C. C. MORSE & GO.— SEEDS— SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF, 
CRESS 
There are two species of cress, as noted below. The first named 
should be sown in drills about 16 inches apart in rich ground, 
early in spring. Several sowings should be made at intervals 
to secure a succession. Watercress should be sowed along the 
banks of running water where there is good soil, and after the 
seed is up it needs no further cultivation, since the plants spread 
over the water and make a mass of fine, edible leaves. 
Fine Curled (Pepper Grass). Leaves finely cut or curled 
like parsley. The leaves are pungent and are used to 
mix with lettuce. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Vi lb. 20c; lb. 50c. 
True Water. Forms a plant the leaves of which are used 
for salad or for garnishing. Thrives only when the 
roots and stems are submerged in water. Pkt. 10c;

with moderately high temperature, about March 1st. When about 
3 inches high, transplant carefully to the garden or field, but not 
until all danger of frost is over. Eggplant does not do so well 
where cool nights prevail as in places where the nights are warm. 
It needs a warm climate to insure quick and uninterrupted growth.
