Green Curled Endive 
The ‘‘Chicoree Frisee’’ of the French 
459. An excellent salad plant, available long after the season 
for Lettuce, and more easily grown. The flavor is pleasantly 
bitter, stimulating and zest-giving. Is used also boiled as greens. 
Green Curled is the best for general use, and is easily blanched 
by covering the full-grown plants with boards or pieces of slate. 
After severe frost the plants may be removed and planted closely 
ina cellar for winter use. The seed should be sown in rows about 2 
feet apart and 14 inch deep in the drill. When sufficiently grown, 
thin the plants out to 8 inches apart and cultivate thoroughly 
while growing. A very early crop may be grown by starting the 
secd in hotbed, greenhouse, or window box. Good results come 
from early spring sowing, and even better, when treated as a fall 
crop. Successional sowings during July give a continuous supply 
after cool weather, and with a slight covering the plants may be 
kept in good condition well into Noyember. Price, 10c. pkt., 
25c. 02z., 70c. 4 Ib., $2.25 1b.

same way as Green Curled, but thin out the plants to 10 inches 
apart in the rows. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c.0z., 70c. 14 lb., $2.25 Ib.

grower and produces an attractive, very compact plant. As the |i 
plant develops the center changes from green to a beautiful |# 
creamy yellow, giving it a most inviting and appetizing appear-— i 
ance, and in fact gives the impression of having been artificially |* 
blanched. The leaves which are crisp and tender have a delightful, — 
nutty flavor that is greatly relished. (See engraving.) Price, 20c. }j
