BURPEE’S 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 thoroughly warm. One pkt. of seed will 
produce about 100 plants; 1 oz. 2000 plants; 1% Ib. will produce enough plants for one acre. Days mentioned 
in description of each variety represent the time required until first edible fruits are ready from field setting 
of plants. Treat seed with Cuprocide; protect plants with Slug Shot dust.
