EGG PLANT. Eierpflanzt\ Ger.) This is a very tender plant, and the seed requires the strongest heat to vegetate. Sow in a hot-bed very early in the spring, and when the plants are two or three inches high, transplant, so as to get stocky and well-rooted plants. Do not plant out until the weather becomes settled and warm. Give them a deep, rich soil and full exposure to the sun.

Plant is robust, the leaves and stems being thickly set with spines, which are not found to any extent on the other varieties 5c pkt., 40c oz., 34 lb- Long Purple. Very early. Good for general culture 5c pkt., 25c oz., 75c % lb., $ lb. ENDIVE. New York Improved. KOHL-RABI. (Turnip-Rooted Cabbage.) For an early crop, start in a hot- bed and treat the same as early Cab- bage. For winter use, sow the mid- dle of June. The stems just above the ground swells into a bulb, re- sembling a Turnip.
