Eggplant, New York Improved 
CUCUMBER 
ENGLISH FRAME VARIETIES 
These are grown chiefly by private gardeners. 
They attain a length of from 12 to 30 inches 
and are of fine quality.

EGGPLANT 
Sow the seeds in a greenhouse or hotbed about the 
end of March, and when seedlings are large enough to 
handle, prick off into flats of rich soil or into individual 
pots. Allow about 8 inches each way between the 
plants to have sufficient room in which to develop until 
June at which time set in the open garden spaced 
3 feet apart. Eggplants like a warm, well-drained 
piece of land—light rather than a heavy soil. One 
ounce of seed should produce about 1000 plants, 
5 ounces to the acre. 
5902 New York Improved. Large, oval, glossy- 
purple fruits, entirely spineless. Pkt. 15c.,

large size and splendid quality. 10 days earlier 
than New York Improved. Pkt. 15c., oz. 50c.,

5909 New Hampshire Hybrid. p or pj ew Eng¬ 
land growing, this new variety has two truly 
remarkable characteristics, it is very early 
and very prolific, insuring a satisfactory and .’ 
heavy crop in localities where other and older ' 
varieties fail to develop. The beautiful deep '■ 
purple fruits are slightly oval and medium in 
size. It is the ideal home garden variety on all 
counts. Pkt. 15c., oz. 75c., 34 lb. $2.50. 
DANDELION 
( Italian—Dente di Leone) 
A very superior quality of Dandelion greens may 
be had by sowing seeds in May or June in very shallow 
dtills, 15 to 18 inches apart. The seedlings should be 
thinned to 6 or 8 inches. A Winter mulch is necessary 
after the ground becomes firmly frozen.

fleshy leaves. Pkt. 25c., oz. $1.00, 34 lb. $3.00.

ENDIVE 
( Italian — Endivia) 
While sowings may be started as early as the end 
of April, the really worth-while crop is not to be had 
until late Summer or Autumn. Seed for this late crop 
should be sown from July 15 to August 1. Endive 
requires a light rich soil to appear at its best. The 
seeds should be sown in drills and the seedlings thinned 
out to stand 10 or 12 inches apart.

days. A very sweet variety for Autumn use.

FLORENCE FENNEL 
( Italian — Finocchio ) 
5948 Florence Fennel. 85 days. This delicious 
Italian vegetable has grown very much in favor 
in recent years. The leaf bases form the por¬ 
tion which is so highly prized, being sometimes 
boiled and occasionally cut up and used in a 
raw state for salad purposes. Pkt. 10c., 
oz. 50c. 
Know- 'Ijousi Soil 
Plants of all kinds need a balanced diet 
if they are to yield maximum growth. The 
only way to insure a balanced diet is to first 
test the soil and then add the missing 
chemicals according to the soil’s needs. 
The Sudbury Soil-Testing Kit is 
practical and easy to use. It provides a 
simple method of determining the nitrogen, 
phosphorus and potash contents, and also 
whether the soil is acid or alkaline. 
The use of the Sudbury Soil-Testing Kit 
eliminates guesswork and provides actual 
knowledge of what Plant Foods are needed 
and how much to apply. 
Home Garden Kit (Sufficient for 
about 20 tests). $ 2.00 
Club Model (Sufficient for about 
50 tests). 4.75 
Refills are available for all Sudbury Kits 
—see list of “Garden Tools and Requisites,” 
starting on page 96. 
KOHLRABI 
( Italian—Cavolo Rapa) 
Seed of the “Turnip-rooted Cabbage” may be sown 
thinly in shallow drills in the early Spring and up to 
August 1 for a late crop. Several successive sowings 
are necessary for only the smaller and more tender 
Kohlrabis are desirable, and they soon get stringy 
and harden during hot, dry weather. Spring and 
Autumn crops yield much the best roots. One ounce 
will sow 150 feet of drill; 2 pounds to the acre. 
5956 Early White Vienna. 55 days. A very 
early variety. Tops small; outer color greenish 
white. Flesh quite free from fiber and of 
excellent quality. Pkt. 10c., oz. 50c., 34 lb. 
$1.50. 
5958 Early Purple Vienna. 60 days. Very 
early. Tops small, outer color purple. Flesh 
quite free from fiber. Pkt. 10c., oz. 35c., 
34 lb. $1.25. 
KALE or BORECOLE 
( Italian—Cavolo Verdi ) 
Sow the seeds not earlier than May 1 5 and set the 
resulting plants in rows, allowing about 2 feet between 
the plants and at least 3 feet between the rows. The 
Kales are very hardy and will sometimes withstand 
the rigors of our New England Winters. They should 
be subjected to several freezings to improve their 
flavor. One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill; 6 ounces 
to the acre. 
5970 Dwarf Green Curled Scotch. 85 days. 
Leaves bright green, closely curled, very ten¬ 
der. Quality is improved if the plants are 
touched by frost before being used. Pkt. 10c., 
oz. 25c., i i lb. 60c., lb. $2.00. 
5974 Siberian or Winter. 65 days. Pkt. 10c., 
oz. 25c., li lb. 60c., lb. $2.00. 
Kale, Dwarf Green Curled Scotch 
LEEK 
(Italian — Porro) 
Sow the seed outdoors in shallow drills during April 
and later thin out or transplant so that the plants will 
stand 8 or 10 inches apart. The soil in which they are 
grown should be well fertilized. As the Leeks grow, 
the soil should be hilled up around them in just the 
same manner as is advised for Celery in order to pro¬ 
duce the large white stalks which are so desirable. 
One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 4 pounds 
to the acre. 
6014 Large American Flag. 150 days. Hardy, 
vigorous and an excellent Winter sort. Bulbs
