One ounce will produce about 1,000 plants 
Curtture. 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. Soil B. 
Black Beauty. The earliest large variety.

ters, and splendid bearers.

CuLtTurE. Sow in June, July, and August, 
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 
the hand and tying together near the top 
with yarn or raffia. This must be done when 
quite dry or they will rot. At the approach 
of winter, take up carefully with a ball of 
earth to each plant and place close together 
in frame or cellar for use. They must be kept 
dry and have plenty of air. 85 days. Soil B.

Fennel 
A delicious vegetable which is extensively 
used in Italy as a salad, but is particularly 
palatable when served boiled, with a cream 
dressing. When the enlargement of leaf- 
stalk, at base of stem, is about the size of a 
hen’s egg it should be earthed up so as to 
cover half of it, and in about 10 days cutting 
for use may be commenced and continued 
as the plants increase in growth. The flavor 
is somewhat like celery, but it has a sweeter 
taste and delicate odor. 60 days. Soil A.
