EGGPLANT 
This is a semi-tropical plant which requires 
continuous warm weather for best results. 
The seed germinates slowly and should be 
started in a hot bed. The plants may be set 
out in the open ground when 2 inches tall 
if continued warm weather is in prospect. 
Space the plants 2% to 3 feet apart. Young 
plants should be shaded from hot sun and 
sprayed with Paris Green as a protection from 
potato bugs.
