404. Whitioof Chicory, or French Endive 



Whitloof is used principally as a Winter salad, and it is most delicious 

 served with French dressing and eaten like Cos Lettuce. The seed should be 

 sown in the open ground not later than June, in drills twelve to eighteen inches 

 apart, and the seedlings should be thinned out to stand not closer than three 

 inches. The plants form long, parsnip-shaped roots which are lifted in the 

 Fall, trimmed of leaves and stored in soil in a cool place until wanted for 

 forcing. The roots should be planted upright about one and a half to two 

 inches apart in a trench sixteen to eighteen inches deep. This will bring the 

 neck of the root to within m'ne inches of the level of the trench, which should 

 be filled with light soil. If a quicker growth is desired, a mulch of fresh manure 

 about two feet deep may be used. The roots may abo be forced in boxes in 

 a warm cellar, in which case they should be set in fine soil two inches apart 

 and with the crowns two inches below the surface. To exclude all light, the 

 box should be covered with another of the same size, and if water is required 

 it should be slightly heated. It requires about one month to force roots. The 

 heads are then cut off with a small portion of the neck of the root attached.
