ENDIVE-Endivien. 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill ; 3 lbs. to acre. • 



It may be sown at any time. For main crop sow in June or July in 

 rows 16 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 conical shape, or lay clean boards right over 

 the plants, which thereby excludes the light and air from the inner 

 leaves, which then blanch to a beautiful yellowish white After four- 

 teen days or or three weeks they will be ready for use. Tie up at differ- 

 ent 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. 



Ever White Curled. — By far the most beautiful variety. 

 Plants moderately dense ; leaves coarser than those of the 

 Green Curled, but the mid-rib is yellow and the leaves fre- 

 quently almost white, so that the plants are very attractive 

 and always bring the highest prices on the market.
