ENDIVE — GARLIC — HORSERADISH 481 
Endive. — One of the best fall salad vegetables, being far superior to 
lettuce at that time and as easily grown. 
For fall use, the seed may be sown 
from June to August, and as the plants 
become fit to eat about the same time 
from sowing as lettuce does, a succession 
may be had until cold weather. The 
plants will need protection from the 
severe fall frosts, and this may be given 
by carefully lifting the plants and trans- 
planting to a frame, where sash or cloth 
may be used to cover 
them in freezing weather. 308. Endive tied up. 
The leaves, which con- 
stitute practically the whole plant, are blanched before 
being used, either by tying together with some soft 
material (Fig. 308) or by standing boards on each side 
of the row, allowing the top of the boards to meet over 
the center of the row. Tie the leaves only when they 
are dry. 
The rows should be 1% or 2 feet apart, the plants 
1 foot apart in the rows. One ounce of seed will sow 
150 feet of drill. 
Garlic. — An onion-like plant, the bulbs of which are 
used for flavoring. 
Garlic is little known in this country except amongst 
those of foreign birth. It is multiplied the same as 
multiplier onions — the bulb is broken apart and each 
bulbule or “clove” makes a new compound bulb in a 
\ few weeks. Hardy; plant in early spring, or in the 
4. South in the fall. Plant 2 to 3 inches apart in the row. 
Horseradish. — Widely used as an appetizer, and 
now grown commercially. As a kitchen-garden vege- 
table, this is usually planted in some out-of-the-way
