Eggplant 
One ounce will produce about 1,000 plants. 
Seed should be sown in hotbed in February and 
March, and the plants thinned out to 2 to 3 inches 
apart when they have reached a height of 1 to 2 inches. 
Set out in rich soil when the weather is warm and 
settled, 2 feet apart each way. Seed resembles that of 
the pepper, but smaller. 
New York Improved Purple. One of the most popu' 
lar of the Eggplants because of its great productivity. 
It is not unusual for a single plant to bear 6 to 8 
fruits of excellent quality. The fruits are large, nearly 
round, dark purple, and free from thorns. The 
home or market gardener cannot do better than 
plant this variety. 
New York Improved Purple Eggplant. 
Kale or Borecole 
One ounce will produce about 300 plants. 
A popular boiling green resembling cabbage in flavor. 
The plants are hardy in well drained soil. Seed re' 
sembles that of turnips and cabbage. Sow seed in May 
in shallow drills 10 to 12 inches apart, and, when large 
enough, transplant singly in rows 2 to 3 feet apart, and 
2 feet apart in the rows. The flavor of the leaves is 
considered to be greatly improved by the frost. 
Tall Green Curled Scotch. The stalks average about 
3 feet in height, with long, plumelike leaves that are 
deeply fringed and finely curled at the edges. Quah 
ity is especially good. 
Dwarf Green Curled Scotch. A low'growing, com' 
pact variety, with tender, deep green, finely curled 
and crimped leaves. The plants seldom grow higher 
than one foot, but reach a diameter of two feet if 
well cultivated. Two weeks later than the Tall Green 
Curled Scotch, but remains in good condition longer 
before going to seed. 
Dwarf Siberian or Sprouts. A very hardy sort, with 
large, broad leaves. Seed resembles that of turnips. 
Sown in September and treated like spinach, can be 
cut in the spring. _ 
Kohl-rabi 
One ounce will sow about 200 feet of drill. 
A delicious vegetable that combines the good qual' 
ities of the turnip and the cabbage, but is superior to 
both in nutritive and productive qualities. Seed re- 
sembles that of turnips and cabbage. Sow in spring in 
rows 18 inches apart and thin the plants to stand 8 
inches apart in the row. Plant in late July for fall use. 
Early White Vienna. An early sort that grows rapidly. 
The foliage is small and the bulbs round and white, 
with fine grained white flesh that is remarkably ten- 
der. This tasty vegetable will have a place in every 
garden when better known, for few others equal it 
in delicacy of flavor. 
Leek 
One ounce will sow about 100 feet of drill. 
The Leek is superior to the onion in flavor and is 
much used in seasoning soups and boiling with meats. 
Seed resembles that of onion in shape and color but is 
slightly smaller. Sow seed very early in a sheltered 
place, and when 6 inches high transplant to trenches 6 
inches deep, putting very rich soil at the bottom. Fill 
in the trenches as the plants grow, and later draw the 
soil up to them. This will produce fine, large Leeks, 
blanched for 6 inches or more, and which may be kept 
all winter if dug with the roots and stored in moist 
sand in the cellar. 
London Flag (Large American). The most largely 
cultivated variety. It is a strong grower, very hardy 
and productive, with large, thick stems.
