One Ounce of Seed to JOO Yards of Row. Matures for Table in 120 Days from Sowing. This seed is generally sown under glass and transplanted to field 2 or 3 weeks after Corn-planting season. The plants are set in rows of 5 feet and at 3 feet in the row. The land cannot be too liighly fertilized for this crojiâ very short, thoroughly rotted stable manure or similar preparation is best; strong or hot, rank manure, is unsuitable. Sow in hotbeds o"" other protected place early in the Spring : when up 2 or 3 inches transplant into small ^H)ts (wliich i)lunge in earth) so lus to get stocky, well-rooted plants, anil late in the Spring, or not till the commence- meut of Summer, unless the weather be warm, transplant into thoroughly worked, ricii and recently well-manured ground. A good plan is to ojien a deep, wide trench, tilling"it nearly with manure : restore the earth and plant therein, placing the plants 3 feet apart each way. The seed does not vege- tate freely ; repeated sowings are sometimes necessary. It is almost useless to attempt the culture of Egg-plant unless the proper attention given. In growing the Egg-plant in the Summer and Autumn months in Florida, great trouble is sometimes experienced in getting a stand of plants owing to the excessive heat and beating rains. This ditticulty can be largely overcome by shading the ground where the seed is sown. If sown in beds, the shading may be accomplished by metms of frames covered with seed-bed cloth, or by blinds of slats or common boards properly supjxjrted over the beds to cut oft' the direct rays of the sun. In Florida if "the seed is sown where the plants are to remain (a bad pnvctice) the shading may be done by using Palmetto fans and leaves,
