EGG PLANT 



One ounce will produce about one thousand plants 



ElERPFLANZE, u'ci. 



CULTURE — Sow the seeds in hot-beds early In March. When three inches high pot the young plants, 

 asing small pots, and plunge them in the same bed, so that the plants may become stocky. They can be 

 planted out from the pots, when the season becomes sufficiently warm, in May or June; or they can be trans- 

 planted Into a second bed, to make them strong, until the weather is warm enough to transplant, about three 

 feet apart each way. in thoroughly worked and well-enriched soil. Draw the earth up to the stems when 

 about a foot high. Egg-plant seed will not vegetate freely without a strong, uniform heat, and if the plants 

 get the least chilled in the earlier stages of growth they seldom recover. Therefore, repeated sowings are 

 sometimes necessary.

ENDIVE 



ExDiviEX, Ger. 



One ounce of seed to 150 feet of row 



CULTURE — Endive is one of the best and most wholesome salads for fall and winter use. Sow in shal- 

 low drills in April for early use. or for late use in June or July. When 2 or 3 inches high, transplant into 

 good ground or thin out to 1 foot apart. When nearly full grown, and before they are fit for the table, they 

 must be blanched. This is done by gathering the leaves together and tying with yam or bass, to exclude 

 the light and air from the inner leaves, which must be done when quite dry, or they will rot. Another 

 method is to cover the plants with boards or slats. In three or four weeks they will be blanched.
