Eggplant, Unlike Many Other Crops, Has a Long Productive Period in the South 
EGGPLANT 
Sow ^4 t° V'2 pound of seed in seed-bed to plant an acre 
Culture. For the fall crop, plant in June, July, and August, in muslin 
or burlap-covered seed-beds. When set in the open, the plants may need 
some protection from the sun. Many growers use palmetto fans, stuck 
slanting on the south side of the hill, which will keep the sun from striking 
the newly set out plants with full force. Have rows 6 feet apart and 3 feet 
between the plants. Use from 1200 pounds to a ton of high-grade fertilizer 
per acre. It is an excellent plan to spray with pyrox every 10 days from the 
time the plants have four or five leaves, as there is no plant more subject to 
blight and insect attack. Pyrox controls fungous diseases and also kills 
worms. It is also advisable to dust eggplants regularly with sulphur or, 
better, to spray with Sulfocide, which controls red spider, a serious pest 
of eggplant. It is desirable to treat eggplant seed with a good disinfectant 
before planting.

of fancies. The plants are very resistant to blight and other diseases. The 
plants are of the high-bush type, producing a very tall, vigorous growth, 
bearing the fruit well off the ground. The fruits are long, cylindrical in 
shape, never producing a necky stem end, and they possess an intense deep
