When 3 inches high, pot the young plants, using small pots, and plunge them in the same bed, so that the plants may be- come stocky. They can be planted out from the pots when the season becomes sufficiently warm, in May or June. Egg- plant seed requires a higher temperature for germination than other garden vegetables, and this temperature should be main- tained right along in order to maintain strong and healthy growth. The soil can hardly be made too rich. After settled warm weather has set in, set the plants in open ground, allow- ing 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, maybe controlled by spraying with Bordeaux Arsenate of lead Mixture. Early Black Beauty. (See cut.) Spineless and rich purplish black skin; very attractive and of best quality. This beautiful Egg-Plant is a great improvement over the well- known and largely grown New York Improved Large Purple.
