PLANT LANDRETHS’ “SEEDS WHICH SUCCEED” 
EGG PLANT—Continued 
New York Purple—130 Days. This is 
probably the oldest and best known 
variety on the market today. It is early 
and produces four to six very large fruit 
of excellent quality. The fruit is better 
if grown on a sandy loam and should 
be planted accordingly if possible. 
Pkt. 6c oz. 35c I lb. $1.20 lb. $4.00 
Florida High Bush—130 Days. We 
cannot recommend this variety nearly 
as highly as we do the Landreths’ Large 
Round Purple, or Black Beauty, although 
it is very popular in some sections. The 
fruit is not as large nor as round as the 
New York Improved. Vines 26 to 32 
inches, more vigorous, and a continuous 
bearer. Pkt. 5c oz. 35c J lb. $1.20 lb. $4.00 
Manatee Special—115 Days. A 
distinct Florida development evidently 
a cross between a Florida High Bush 
and Black Beauty. The fruit is shorter 
and thicker than the High Bush. Beau¬ 
tiful rich black color. Withstands heat 
and drought better than other varieties.

Landreths’ Large Round Purple Egg Plant 
ENDIVE 
Native of China and Japan.] Sow Two Ounces of Seed for 100 Yards of Row. Plant Three Pounds 
to the Acre. Seed breaks ground in 6 days. One inch high in 10 days under most favorable 
circumstances in greenhouse. Sow in the Spring as soon as the earth is free from frost and replant to 
within 60 days of Autumn frost. Drill in rows 2 feet apart, and thin the plants to 8 inches. Tie up the 
loose leaves or cover with a pot to blanch the salad. This is one of the most palatable Vegetables which 
can be used as a salad as well as a garnish to table vegetables. Endive, when grown properly and bleached 
with care, will produce one of the best salads that can be grown. Few people appreciate its value until they 
have eaten properly bleached Endive grown by a gardener who knows his business. 
Endive can be eaten uncooked in salad forms or boiled like Spinach; a distinct flavor and very palatable 
when bleached. It is of rapid growth, highly esteemed and may be sown, except in Winter, at all seasons 
of the year. The plants are of rosette shape and can be tied up and bleached pure white like Celery. Es¬ 
pecially desirable as a Winter salad. Grown largely by Market Gardeners. 
Broad-Leaved Batavian or Escarolle—90 Days. 
Foliage broad and flat, 16 inches in diameter—deep 
green leaves with thick midrib. Leaves are exceed¬ 
ingly palatable when well bleached. Stands dry 
weather better than any other sort of Endive. We 
believe that this variety is unsurpassed for salad 
when it is bleached by an experienced gardener.

Giant Green Curled or Rufiick—86 Days. This 
variety is sometimes called Oyster, as in the Eastern 
States where Oysters on the shell are exhibited, it is 
frequently used as a garnish to display them. This 
is a hardy growing variety, 16 to 18 inches in 
diameter, with deep green leaves. When tied up 
these plants of red footstalks bleach white very 
quickly. It is a great favorite with those who 
desire a curly Endive. See photo.

qualities for market gardener.

bleach. Used extensively for a decoration as well 
as a salad. Pkt. 6c oz. 15c J lb. 36c lb. $1.10
