ENDIVE

This is an important fall and winter salad. For early, the seed should be sown 

 in April, in drills 15 inches apart, and the seedlings thinned to stand 12 inches apart 

 in the rows. Sowings for the main crop may be made in June and July, as the vege- 

 table is used principally in fall and winter. The inner leaves may be blanched to a 

 beautiful yellowish white in from three to five weeks by tying the tips of the outer 

 ones together, or by laying boards over the plants. Ordinarily good soil and culture 

 are ajl the crop requires. An ounce of seed will sow 150 feet of drill.
