"There are six or seven varieties, between which there is not much real difference; the common red is equal to any.

"Cultivation same as directed for the Melongena, or Egg Plant. It is, however, more free in growth, and will produce fruit tolerably early, when sown on the open border.

"On the approach of frost pull up some of the plants, (root and all,) which are well laden with fruit, and hang them up in a dry, airy apartment. In this manner it may be continued in perfection for some time longer than the natural season." - Rural Reg.
