ENDIVE.-^n&ivien. 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 38 to acre. 



It may be sown at anytime. For main crop sow in June 

 or .July in rows ]6 inches apart. When nearly full grown it is 

 blanched, to destroy bitterness, in the following form: When 

 dry gather up the leaves and tie them by their tips in a con- 

 ical shape, or lay clean boards right over the plants, which 

 thereby excludes the light and air from their inner leaves. 

 which then blanch to a beautiful yellowish white. After 14 

 days or 3 weeks they will be ready for use. Tie up at different 

 times, as it only keeps a short time after blanching. It makes 

 a splendid salad and is very useful, as it comes in after 

 Lettuce is gone.
