ONE OUNCE EGG PLANT SEED WILL PRODUCE 500 PLANTS.
Egg plant seed should be sown very early in hot-beds the plants being very tender must be protected from
frost, but exposed so far as practicable to light and air to harden them. Egg plant seed will not germinate freely
without a strong uniform heat, if they get the least chilled they seldom recover, therefor repeated sowings are
sometimes necessary.
ENDIVE. (Endivien.)
One ounce will sow 150 feet of row.
Elldive is one of the best salads for fall and winter use. Sow for

the fall months, the main sowings are made in June and July. Plant
one foot apart each way. When the plant has attained its full size
gather up the leaves and tie them by their tips in a conical form.
