BLACK BEAUTY EGG PLANT 
EGG PLANT 
CULTURE. Sow in hotbed in March and April, and when 
two inches high transplant to pots or boxes to develop 
growth. About June 1st plant in field or garden 2 y 2 to 3 
feet apart each way and cultivate same as cabbage or 
tomato. Protect young plants from sun as much as pos¬ 
sible, also from potato bugs. One-fourth pound of seed 
will produce plants for one acre. 
New York Spineless* 
The standard for the garden. The plants are stocky and 
low branching and produce extra large dark purple fruit 
of perfect shape. Is the handsomest type and most per¬ 
fect strain of Egg Plants, usually bearing eight to ten 
large fruits of the finest quality, during a season. 
Black Beauty* 
Slightly earlier than the N. Y. Spineless but not so large. 
The skin is of a rich dark purple color, and very desirable 
for market as the skin holds its color for a long time. 
GARLIC 
CULTURE. Prepare the ground as for Onions; separate 
the sets and plant them eight inches apart and four to 
six inches apart in the drill, covering two inches deep. 
When the leaves turn yellow, pull up bulbs. Dry in the 
shade. Prices: lb., 30c; 10 lbs. or more at 25c per lb. If 
wanted by parcel post add postage to cover mailing cost. 
KALE 
CULTURE. Sow in May or June and cultivate the same 
as cabbage. Makes excellent greens and is improved by 
light frosts. More hardy than cabbage. 
Dwarf Curled* 
A very finely curled dwarf spreading variety. Foliage 
is long and bright green. Is even more hardy than 
cabbage. Produces excellent greens for winter and spring. 
Tall Curled* 
This variety grows to a height of two to three feet, 
bearing long plume-like leaves of a light green color. 
Is rather improved than injured by fairly heavy frosts. 
KOHL-RABI 
CULTURE. Sow in drills 15 inches apart, Y 2 to % inch 
deep. When a few inches high thin to 6 to 8 inches apart 
in the row and cultivate same as beet. Bulbs grow above 
ground. Roots should be prepared like turnips or cauli¬ 
flower for cooking. Are much sweeter than turnips. 
Early White* 
Very early, producing small white bulbs. Used especi¬ 
ally for forcing. One of the best for table use. 
Early Purple 
The bulbs are purple on surface; the flesh light green. 
A few days later than the White but a little larger and 
more heat resistant. 
LEEK 
CULTURE. Sow about May 1st in drills 12 inches apart 
from % to 1 inch deep. When 6 inches high transplant 
to rows 15 inches apart and 5 inches apart in row, setting 
the plants in the ground up to their center leaves and 
drawing this ground up as they grow, causing them to 
bleach. This makes the leek more palatable. 
American Flag* 
A strong growing variety, producing large thick stems 
which have a sweet flavor. Leek is excellent for stews, 
soups, or creamed. 
LETTUCE 
CULTURE. Lettuce is the most popular of all salad 
plants and at the same time is one of the easiest to grow 
due to its comparative freedom from disease and insects. 
All types of lettuce will do very well on rich, loose, 
light loams or on any good garden soil, but should never 
be planted on heavy compact soil. Seed may be sown 
in the open from April 20th to August 1st, or planted in 
the house or in frames any time after March 10th. Rows 
to be 1% feet apart, plants four inches apart in row 
after thinning. One ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of 
row, 2 to 2 y 2 pounds required per acre.

Fertilizer 
for Lettuce 
Nitrate of Soda 
or Sulphate of 
Ammonia are es¬ 
pecially recommended 
for Leaf Lettuce, and 
for a first side dressing 
of Head Lettuce. For 
later applications, we 
recommend 3-15-12. 
LOOSE LEAVED VARIETIES 
Grand Rapids* 
The most popular variety to grow for market. When 
exposed for sale it retains its handsome fresh appear¬ 
ance longer than any other variety. Leaf is curly and 
of light green color and crimped at the edge. 
Black Seeded Simpson* 
One of the best and most popular varieties of Leaf Let¬ 
tuce. Color light yellowish green, its large leaves are 
thin, tender and sweet. One of the finest for home gar¬ 
den and a favorite market lettuce. Very heat resistant. 
Prize Head 
The name is rather deceiving, Prize Head being a crisp 
and tender, loose leaf sort with a reddish brown tint of 
fine quality. Of quick growth and sweet flavor, distinct 
from any other variety. One of the best for the home 
garden. 
Chicken Lettuce 
So called on account of the abundance of greens it fur¬ 
nishes for poultry feeding or for rabbits. Will come 
quickly again after cutting. Will send up stalks three 
to four feet long. Of little value for table use.
