EGG PLANT 
A packet of seed will produce about 50 plants; 
an ounce about 2000 plants. 
This delicious vegetable should be in every garden. It is 
also a profitable crop to grow for market. In sowing Egg 
Plant seed, care should be taken not to cover it more than 
14 in. deep, and to keep the temperature from 70 to 90 
degrees. For the home garden it is often more satisfactory to 
buy the plants. See page 82. The young plants are often 
injured by insects, to prevent which it is a good plan to dust 
with Sulrote even before the plants are set in the open 
ground and new growth should be kept dusted as it appears. 
Plant in rows 3 feet apart each way. The plants do best on 
rather light rich soil. In the North the seed should be sown 
in March under glass and the plants set out the last of May. 
BLACK BEAUTY. True Early Strain. This is the kind 
grown most extensively by market gardeners and is the 
finest stock we have ever seen. The fruit is large and 
handsome and of a deep and rich color. The plants are of 
robust growth and are very prolific. Our stock is early, 
ripening large crops before frost even in our short seasons.

NEW HAMPSHIRE HYBRID. (NEW.) This early highly productive 
egg plant is a real acquisition to growers who have difficulty raising 
good crops of egg plant in the North, and it has been enthusiastically 
welcomed by home gardeners everywhere. The fruit is oval in shape and 
of fine purple color. It is a little smaller than Black Beauty but of ideal 
size for table use. 
The most remarkable characteristics are its earliness and large yield. 
We have counted as many as 8 to 10 good fruits and several small ones 
on a single plant. 
This new variety is a fine home garden kind and has proved a most 
profitable market variety in many sections where seasons are short.

“French Endive” or Witloof Chicory 
Special Selected Stock 
An ounce of seed will produce 3000 to 5000 roots, a packet 300 to 500 roots. 
Full directions for raising the crop will be sent to anyone interested. 
This so-called “‘French Endive” or more properly Witloof Chicory is a 
most appetizing and delicious salad and is so easily raised that everyone 
ean enjoy it all winter with very little trouble. Seed sown in May or June 
produces roots which, when taken up, trimmed and placed in sand in a 
warm dark place, throw out large tender white sprouts which are used as 
salad. These sprouts are commonly called “French Endive.” 
The seed we offer is the best strain we know being grown from especially 
selected full grown “‘forced”’ plants and will produce large compact heads 
which often weigh over 14 lb. each. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 

A packet of seed will sow 10 feet of row; an ounce 100 feet. 
Endive makes excellent salads, especially in autumn and winter. It is 
easily grown and takes little space in the garden. Sow in rows 18 in. apart, 
thinning the plants to a foot apart any time from early spring until July 
Ist in the Northern states. For fall and winter use the seeds should be 
sown about July Ist. To blanch, draw the outer leaves over the center and 
tie them or they may be blanched by placing a narrow board down 
the center of the row over the heads. This should be done when the plants 
are nearly full grown. It is best to blanch a few at a time for family use. 
DEEP HEART FRINGED. (New.) Upright plants with broad leaves. 
Produces good hearts of the highest quality. See photo and full descrip- 
tion on page 4. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 60c; Lb. $2.00. 
GREEN CURLED PANCALIER. Full Hearted Strain. Grows larger 
than Green Curled and the leaves are not quite so finely cut. It is later 
in maturing but when well grown it forms a large full heart of fine 
quality. The blanched heads are an attractive, delicate yellow in the 
heart. Used largely by market growers. Pink Ribbed. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 144 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25. 
GREEN CURLED. (Sometimes called ‘‘Chicory.’’) The leaves are 
large and finely cut and curled and easily blanch to a creamy white in 
the center. This is a most popular curled variety.
