MAMMOTH. A hardy annual seasoning plant. The 
aromatic seeds are used for flavoring. Sow in 
spring, in drills IV 2 feet apart, covering lightly, 
and thin out to 9 inches apart. Cultivate carefully 
and harvest when the seed is fully matured. 
EGGPLANT 
CULTURE—Sow indoors early in March or April 
and transplant into small pots; set out in the middle 
of June in rows 3 feet apart each way, keep well cul¬ 
tivated and fertilize occasionally. One ounce will pro¬ 
duce about 1,000 plants. 
GREEN CURLED. This variety is sometimes called 
Oyster as in the Eastern states where Oysters on 
the shell are exhibited, it is frequently used as a 
garnish to display them. This is a hardy growing 
variety, 16 to 18 inches in diameter, with deep 
green leaves. When tied up these plants of red foot¬ 
stalks bleach white very quickly. It is a great 
favorite with those who desire a curly'Endive. See 
photo. 
NEW YORK IMPROVED. Large purple. Best crop¬ 
per of all; fruit of good size and shape, solid and of 
excellent quality; a little later than other. 
BLACK BEAUTY. This is the earliest and best of all 
the large-fruited Eggplants, 10 days earlier than 
New York Improved Spineless. The bushes are well 
rounded, sturdy, branching freely near the ground. 
The large fruits are thick, heavy at the base and 
reducing toward the stem, of a dark purplish black 
color. Use this for your main planting. 
EARLY LONG PURPLE. This is one of the earliest 
maturing varieties and is quite hardy. It is very 
prolific, with club-shaped, dark purple fruits meas¬ 
uring 6 to 8 inches long and 2 to 3 inches in 
diameter. 
Black Beauty Eggplant 
Green Curled Endive 
ENDIVE 
CULTURE—Sow in open ground in May about 1 
inch deep; thin out to 1 foot, in rows 2 feet apart:* 
After plants are fully grown, tie up to blanch, which 
should be done when plants are dry so as to prevent 
rot, for any dew or dampness will injure foliage. One 
ounce will plant about 250 feet of drill. 
WHITE CURLED. A variety of white or light-colored 
leaves. Distinct. More delicate and smaller in form 
than the large green curled. Less astringent than 
the green and is slightly easier to bleach. Used ex¬ 
tensively for a decoration as well as a salad. 
BROAD-LEAVED BATAVIAN or ESCAROLLE. 
Foliage broad and flat, 16 inches i ndiameter—deep 
green leaves with thick midrib, that is exceedingly 
palatable when well bleached. Stands dry weather 
better than any other sort of Endive. We believe 
that this variety is unsurpassed for salad when it 
is bleached by an experienced gardener. 
FENNEL 
One ounce will sow 75 feet of drill 
FLORENCE. This variety produces numerous leaf¬ 
stalks crowded at the base, thereby forming a bulb¬ 
like vegetable above the ground-level. These are 
cut before the plant comes into flower and served 
as a salad or boiled before eating. Sow early in 
spring, later for succession.
