Egg Plants 
And How to Grow Them 
In our vicinity seed should be sown in March in a 
warm hotbed in lisht, rich soil, or they may be started 
in a box in the sunny window of a warm room. Sow 
thinly, and when young plants show two or three leaves, 
transplant to stand three inches apart each way; or, if 
growing indoors, set them in small (lower-pots. Kept 
constantly warm and moist, thev will make fine lar^e plants by tlie time the weather is warm 
enough to set them outdoors, which should not be done until the trees are in full leaf. Four ounces 
of seed will produce sufficient plants for an acre. Set plants in rich soil two feet apart each way. 
Hoe frequently to keep soil loose and fine.

the plant, very upright, branching, producing the egg far above the

the ground as most all other sorts do. Very free from coarse 
spines. The plants are strong and stand unfavorable weather 
conditions remarkably well. The fruits are of uniform dark 
purple color and for slicing can't be beaten. There is no 
waste, the fruit being tender and of fine quality through- 
out, and the plants arc prolific in bearing, hard to equal
