Eggplant 
One ounce will produce about 1,000 plants. 
Seed should be sown in hotbed in February and 
March, and the plants thinned out to 2 to 3 inches 
apart when they have reached a height of 1 to 2 inches. 
Set out in rich soil when the weather is warm and 
settled, 2 feet apart each way. Seed resembles that of 
the pepper, but smaller. 
New York Improved Purple. One of the most popular 
of the Eggplants because of its great productivity. 
It is not unusual for a single plant to bear 6 to 8 
fruits of excellent quality. The fruits are large, nearly 
round, dark purple, and free from thorns. The home 
or market gardener cannot do better than plant this 
variety. 
Kohl-rabi 
One ounce will sow about 200 feet of drill. 
A delicious vegetable that combines the good qual¬ 
ities of the turnip and the cabbage, but is superior to 
both in nutritive and productive qualities. Seed resem¬ 
bles that of turnips and cabbage. Sow in spring in rows 
18 inches apart and thin the plants to stand 8 inches 
apart in the row. Plant in late July for fall use. 
Early White Vienna. An early sort that grows rapidly. 
The foliage is small and the bulbs round and white, 
with fine grained white flesh that is remarkably ten¬ 
der. This tasty vegetable will have a place in every 
garden when better known, for few others equal it 
in delicacy of flavor. 
New York Improved Purple Eggplant. 
Kale or Borecole 
One ounce will produce about 300 plants. 
A popular boiling green resembling cabbage in flavor. 
The plants are hardy in well drained soil. Seed resem¬ 
bles that of turnips and cabbage. Sow seed in May in 
shallow drills 10 to 12 inches apart, and, when large 
enough, transplant singly in rows 2 to 3 feet apart, and 
2 feet apart in the rows. The flavor of the leaves is 
considered to be greatly improved by the frost. 
Tall Green Curled Scotch. The stalks average about 
3 feet in height, with long, plumelike leaves that are 
deeply fringed and finely curled at the edges. Quality 
is especially good. 
Dwarf Green Curled Scotch. A low-growing, compact 
variety, with tender, deep green, finely curled and 
crimped leaves. The plants seldom grow higher than 
one foot, but reach a diameter of two feet if well cul¬ 
tivated. Two weeks later than the Tall Green Curled 
Scotch, but remains in good condition longer before 
going to seed. 
Dwarf Siberian or Sprouts. A very hardy sort, with 
large, broad leaves. Seed resembles that of turnips. 
Sown in September and treated like spinach, can be 
cut in the spring. 
Leek 
One ounce will sow about 100 feet of drill. 
The Leek is superior to the onion in flavor and is 
much used in seasoning soups and boiling with meats. 
Seed resembles that of onion in shape and color but is 
slightly smaller. Sow seed very early in a sheltered 
place, and when 6 inches high transplant to trenches 6 
inches deep, putting very rich soil at the bottom. Fill 
in the trenches as the plants grow, and later draw the 
soil up to them. This will produce fine, large Leeks, 
blanched for 6 inches or more, and which may be kept 
all winter if dug with the roots and stored in moist sand 
in the cellar. 
London Flag (Large American). The most largely cul¬ 
tivated variety. It is a strong grower, very hardy and 
productive, with large, thick stems.
