JonimoD variety Per pkt. .10 . ,*0 PUBPI-E EGGUPLA>T (SoL-A^-UM MELO^-GE^'A). German, Cierpfianze. â French, Aubergine. â Spanish, Berengena. The Egg-Plant was introduced from Africa, and is sometimes called the Guinea Squash. It is not generally cultivated, bi;t is coming more into use every year. They are cut into thin slices, and fried, when they have a taste similar to oysters; they are also used in stews and soups. Culture. â Sow in hotbed very early in spring; transplant, when two inches high, into a second hotbed; if that is not done, thin to four inches apart. Do not plant out till the wea- ther becomes settled and warm. Keep plants watered for a few days if hot when put out. Where hotbeds are not convenient, a few plants can be started in flower-pots or boxes, and when planted out must have a deep rich soil, and full exposure to the sun. pe
