SELECTED EGG PLANT 
LETTUCE 
CULTURE. Sow in hot beds very early in the spring; 
thin them out as soon as big enough to be handled to 
three or four inches each way, and later transplant to two 
to three feet apart, in very rich, warm ground. Do not 
plant them outside until nights are real warm, as the 
least frost will, if it does not kill them, check their 
growth, and it will take two to three weeks before they 
get over it. One ounce to 1,500 plants. One-half pound 
seed per acre. 
BLACK BEAUTY. The 
earliest large fruited va¬ 
riety. The fruits set free¬ 
ly and develop quickly so 
the entire crop can be har¬ 
vested before frost. They 
are large, thick, and of a 
rich, lustrous, purplish 
black. The calyx is entire¬ 
ly free from spines ox- 
thorns. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 50c.

ENDIVE 
CULTURE. Same as for lettuce. Seed may be sown 
any time during the year. When plants are well started, 
thin out to 10 inches apart, or they may be transplanted 
when plants have reached a good size; gather the leaves 
closely together and tie loosely in an upright bunch. This 
blanches the inner leaves in about 10 days and adds to 
the crispness as a salad, as it renders the flavor mild and 
delicate. One ounce will sow 400 feet of row.
