EGGPLANT 



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. An ounce of seed will produce 1,000 plants. 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. 



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.

ENDIVE 



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. An ounce of 

 seed will sow 150 feet of drill.
