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 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 every few days a succession may 



be kept up. Blanching 

 done by slip- 

 large sized but 

 or piece of tile 

 plant. after the 

 are gathered up 

 ' closely together.

 supply btilbs 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

 yellow, take up the bulbs and dry in 

 the shade, and lay them up in a dry 

 loft as you would onions.
