One of our best salad plants, especially valuable for winter use. For a first crop, sow about the middle of April; for succession 

 small sowings may be made every month until August, when the main planting is made. Set out the plants 1 foot apart, in rows 3 feet 

 distant, and when well grown effect blanching by folding the leaves in their natural position around the heart, and tying the outer leaves 

 together by their tips in cone form, which must be done when quite dry, or they will rot. One ounce of seed for 75 feet of drill.
