ing. "Water must be given moderately 

 in dry weather, until they are estab- 

 lished, and shelter, if frosts occur, by a 

 light covering of litter. When well 

 rooted, they may be removed into the 

 cellar, or other place, where the light 

 can be completely excluded from them, 

 to blanch for use as wanted, which 

 change will be effected in six or seven 

 days. Succory will bear a temperature 

 of 60, but thrives better in a rather 

 lower one. 



If the roots are vigorous, they will 

 bear cutting two or three times, after 

 which they are unproductive. 



To, obtain Seed, a few plants must be 

 left in the open ground of the June sow- 

 ing ; they bear the severity of winter 

 without protection, and shoot up in the 

 spring, running to seed about May.
