Egg-Plant 



One Ounce of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Matures for Table in 120 Days after Sprouting. 



This seed is generally sown under glass and transplanted to the field 1 or 2 weeks after Corn-plantmg 

 season. The plants are set in rows of 4 feet and at 3 feet in the row. The land cannot be too highly fer- 

 tihzed for this crop — very short, thoroughly rotted stable manure or similar preparation is best; strong 

 or hot, rank manure is unsuitable. 



Sow in hot-beds or other protected place early in the Spring; when up 2 or 3 inches transplant into 

 small pots (which plunge in earth) so as to get stocky, well-rooted plants, and late in the Spring, or not 

 till the commencement of Summer, unless the weather be warm, transplant into thoroughly worked, rich 

 and recently well-manured ground. A good plan is to open a deep, wide trench, filhng it nearly with ma- 

 nure; restore the earth and plant therein, placing the plants 3 feet apart each way. The seed does not 

 vegetate freely; repeated sowings are sometimes necessary. It is almost useless to attempt the culture 

 of Egg-Plant unless the proper attention be given. In growing the Egg-Plant in the Summer and Autumn 

 months m Florida, great trouble is sometimes experienced in getting a stand of plants owing to the excessive 

 heat and beating rams. This difficulty can be largely overcome by shading the ground where the seed is 

 sown. If sown m beds the shading may be accomplished bv means of frames covered with seed-bed cloth, 

 or by blinds of slats or common boards properly supported over the beds to cut off the direct rays of the sun. 

 In Florida, if the seed is sown where the plants are to remain (a bad practice), the shading may be done 

 oy using Palmetto fans and leaves, and placing them one each on the north and south sides of the hill, 

 the tops meeting over the seed. This plan is used by some of the most successful growers in the Gulf 

 •States. 



^ About 3000 plants are required to plant an acre. These plants should produce an average of 4 to 5 

 iruits, weighing 5 to 6 pounds each. Our selected seeds are always taken from fruit weighing 6 to 8 pounds 

 each; we have had them of 12 pounds in weight.
