SELECTED EGG PLANT 
CULTURE. Sow in hot beds very early in the spring; 
thin them out as soon as big enough to be handled to 
three or four inches each way, and later transplant to two 
to three feet apart, in very rich, warm ground. Do not 
plant them outside until nights are real warm, as the 
least frost will, if it does not kill them, check their 
growth, and it will take two to three weeks before they 
get over it. One ounce to 1,500 plants. One-half pound 
seed per acre. 
BLACK BEAUTY. The 
earliest large fruited va¬ 
riety. The fruits set free¬

black. The calyx is entire¬ 
ly free from spines or 
thorns. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 50c.

delicate. One ounce will sow 400 feet of row.
