CORN (Continued) 
Howling Mob. The description of Early Giant would 
fit this variety and it has become popular among 
the market gardeners in the east. Our stock is 
Ohio grown and dependable. 
Black Mexican. Old timers appreciate this wonder¬ 
fully sweet corn. Many people think that because 
the kernels are blue they are poisonous and miss a 
real treat. Stalks are short, permitting close plant¬ 
ing; medium early. 
Country Gentlemen. Also called Shoe Peg. A late 
sort, very sweet; kernels deep and thin and grow 
irregularly on the cob.. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. The standard late sort. Large 
ears; deep grains; fairly sweet; largely used for 
canning and drying.

CUCUMBER— (Gurke) 
The chief difficulty with raising cucumbers is the striped beetle and these may be conquered by 
early planting in sods or berry boxes end of April, to be set out beginning of June and then dusting the 
vines with Slug Shot after every rain. Plant out doors end of June for pickles.

EGG PLANT —(Eier Pflanze) 
Potato bugs are just as bad on Egg Plants as they are on potatoes, so be ready with Arsenate of 
Lead or Slug Shot when they appear. The seed will not grow well under about 80 deg. temperature, 
so get potted plants end of May, if you want only a few and set them out two feet apart.

ENDIVE—( Endivien )—Escarolle 
The slightly bitter taste of this excellent salad plant is an agreeable change from lettuce and is at 
its best when lettuce is past its prime. Endive is handled much like lettuce, taking longer to grow, but 
requires blanching, which is done when the plants are large enough, by gathering the outside leaves to¬ 
gether and tying them with raffia, not at the ends but about half way up, a few at a time, allowing three 
weeks to blanch, when they must be used or they will decay. As frost comes the plants can be lifted, 
soil and all and stored in baskets in a cool place where they will keep for a month. 
White Curled. Light green, almost white. 
Green Curled. Nicely curled, dark green. 
Green Broad Leaf Batavian. Leaves broad and smooth 
White Broad Leaf Batavian. Bleaches very easily. 
French Endive (Witloof Chicory).
