In the United States it is cultivated as a vegetable as far north as New York, but it usually grows to greater perfection in the southern states. The demands for it during the early months of the year have not been fully supplied.

Eggplants are forced under glass to a limited extent for home use. They require the temperature of a tomato house, and great care timsf he taken to keep otr sjiiiler and mites. In to insure large fruits, practice artificial pollination. Non - polli- nated fruits will grow for a time, but always remain small (Fig. 750). (Cf. Bailey, Forcing- Book.) Soil. - Eggplant will grow on almost any soil in the South, but it de- velops to greater per- fection on a rich, deep, loamy soil free from de- bris. In the clay districts this is not easily obtained, but there are often small fields that are sufficiently dry and yet contain enough sand to make Eggplant growing profitable. No matter whether clay land, loam or sandy land be employed for raising this crop, it will be neces- sary to plow deeply and thoroughly. The land should be drier than that required by cabbage or beets. In fact, it will stand a greater drought than the ord
