ENDIVE 
One of the best salads for fall and winter use. Endive is not only much used for salads and garnishing but is also desirable 
for greens and for flavoring soups and stews. 
Plants may be grown at any season.of the year but are more generally used late in the fall. For early use sow about April 
15th; for later supply sow in June or July in drills fourteen to twenty 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.

inches apart in row, covering two inches deep. When the leaves turn yellow take up the bulbs, dry in shade and lay them up 
in a dry loft as you would onions. BULBS—'% Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c. 
HORSE RADIS Horse Radish rarely produces seed but is grown from pieces of the root. For the home 
garden they may be set wherever a few feet of space is available, but when grown as a 
crop they should be set in rich, moist, well prepared ground in rows two and one-half feet apart and about eighteen inches 
apart in the row. Set the roots vertically, small end down, and the top of the root one to three inches below the surface of 
the ground. Cultivate thoroughly until the tops cover the ground, when their shade will keep down the weeds.

KALE OR BORECOLE 
This is extensively grown, especially in the south during the fall, winter and spring. The leaves are used principally 
for greens. A favorite way is to cook them with bacon. The leaves are also used for garnishing. 
Where climate permits seed may be sown any time from August to October, broadcast or preferably in drills eighteen 
inches apart so that the plants when small may be : 
cultivated. The quality is improved rather than 
injured by frosts if not too heavy. Farther north sow 
in April or May in rich light soil in rows two to three 
feet apart and where plants of the largest size are 
desired thin to two feet apartin row. It is better not 
to cut or handle the plants while frozen, but if this is 
unavoidable, thaw them outin cold water. The young 
shoots which start up in the spring from the old 
stumps are very tender and make excellent greens.
