Kitchen-Gardens in France, Italy, 

 Spain, 6cc, and, I believe, are all 

 Seminal Varieties, which alter and 

 change the Colour of their Flow- 

 ers and Seeds, as do the common 

 Garden-Beans. 



This Plant is feldom cultivated 

 in England, except in particular 

 Gardens : Nor do 1 think it worth 

 planting for Ufe, where Peas will 

 do well, which are lb much pre- 

 ferable for Goodnefs, and much 

 greater Bearers, producing abov^e 

 double the Quantity upon the fame 

 Ground : But in warmer Countries, 

 where our delicate Sorts of Peas 

 feldom thrive well, thefe may fup- 

 ply their Place i and, perhaps, in 

 thofe Countries they are much 

 more fruitful than with us. 



The Seeds of thefe Chhhes 

 Ihould be ibwn in March, in an 

 open Situation, and upon a warm 

 dry Soil, in Rows about two Feet 

 afunder, and as thick as Peas are 

 ufually fown in the Rows. When 

 the Plants are come up, the Ground 

 mufl; be hoe'd, and the Plants 

 carth'd, as is pradis'd for common 

 Peas, to which this Plant agrees 

 very well in its Culture. In June 

 and J-uly it will flower, and irs 

 Seeds will be ripe in Augufi and 

 Settember, 



The People in Trance and Italy 

 preierve them for boiling in the 

 Winter-feafon, as we do our White 

 and Grey Peas, to which thefe are 

 ibmewhat akin.

 The Characiers are 5 



It is one of the milky slants rolth 

 a plain radiated FloTi>er : The Floru- 

 ers are produced from the Sides of 

 the Branches, at the fetting Ojf of 

 the Branches upon Jljort Foot-jlalks : 

 The Cup of the Flower is like a con^ 

 iracied Seed-vejjfel : The Seeds are 

 angular, umbilicated, and in -Shape 

 fomewhat like a Wedge.

The Species are ,•

 mon broad-leav'd Endive. 



2. CicHORiuM ; anguftifolium,

 mon narrow-leav'd Endive. 



3. CicHORiuMj crifpum. Tourn. 

 Curled Endive. 



4. CiCHORiuM ; crifpum, angujli-

 curl'd Endive. 



5-. CicHORiuM ,• fylvefire, five 

 offxinarum. C. B. Wild Succory. 



The firft and fecond Sorts of 

 Endive are now aim oft wholly dif- 

 ufed in the Kitchen-Gardens, as 

 being vaftly inferior to the curl'd 

 Kinds, which are by much the 

 larger and handfbmer Heads. 



The Seafons for fowing their 

 Seeds are in May, June, and July, 

 at four or five different times i for 

 that which is firft fown, is very 

 fubjc(ffc to run to Seed, efpecially if 

 the Autumn prove warm and dry: 

 But however, it is nccellary to have 

 a little fown in the Decreafe of 

 the Moon in May, for the firft 

 Crop ; and again in June the mid- 

 dle and latter Endj and for the laft 

 Crop, about the middle of July. 

 Thefe Seeds fhould be fown m an 

 open Situation, and a good rich 

 Soil, but not too. thick. When 

 the Plants are come up, and grown 

 to be about two Inches high, they 

 muft be tranlplanted into another 

 open good Spot of Ground, at 

 about a Foot afunder every way, 

 obferving to trim off" the Tops 

 of the largeft Leaves with your 

 Knife before you plant them \ as 

 alfb to water them conftantly eve- 

 ry other Evening, until they have 

 taken frefh Root : After which 

 Time they will need no other 

 Care, but to keep them clean 

 from Weeds, until they have fo 

 fpread
