DANDELION. 
Amargon — Kuhblume — Pissenlit. 
This vegetable has become very popular as an early healthful green, and the roots also are used when 
dried as a substitute for coffee. Its use in either of these forms is particularly recommended to those 
who are inclined to any disease of the liver. Sow in drills 1 foot apart, covering the seed inch 
deep. A rich soil is preferable, but this plant will thrive any¬ 
where.

EGG PLANT. 
Berengena— Eierpflanze — Aubergine. 
Sow seed in a frame if possible. When 3 inches high transplant 
into small pots, so that the plants may become stocky, and be 
readily planted out from the pots. When the season becomes 
sufficiently warm, transplant into thoroughly-worked and well-en¬ 
riched soil about three feet apart each way. Draw the earth up to 
the stems, when about a foot high. Egg plant seed will not vege¬ 
tate freely without substantial heat, and if the plants get the least 
chilled in the earlier stages of their growth they seldom recover. 
Repeated sowings are sometimes necessary. One ounce of seed 
will produce 2,000 plants.
