EGGPLANT 
The eggplant is a warm climate vegetable but can be raised wherever corn and tomatoes do well. 
It requires loose, fertile soil and, will not thrive in clay. Sow in hotbed or flats and transplant with 
the least possible disturbance of the roots, when 3" high, setting the plants 2^-3 ft. apart in rows 
3-4 ft. apart. Allow one ounce for 1,500 plants. 
Black Beauty: 80 days from transplanting. Plant 24" to 30" with 4-5 large, purplish black fruits, 
2-3 lb., which hold their color and quality well after picking. 
Florida High Bush: 85 days. Upstanding and vigorous. Long, dark purple fruits. Highly resistant 
to drought and blight. 
New Hampshire Hybrid: 70 days. All-America Silver Medal for 1939. A new, early, productive 
variety with pear-shaped or oval fruits. For areas of short season. 
New York Improved Spineless: 83 days. Fruits a little later and larger than Black Beauty. 
ENDIVE 
The conditions for growth of endive and lettuce 
are much the same and, as with all salad crops, 
rapid growth is necessary for crisp tender leaves. 
The rows should be 18" apart and plants thinned 
out to about 8". Allow one ounce to 150 ft. 
of row. 
* Florida Deep Heart: 90 days. The inside 
leaves, curly, crisp and tender, blanch to a 
creamy white. A piquant addition to salads or 
soups. Shown at right. 
Green Curled Ruffec: 95 days. A large late very 
curly sort with heavy, tender, white midribs. 
Also known as Moss Curled. 
White Curled: 100 days. Smaller plants with 
well-curled leaves of fine flavor. 
KOHL RABI 
A member of the cabbage family and cultivated 
similarly. The edible part is the bulb which 
grows above ground; something like a turnip but 
much more tender and sweet, eaten when 2”- 
diameter. Remove the outer skin before 
boiling. Begin planting early and sow every 2 
weeks until hot weather. 
Early White Vienna: 55 days. Light green bulbs 
with white flesh. A favorite home and market 
garden sort—especially for forcing in the hotbed.
