ENDIVE 



Endive may be grown at any season of the year, but is more 

 generally used late in the fall. Sow the seed in June or July, in 

 drills fourteen to twentv inches apart, and when well started thin 

 the plants to one foot apart. When nearly full grown, tie the outer 

 leaves together over the center in order to blanch the heart of the 

 plant. By covering fresh plants every few days a succession may 



be kept up. Blanching 

 may also be done by slip- 

 ping a large sized but 

 short tile or piece of tile 

 over each plant after the 

 leaves are gathered up 

 and held closely together.

 esteemed by some for flavoring soups, stews, etc. We 

 frequently receive orders for garlic seed, but we can supply 

 bulbs only. Prepare the ground the same as for onions, and 

 plant the bulbs in drills eight inches 

 apart, and four inches apart in the 

 rows, and cover two inches deep. 

 W^hen the leaves turn yellow, take 

 up the bulbs and dry in the shade, 

 and lay them up in a dry loft as 

 you would onions.

HORSE RADISH 



Horse Radish rarely produces 

 seed, but is grown from pieces of 

 the roots. 



Culture— Mark off the rows two 

 and one-half feet apart in rich, 

 moist, well prepared ground, and 

 set the pieces of roots eighteen 

 inches apart in the rows, vertically, 

 the small end down, and the top one 

 to three inches below the surface. 

 Cultivate thoroughly until the tops 

 cover the ground, when their shade 

 will keep down the weeds.
