New Hampshire Hybrid 
Early and Prolific 
A 1938 All American Selection 
Originated by Prof. J. R. Hepler at the New 
Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station. 
We think New Hampshire Hybrid should 
be called “Northern Beauty,” as it is an early 
Black Beauty for northern growers. 
This new variety will be of great benefit 
to growers who have had difficulty in produc¬ 
ing egg plants profitably in the North. 
It is earlier than Black Beauty, grows 
fine dark colored fruit plenty large enough for 
our markets and is remarkably prolific. On our 
farm this year it produced 8 to 10 good size 
fruits and several smaller ones on a single 
plant. Try some this year. See prices below. 
New Hampshire Hybrid 
A typical plant with the leaves cut away to show 
the abundance of fruit. 
BLACK BEAUTY. True Stock. 
We can strongly recommend this stock as it is the finest strain of Black Beauty that we 
have ever seen. The plants are strong and sturdy, producing an abundance of uniformly 
large handsome dark purple fruit even here in the North. 
EARLY LONG PURPLE. Early and Prolific. Dark. True Stock. 
Fruit 10 to 12 in. long, not over 2 to 3 in. through. Early and very prolific, deep purple. 
Extra Early Dwarf Purple or Black King.*.. 
Very early, dark and prolific, but not as large as above kinds.
