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. 
This fruit is one of the finest for the garden on the market. Plants are a little difficult to raise, owing 
to the fact that the seed germinates slowly. 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 six to seven 
inches in diameter. 
About 5000 plants are required to set an acre. The plants will produce an average of 4 to 5 fruit— 
sometimes 10—weighing 5 to 6 pounds. Our selection of seed is taken from the best fruit that can be grown 
and we have no hesitancy in recommending our seed as unsurpassed.
