as soon as all danger from insects is over thin the plants to leave four of the strongest in each hill. 
One oz. to 50 hills: 1 pound to the acre.

EGG PLANT. 
: Sow the seed in hotbeds early in March, transplant to small pots and plunge them in the same beds; 
this is to make them strong and stocky. They should not be planted out until May or June, when the 
weather becomes warm and settled, as cool nights and wet weather will check their growth. Set the plants 
in rows 3 feet apart each way and give them thorough cultivation, drawing the earth up to the stems 
when they are about a foot high. Repeated sowings are sometimes necessary, as the seed does not germinate 
freely without strong and uniform heat. One oz. to 2,000 plants.

ENDIVE. 
This is an important fall and winter salad. For early, the seed should be shown in April, in drills 15 
inches apart, and the seedlings thinned to stand 12 inches apart in the rows. Sowings for the main crop 
may be made in June and July, as the vegetable is used principally in fall and winter. The inner leaves 
are blanched by tying the tips of the outer ones together, or by laying boards over the plants. 
One-fourth oz. to 100 feet of drill.
