Start Eggplant Early
in Spring Under Glass

The eggplant is a warm-weather
plant as yet moi acclimatized in the
North. 1t should be started early, un-
der glass. Plants should be ''pricked
off" when the second leaves appear,
four inches apart, in boxes. "Pricking
Off means removing the plants from
their crowded position in the hOtbed
and placing at some distance apart in
boxes or in flower pots. The boxes
shOrld be kept in a cOldframe and
plenty of light and air should be adj
mitted on warm, sunny days in order
to harden the plants. After frost dam
ger is past and the soil is we'll warmed
the plants may be transplantGd. Care
must be taken to avoid the use of ex-
tremely rich soil or the plants are
likely to keep up their growth until
too late in the season to escape the early
fall frOsts. The seed should be sOwn
about April 10. A temperature Of 65
to 20 degrees should be maintained in
the hOtbed.
Plants should be set about three feet
apart each way. A dozen plants are
sufficient for the needs of a family.
One ounce Of seed will furnish $50
plants.
