IMPROVED NEW YORK PURPLE EGG PLANT 
EGG PLANT— Fr. aubergine 
CULTURE — Sow the seeds of Egg-Plant in hotbeds early in March. When 
3 inches high pot the young plants, using 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. Egg-plant seed 
reguires a higher temperature for germmation than other garden vegetables, and 
this temperature should be maintained right along in order to maintain strong and 
healthy growth. The soil can hardly be made too rich. After settled warm 
weather has set in, set the plants in open ground, allowing 3 feet space between 
the rows, and 2 feet space between the plants in the row. Watch for the potato 
beetle. This pest, as well as blight, may be controlled by spraying with Bordeaux 
Arsenate of Lead Mixture.
