EGG PLANT : 
CULTURE. While Eggplant is a native of warm countries, they can be grown successfully 
even where the summer is moderately short. A rich sandy, warm soil produces the best 
plants and yields the highest number of 
fruits. In order to provide the long growing 
season required by these plants, the seed 
should be started indoors in boxes, or ina 
very warm, protected spot, some time in 
January or in February. Keep well watered 
until the plants are ready for setting out. 
Requires 4 to 6 months to mature. 4 ounces 
of seed is sufficient to plant an acre.
