Sow seed inside about March Ist. When nights are 
warm, transplant out-of-doors 20 to 24 inches apart in 
3 ft. rows. Cold nights stunt egg plant. 
New Hampshire Hybrid is smaller than Kille’s 
Select but being definitely earlier is much better 
adapted to the Northern States. 
Flea beetles sometimes practically ruin newly set 
egg plant. It is always best to dust the plants with 
Rotenone as soon as they are set. 
V *200 NEW HAMPSHIRE HYBRID: 65 days. This 
variety was developed at the New Hampshire Ex- 
periment Station by Dr. J. R. Hepler to meet the 
need for a large fruited egg plant for the North. An 
early variety, plants are upright in growth and very 
productive. Fruits are good market size, medium 
dark purple in color and of very firm texture. Lower 
fruits touch the ground. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 30c; oz.

The wild dandelion has for centuries been popular 
as an early spring potherb. The Chinese called it 
“Earth Nail” and “Golden Hair’. In the middle ages 
it was also bleached and used for salads. The domesti- 
cated dandelion is much larger, more upright and 
thicker leaved than its ancestor, the wild variety. 
Seed should be sown in spring or early summer and 
the leaves will be ready to eat the following spring.

vigorous, upright, and produce good hearts. Pkt.

Deep Heart Fringed Endive is easy to grow and supplies salad 
material from the garden after most leafy vegetables are killed 
by frost. 

“A result of the fame of Seneca Chief is that all my small surplus 
of other home vegetables is sold—people apparently operate on the 
principle that if the corn is so good, the tomatoes must also be fine.”

New Hampshire Hybrid is an eggplant that, as its name indicates, 
was developed in the Northeast for our short growing season. 
Do not set eggplant until the nights are warm.

1 oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
Endive seed may be sown as soon as the ground can 
be worked in the spring but the best quality endive is 
produced in the fall from seed sown about July Ist in 
rows 20 to 30 inches apart. Plants should be thinned 
to 12 inches. 
Deep Heart Fringed has practically taken the place 
of the old curly varieties. The head is much deeper 
and bleaches better. 
*210 DEEP HEART FRINGED: 90 days. All- 
America Silver Medal Winner in 1940. Somewhat 
similar in appearance to Green Curled but is more 
upright in growth and has broader leaves and a 
deeper heart. Leaves are cut and curled at the 
edges; ribs are white, free from pinkish color, and 
the heart is white instead of cream. Outer leaves 
turn upward, making plants less susceptible to bot- 
tom rots than most endives. Before hard freezing 
weather cut your sweet corn stalks and cover endive. 
With this protection you will have Deep Heart 
Endive until nearly Christmas. Pkt. 15c; oz. 30c;
