Eggplant 
CULTURE.—The Eggplant will thrive well in any 
garden soil but will repay good treatment. Seed should 
be sown in a hotbed or warm greenhouse in March or 
April, and, when about an inch high, transfer to 2-inch 
pots. If no hotbed is at hand, they can be grown in any 
light room where the temperature will average 75 de- 
grees. Plant out about June 1, 21% feet apart. 
Black Beauty. 80 days. This is a very early vegetable. 
In fact, the earliest good market variety. By this we 
mean it is the earliest variety that grows to a good size 
suitable for market purposes. It is dwarf-growing and 
bears its large egg-shaped fruits close to the main stem.
