IMPROVED NEW YORK SPINELESS EGG PLANT. The New York 
Improved Egg Plant has been the standard variety for years, but this 
selection is vastly superior in every respect. The habit of the plant is low 
and branching, and is quite free from spines, both on the plant and calyx 
of the fruit, which are of the largest size and perfect form ; eight to ten
