Egg Plant 
EGG PLANT 
A rich, sandy, warm soil produces the best plants and yields the highest number 
of fruits. Seed should be started in a hotbed, or indoors in boxes or shallow 
pans, 8 to 9 weeks before the time to set the plants in the open ground. When 
seedlings are about 3 in. high, plant singly into small pots, setting the plants 
in the open when all danger of frost is past and the soil has become thor¬ 
oughly warm. One pkt. of seed will produce about 100 plants; 1 oz. 2000 
plants; 4 ozs. will produce enough plants for one acre. Days until first 
edible fruits are ready are from field setting of plants. Treat seed with 
Cuprocide; protect plants with Slug Shot dust.
