EGG PLANT and ENDIVE 
Hints on Cultivation of Eggplant —Eggplant seed requires a higher temperature for 
germination than any other vegetable and this temperature should be maintained right 
along in order to maintain strong and healthy growth. Sow the seed in hotbeds early in 
March. When 3 inches high, pot the young plants, using small pots and plunge them in 
the same bed so that the plants may become stocky. They can be planted out from the 
pots when the season becomes sufficiently warm in May or June. The soil can hardly be 
made too rich. Set the plants in open ground, allowing 3 feet between the rows and 2 feet 
between the plants in the row. Watch for the Potato beetle. This pest, as well as blight, 
may be controlled by 
spraying with Bor¬ 
deaux Arsenate of Lead 
Mixture or by dusting 
the plants with Slug 
Shot.
