GREEN CURLED ENDIVE 
The “Chicorée Frisée” of the French. 
An excellent salad plant, available long after the season for Lettuce, 
and more easily grown. The flavor is pleasantly bitter, stimulating and 
zest-giving. Is used also boiled as greens. ; 
Green Curled is the best for general use, and is easily blanched by 
covering the full-grown plants with boards or pieces of slate. After 
severe frost the plants may be removed and planted closely in a cellar 
for winter use. The seed should be sown in rows about 2 feet apart and 
% inch deep in the drill. When sufficiently grown, thin the plants out to 
8 inches apart and cultivate thoroughly while growing. A very early 
crop may be grown by starting the seed in hotbed, greenhouse, or window 
box. Good results come from early spring sowing, and even better, when 
treated as a fall crop. Successional sowings during July give a continu- 
ous supply after cool weather, and with a slight covering the plants may 
be kept in good condition well into November. Pkt., 5e; 0z., 15e; %4 Ihb.,

6 inches apart in the rows. 1 oz. to 3,000 
plants.

Kohl-rabi is. especially adapted to the back 
yard garden. It resembles a turnip in flavor, 
and is prepared for the table in the same way, 
but it does not grow underground, forming a 
bulb instead, a few inches above the roots, 
from which numerous leaf stalks shoot out. 
when kohl-rabi is about the size of a baseball, 
it is ready to be cut for the table. If allowed 
to grow much larger it gets tough and woody. 
Kohl-rabi will grow in almost any soil, and 
is ready for use in a few weeks from the time 
the seed is sown. Moreover, a succession can 
be obtained all summer by sowing seeds at 
intervals of two weeks, and the crop can be 
stored in sand jn the cellar for winter.
