Endive is used for salads, especially in autumn and winter. It is easily 
grown and takes little space in the garden. Seed can be sown any time 
from early spring until August 1st in the Northern states. For fall and 
winter use the seeds should not be sown until about July 1st. Sow in rows 
18 to 24 inches apart and thin the plants to a foot apart. To blanch, draw 
the outer leaves over the center and tie them. This should be done when 
the plants are nearly full grown. It is best to tie up a few at a time as 
wanted for use.

blanch to a creamy white in the center. This is the most popular variety.

Black Beauty Egg Plant 
Eierpflanze (Ger.) 
EGG PLANT 
Meianzani (It.) 
A packet of seed will produce about 50 plants; an ounce about 2000 plants. 
This is a delicious vegetable which should be in every garden. It is also a profitable crop to grow for 
market. In sowing Egg Plant seed, care should be taken not to cover it more than Vi in- deep, and to keep 
the temperature from 70 to 90 degrees. The young plants are often injured by bugs, to prevent which it is 
a good plan to spray with arsenate of lead and lime even before the plants are set in the open ground. Plant 
in rows 3 feet apart each way. The plants do best on rather light rich soil. In the North the seed should 
be sown in March and the plants set out the last of May. 
BLACK BEAUTY. This is a very handsome, 
early and prolific variety. The fruit is as large 
as New York Improved, matuies earlier, and 
is of a deeper and richer color. The plants are 
of robust growth and are very prolific. Being 
earlier than the New York Improved, much 
larger crops are produced before frost in the 
North. This is the kind grown most extensively 
by market gardeners and is the finest stock we 
have ever seen.

valuable for northern latitudes where the 
seasons are short. A fine variety for the home 
garden where fruit of medium size is wanted.
