GERMAIN'S EGG PLANT Aubergine, Fr. Bereiijena, Sp. Petonciano, Ital. Eierfrucht, Ger. Note—Prices listed are postpaid CULTURE The plants should be started under glass if ^ wanted early. If later results are desired, seed should be planted in cold frames or , in boxes where special care can be given. Egg plant seed is very delicate and will not grow unless special care is given it. It is easily affected by cold weather. Seed should be barely covered and particular attention should be given to have well-pulverized soil of rich composition. Moisture is an important factor and care should be taken to have the soil in beds or boxes moist, as any check to growth is exceedingly difficult to overcome and invites failure. Plants should not be set out permanently until all danger of frost is over, using plants 6 to 8 inches tall of vigorous growth for setting in the field. Space plants 3 feet apart each way and cultivate thoroughly throughout the season.
