Berengena ©ier^flange Aubergine 
Sow seed in frames 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 - enriched 
soil about 3 feet apart each way. Draw the earth up to 
the stems when about a foot high. Eggplant seed will 
not vegetate 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.
