EGG PLANT 
Every garden should have a few Egg Plant plants. 
These are easily grown and bear a good crop with 
little attention. Egg Plants, sliced and fried, are de¬ 
licious and would be much more popular if better 
known. 
Black Beauty—Very early, the fruit being ready for 
market two weeks before any other variety. Color very 
fine, being a purplish black. A good variety for a-main 
crop for market. Per pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 40c; per oz. 70c; 
2 ozs. $1.15; Yt, lb. $2.00; per lb. $7.00. 
ENDIVE 
Endive is one of the best and most wholesome salads 
for fall and winter use. Sow in shallow drills in April 
for early use or for late use in June or July. When 2 
or 3 inches high, transplant into good ground or thin 
out to 1 foot apart. When nearly full grown, and before 
they are fit for the table, they must be bleached. This 
is done by gathering the leaves together and tying with 
yarn or bass to exclude the light and air from the inner 
leaves, which must be done when quite dry, or they will 
rot. 
Green Curled—Leaves finely cut or lacinated. 
Pe r pkt. 5c; oz. 15c: V 4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.25 
White Curled—Does not need blanching, the midribs 
being naturally of a pale golden-yellow, and the finely 
cut and curled leaves almost white 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; lb. 40c; lb. $1.50 
Batavian—Large heads of broad, thick leaves, which 
can be blanched as a salad or make excellent cooked 
greens. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c, lb. $1.50 
GARLIC 
The Garlic is the most pungent of all the onion 
family. It is much used in the south of Europe. The 
root or bulb is composed of many small bulbs called 
"cloves,” which are planted in the spring 6 to 8 inches 
apart, and in August the bulbs are ready to gather. 
Bulbs, lb. 25c, postpaid. Write for price in quantity. 
HORSERADISH 
Sets planted in May, small end down, with the top 
one inch below the surface, in rich, well-cultivated 
soil, will form radish of large size in one season's 
growth. Of the common variety, we offer small roots, 
8 for 20c; 25c per dozen, or 90c per 100, postpaid. 
By express or freight, per 100, 75c. Write for price in 
quantity. 
KALE or BORECOLE 
This is extensively grown, especially in the South 
during the fall, winter and spring. The leaves are 
used principally for greens. A favorite way is to cook 
them with bacon. The leaves are also used for gar¬ 
nishing. 
Where climate permits seed may be sown any time 
from August to October, broadcast or preferably in 
drills eighteen inches apart so that the plants when 
small may be cultivated. The quality is improved 
rather than injured by frosts if not too heavy. Farther 
north sow in April or May in rich light soil in rows 
two to three feet apart and where plants of the 
largest size are desired thin to two feet apart in row. 
It is better not to cut or handle the plants while 
frozen, but if this is unavoidable, thaw them out in 
cold water. The young shoots which start up in the 
spring from the old stumps are very tender and make 
excellent greens. 
Tall Green Curled Scotch Kale—The plant of this 
variety grows to three or four feet high, bearing long 
plume-like, light green leaves which are deeply cut, 
also finely curled at edges. Very ornamental and so 
hardy that a moderately heavy frost improves rather 
than injures its quality. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 2 oz. 25c; ^4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.25 
Dwarf German or German Greens (Dwarf Curled 
Scotch)—Leaves are curly, bright green, very tender 
and delicate in flavor. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; *4 lb. 60c; lb. $1.75, postpaid 
MARROW CABBAGE 
(Chou moellier) 
WHITE STEMMED MARROW CABBAGE 
Marrow Cabbage is a valuable dairy and poultry 
food, very similar to Thousand Headed Kale, but even 
more prolific. The plants average four to six feet in 
height, with stalks five to six inches in diameter and 
weight fourteen to twenty pounds. The stalks are 
edible and relished by cows. The lower leaves are 
broken off and fed as they mature. 
The plant is not so hardy as Thousand Headed Kale, 
but is most valuable for green feed in fall and early 
winter. The culture is the same as for Kale and 
Cabbage. One pound of seed will produce plants for 
one acre. Pkt. 5c; oz. I5c; lb. $1.50, postage extra 
Every one with Poultry should have a patch of Kale 
or Marrow Cabbage
