EGG PLANT. 
German, (Sierjrucfjt. French, Aubergine . 
The Egg Plant is extremely tender and requires 
starting in a hot-bed quite early in order to have the 
fruit mature before frost. The fruit is served in 
various ways, but the most common is to cut in slices, 
soak for an hour in salt water, and then fry in butter. 
It is yearly more generally cultivated. Sow early in 
hot-bed, or in a box in the house ; when the plants are 
three or four inches high, transplant to two feet apart 
in very rich, warm, dry soil, Pkt. Cts.
