Improved s New York Spineless Egg Plant 
Our superior stock of this popular variety produces a 
large crop of shapely, purple fruits of liberal size and 
perfect quality. 
The plant is of low growth with a vigorous branching 
habit, strong enough to support its massive fruits and 
compact enough to economize space. It is very prolific, 
the plants usually bearing S to 10 immense fruits of 
superb quality before being killed by frost. Such fruits 
as are large enough may be picked and stored in a warm, 
dry place at the approach of frosty nights, and they will 
keep in good condition for some time. (See engraving.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., $1.00 oz., $3.50 lb.

Green Curled Endive 
THE “CHIGOR^E FRISEE” OF THE FRENCH 
An excellent salad plant, available long after the 
season for Lettuce, and more easily grown. The flavor 
is pleasantly bitter, stimulating and zest-giving. Is 
used also Ixnled as greens. 
Green Curled is the best for general use, and is easily 
blanched by covering the full-grown plants with boards 
or pieces of slate. After severe frost the plants may be 
removed and planted closely in a cellar for winter use. 
The seed should be sown in rows about 2 feet apart and 
Vi inch deep in the drill. When sufficiently grown, thin 
the plants out to 8 inches apart and cultivate thoroughly 
while growing. A very early crop may be grown by 
starting the seed in hotbed, greenhouse, or window box. 
Good results come from early spring sowing, and even 
better, wdieu treated as a fall crop. Successional sow-
