CULTURE âEgg Plant seed requires a higher temperature for germination than any other vegetables, and this temperature should be maintained right along in order to maintain strong and healthy growth. Sow the seeds in hotbeds, early in March. When 3 inches high, pot the young plants, using small pots, and plunge them in the same bed, so that the plants may become stocky. They can be planted out from the pots when the season becomes sufBciently warm, in May or June. The soil can hardly be made too rich. Set the plants in open ground, allowing 3 feet space between the rows, and 2 feet space between the plants in the row. Watch for the potato beetle. This pest, as well as blight,may be controlled by spraying with Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead Mixture or by dusting the plants with Slug Shot. 404 Early Black Beauty. Spineless, with rich purplish black skin; very attractive and of best quality. This beautiful Egg-Plant is a great im- provement over the well-known and largely grown New York Improved Large Purple, but more exacting than that standard, in calling for rich, warm soil. The plants are remarkably healthy in their growth and pro- duce an abundance of large fruit, earlier than the New York Improved. The favorite sort for show purposes. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 40 cts.; oz., 75 cts.; i lb., New York Improved Large Purple. Produces the fruits in great quantities, plants averaging from 4 to 6 fruits each. They are large, nearly round, dark purple, free of thorns and of excellent quality. The standard variety where 'Black Beauty' cannot be grown, because of soil conditions. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 40 cts.; oz., 75 cts.; i lb., 406 Early Long Purple. Earliest, hardiest
