Inside was a daintily arranged assortment of hothouse vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplant eggs, artichokes, with a separate basket in one corner brimming with strawberries, and in the other a pink tissue-paper parcel, tied with ribbon, containing mushrooms, proving that, after all, fussy Mr. Vandeveer has the saving grace of humour.
Zimmerman, the stockbroker, whose office is on the sixth story, might easily fall clear of the Greek restaurant in the corner of Greenwich Street, roll twenty-five yards more down Morris Street, and find himself on Washington Street reading a copy of Al-Hoda and making his luncheon off baha gannouge, majaddarah and milookeiah, which, after all, are only eggplant salad, lentils and rice, and the popular favorite known as Egyptian Combination.

Ten thousand orchid plants were the beginning of the sight. We saw the lettuce and the string beans and the tomatoes and potatoes and eggplant and melons, and all growing under glass, for the Emperor to eat.

Claude clapped his hands at the sight.
'They are fed with eggplant and melon rind, continues Akira, 'and sold to children to play with. And there are also beautiful little cages full of fireflies cages covered with brown mosquito-netting, upon each of which some simple but very pretty design in bright colours has been dashed by a Japanese brush. One cricket and cage, two cents. Fifteen fireflies and cage, five cents.
"If Fido sits on any of the garden, the plants will not grow, Mistress says!" "Eggs are different!" one old hen explained. "In order to make the eggs hatch properly, we must sit on them three weeks and not let them get cold at any time!" "And at the end of the three weeks do the eggs sprout?" asked Raggedy Ann. "You must be thinking of eggplant!" cried one old hen.
