Black Beauty Eggplant

"The Eggplant Black Beauty, 'Solanum melongena', is a very attractive plant with 1 to 3 pound, purple/black fruit that keeps well and has an excellent flavor. Eggplant is a very international vegetable. The unique and tasty dishes cooked in Japan, China, Italy, Russia, and other countries make eggplant a useful and tasty vegetable for your garden. If nighttime temperatures drop below 60 degrees, the fruit will not set. Eggplant prefers rich, deep, loose soils with large amounts of organic material. Provide 1 inch of water a week if it does not rain."

	Ace Tomato - $1.59 "The Tomato Ace, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum', is an old favorite with excellent tomato flavor and it is great for canning. The 5 to 6 inch in diameter Ace tomato weighs about 7 to 8 ounces which is a decent sized tomato. Yields are exceptional for such a large tomato. Ace is a low acid tomato for those who prefer such. Ace is an intermediate tomato which means they continue to grow indefinitely until frost. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Prune the intermediate tomatoes in order to keep a single stem."
	Aunt Rubys German Green Tomato - $1.89 "The Tomato Pole Aunt Ruby's German Green, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum', is an old Heirloom variety. It is not the prettiest tomato, but it is spicy and sweet and very delicious. We think Aunt Ruby's German Green is the best flavored green tomato. The tomatoes are a large, beefsteak type with 12 to 16 ounce fruits. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Prune the intermediate tomatoes in order to keep a single stem."
	Baby Lima White Dixie Bean - $1.89 "The Bean Bush Baby Lima White Dixie Butter, 'Phaseolus lunatus', has white, small ""baby"" lima beans that have a delicious flavor and mature earlier than most limas. Fresh lima beans taste so different than store bought beans that you won't recognize them. The White Dixie Butter is sweet, tender and nutty. This bush lima ends up loaded with pods. Lima beans prefer deep, sandy and well drained soils. Pick the pods when they are bulging but before they begin to turn yellow and dry out."
	Beefstake Tomato - $1.79 "The Tomato Pole Beefsteak, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum', is an old favorite. The huge tomatoes can reach up to 2 pounds. This old favorite is for those who love meaty, thick, tasty, large tomatoes for sandwiches. They are also useful for almost any dish that would benefit from rich tomato flavor. The vines are so vigorous that we recommend wire cages to hold up the plants and tomatoes. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day."
	Big Seeded Mache Corn Salad - $1.59 "The Mache Corn Salad Big Seeded, 'Valerianella locusta', has the mildest flavor and softest texture of any salad green. The leaves are so tender, they melt in your mouth. We chose the big-seeded Mache variety because it handles spring/summer heat without getting bitter. Great for both north and south gardens. This old garden green, enjoyed in the late stone age, contrasts nicely with the sharp-flavored greens in salads. To harvest, simply cut off at ground level. The leaves can be picked off when they are 1 to 2 inches long."
