants. 

 BLACK BEAUTY. Fruit broad and thick; lustrous purplish black in 



color; very productive; of excellent quality. 

 NEW YORK IMPROVED SPINELESS. A strong and productive sort. 



Fruits deep purple, large, smooth, free from thorns; flesh white, tender. 



Indivia (Ital.) 



Endivie (Ger.) ENDIVE 



One ounce will sow 200 ft. of row 



This is an important fall and winter salad. For the early crop, the 

 seed should be sown in April, in drills 15 inches apart, and the seedlings 

 thinned to stand 12 inches apart in the rows. Sowings for the main crop 

 may be made in June and July, as the vegetable is used principally in 

 fall and winter. The inner leaves are blanched by tying the tips of the 

 outer ones together, or by laying boards over the plants. 



Large Green Curled Endive 



LARGE GREEN CURLED. Dark green leaves, beautifully 

 curled and, when blanched, very crisp and tender; ready 

 for use earlier than other sorts. Our strain is extra fine. 



PANCALIER. A strong grower with heavy curled deep green 

 leaves, an easy blanching variety. 



GIANT FRINGED. A very strong-growing variety. Broad 

 stems and large white heart. Good for fall and winter. 

 Fine in appearance and quality. 



BROAD-LEAVED BATAVIAN (Escarolle). The broad, thick 

 leaves make excellent salads when blanched.
