Johnson’s Northmount Egg; Plant 
This fine new variety is the result of selection of the very earliest and finest fruits of the celebrated 
“Black Beauty.” It is, beyond question, the earliest and hardiest of all Large Smooth Purple Egg 
Plants. While the fruits are not always quite as large as Black Beauty, it ripens fully ten days earlier 
and is suited to more northern climates. 
The plants branch freely near the ground and grow in well-rounded bushes. The fruits are thick, 
of most attractive shape, and in color a lustrous purplish black. This coloring is uniform over the whole 
fruit, and does not fade at the blossom end, as do so many of the older varieties. 
Prices, per pkt., 20c.; 4 pkts., 60c.; '/Z oz., 75c.; oz., $1.25; % lb., $4.00.
