PLANT LANDRETHS’ “SEEDS WHICH SUCCEED” 
17 
EGG PLANT 
Egg Plant is a native of Africa; years ago in the Southern States called “Guinea Squash.” One 
Oz. of Seed Will Provide Enough Plants for One-Eighth of an Acre. Matures for Table in About 
125 Days After Sprouting. Seed breaks ground in 9 days. One inch high in 12 days under most 
favorable circumstances in greenhouse. In this fruit, we have one of the finest on the market for the 
garden. Plants are a little difficult to raise, owing to the fact that the seed germinates slowly and should 
always be started in a hotbed, or on a window ledge in the house. After the plants show two rough leaves 
they should be transplanted 3 to 4 inches apart to give them room to develop, so that after they have gotten 
sturdy they can be planted in the open garden. If the ground is rich with proper fertilizer, with care it will 
not be difficult to produce first-class fruit five to six inches in diameter. 
BLACK BEAUTY—125 Days. This variety is earlier than 
the Landreths’ Large Round Purple, but it is slightly smaller. 
Owing to the fact that the color is black, and it does not lose 
its color it is very popular. Do not confuse the Black Beauty 
with the old Black Pekin as it is twice as large. Height of vine 
28 to 34 in. Pkt. 5c oz. 35c 34 lb. $1.20 lb. $4.00 
LANDRETHS’ LARGE ROUND PURPLE—130 Days. 
This selection is decidedly the best type of Egg Plant that we 
have been able to secure after many years of selection. It is 
productive and vigorous, the fruit often reaching a weight of 
10 to 12 pounds. Fruit may be described as chunky, broad at 
the bottom, and flattened—diameter nearly equal to the 
length. Color when grown on soil of proper quality a deep 
purple, often appearing almost black, although not as black as 
the Black Beauty. The soil has much to do with the depth of 
color. Single bushes of this variety on good soil often reach a 
diameter of three feet, and produce 8 to 10 large fruit.

NEW YORK PURPLE—130 Days. This is probably the 
oldest variety on the market today. It is early and produces 
four to six large fruit of excellent quality. The fruit is better 
if grown on a sandy loam and should be planted accordingly if 
possible. Pkt. 5c oz. 35c 34 lb. $1.29 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 34 lb- $1*20 lb. $4.00 
MANATEE SPECIAL—115 Days. A distinct Florida de¬ 
velopment evidently a cross between a Florida High Bush and 
Landreths’ Large Round Purple Egg Plant 
Black Beauty. The fruit is shorter and thicker than the High 
Bush. Beautiful rich black color. Withstands heat and 
drought better than other varieties. _

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. 
Giant Green Curled or Rufflck Endive 
BROAD-LEAVED BATAVIAN OR ESCAROLLE—99 Days. 
Foliage broad and flat, 16 inches in diameter—deep green 
leaves with thick midrib. Leaves are exceedingly palatable 
when well bleached. Stands dry weather better than any 
other sort of Endive. We believe that this variety is un¬ 
surpassed for salad when it is bleached by an experienced 
gardener. Pkt. 5c oz. 15c >4 lb. 30c lb. $1.00 
GIANT GREEN CURLED OR RUFFICK—85 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.

WHITE CURLED—96 Days. A variety of white or light- 
colored leaves. Distinct. More delicate and smaller in form

tion as well as a salad. Pkt. 5c oz. 15c 34 lb. 35c lb. $1.10
