Cutture. Eggplant seed will not vege- 
tate freely without a strong, uniform heat, 
and if the plants get the least chilled in the 
earlier stages of growth they seldom recover. 
Therefore, repeated sowings are sometimes 
necessary. 120 days. 
Black Beauty. The earliest large variety. 
Fruits rich, dark purple.

ters, and splendid bearers.

smooth, deep purple fruits free of thorns; 
flesh white, of excellent quality. Very 
productive.

covering lightly; thin out to 8 inches apart, 
and water well afterward. When the leaves 
are 6 to 8 inches long, blanch by gathering in
