Eggplant 
One ounce will produce about 1000 plants 
Seed should be sown in hotbed in February and 
March, and the plants thinned out to 2 to 3 inches 
apart when they have reached a height of 1 to 2 
inches. Set out in rich soil when the weather is 
warm and settled, 2 feet apart each way. Seed 
resembles that of the pepper, but smaller. 
BLACK BEAUTY. A desirable sort for truckers 
and gardeners because of its earliness. Not as large 
or prolific as New York Spineless but popular for its 
black color, which it holds well after picking. 
IMPROVED NEW YORK PURPLE (Spineless). 
One of the most popular of the Eggplants because 
of its great productivity. It is not unusual for a 
single plant to bear 6 to 8 fruits of excellent quality. 
The fruits are large, nearly round, dark purple, and 
meaty. The home- or market-gardener cannot do 
better than plant this variety. 
Kale or Borecole 
One ounce will produce about 300 plants 
A popular boiling green resembling cabbage in 
flavor. The plants are hardy in well-drained soil. 
Seed resembles that of turnips and cabbage. Sow 
seed in May in shallow drills 10 to 12 inches apart, 
and when large enough, transplant singly in rows 2 
to 3 feet apart, and 2 feet apart in the rows. The 
flavor of the leaves is considered to be greatly im¬ 
proved by the frost. 
TALL GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. The stalks 
average about 3 feet in height, with long, plumelike 
leaves that are deeply fringed and finely curled at 
the edges. Quality is especially good. 
DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. A low- 
growing, compact variety, with tender, deep green, 
finely curled and crimped leaves. Seldom grows 
higher than one foot, but reaches a diameter of two 
feet if well cultivated. Two weeks later than Tall 
Green Curled Scotch, but is in good condition longer. 
DWARF SIBERIAN or SPROUTS. A very hardy 
sort, with large, broad leaves. Seed resembles that 
of turnips. Sown in September and treated like 
spinach, can be cut in the spring. 
Kohlrabi 
One ounce will sow about 200 feet of drill 
A delicious vegetable that combines the good 
qualities of the turnip and the cabbage, but is 
superior to both in nutritive and productive qualities. 
Seed resembles that of turnips and cabbage. Sow in 
spring in rows 18 inches apart and thin the plants to 
stand 8 inches apart in the row. Plant in late July 
for fall use. 
EARLY WHITE VIENNA. An early sort that 
grows rapidly. The foliage is small and the bulbs 
round and white, with fine-grained white flesh that 
is remarkably tender. This tasty vegetable will have 
a place in every garden when better known, for few 
others equal it in delicacy of flavor. 
Leek 
One ounce will sow about 100 feet of drill 
The Leek is superior to the onion in flavor and is 
much used in seasoning soups and boiling with 
meats. Seed resembles that of onion in shape and 
color but is slightly smaller. Sow seed very early in 
a sheltered place, and when 6 inches high transplant 
to trenches 6 inches deep, putting very rich soil at 
the bottom. Fill in the trenches as the plants grow, 
and later draw the soil up to them. This will produce 
fine, large Leeks, blanched for 6 inches or more, 
which may be kept all winter if dug with the roots 
and stored in moist sand in the cellar. 
LONDON FLAG (Large American). The most 
largely cultivated variety. It is a strong grower, very 
hardy and productive, with large, thick stems.
