oped from a cross, made at the Wis. College of 
Agriculture in 1932, between Black Beauty and 
Black Bountiful. It is quite similar to New 
Hampshire Hybrid, but in our trials it was more 
desirable as it was just as early,.more upright 
in growth and more productive. ‘The fruit are 
about 7 inches in length, bright purple, and 
become larger gradually symmetrically toward the 
base. The color is uniform dark purple and they 
contain fewer seeds than either Blaek Beauty 
or New Hampshire’ Hybrid. It is the best egg 
plant for northern planting. Pkt., 15¢; ¥% oz.,
