WITLOOF CHICORY. 
CHICORY. 
Witloof Chieory—A celicious winter salad. Seeds sown in 
spring out-doors produce parsnip-like roots which should 
be taken up in fall, trimmed and planted in a cool cellar 
covered with about 8 inches of soil. Over this should be 
placed a layer of fresh manure two to three feet deep, 
which forces a new growth of tender leaves that are used 
as a salad. It is considered a great delicacy. Pkt. 5c;
