New Hampshire Hybrid Egg Plant 
The leaves have been cut away to show 
the abundance of fine fruit. 
$5.00. 
NEW HAMPSHIRE HYBRID. The Earliest Egg Plant. This variety ripens two 
— or three weeks before other kinds and is a real 
acquisition to growers who have difficulty raising good crops of egg plant in the North. It has 

been enthusiastically welcomed by home gardeners everywhere. 
The fruit is oval or egg-shaped and carries a 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. The quality is excellent. 
Altogether this is a fine variety to grow in the home garden and we highly recommend it.

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.

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. 
We offer strong potted plants on page 82. 
The young plants are often injured by insects, and it is a good plan to dust with Sulrote (see page 87) 
even before the plants are set in the open ground. 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

A packet of seed will sow about 10 feet of row, a pound 100 feet.

‘French Endive” or Witloof Chicory 
Special Selected Stock 
An ounce of seed will produce 3000 to 5000 roots, a packet 300 to 500 roots. 
This so-called ‘‘French Endive” or more properly Witloof Chicory is a 
most appetizing and delicious salad and is so easily raised that everyone 
can 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 in the winter, 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 by us on our 
own farm from especially selected roots and will produce large compact 
heads which often weigh over 14 Ib. each. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Oz. 30c; Oz. 55c; 14 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 
Full directions for raising the crop will be sent to anyone interested.

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, 
and thin the plants to a foot apart. Endive may be planted 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. 
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. 20c; 144 Lb. 50c; Lb. $1.50. 
GREEN CURLED. (Sometimes called ‘‘Chicory.’’) The leaves are 
large and finely cut and curled and easily blanch to a creamy white in

FULL HEART BATAVIAN (Escarole). Large, thick leaves, dark green,
