 Remarks. 



Amongst Endive, the fine-curled varieties are the most 

 appreciated. They are, however, the most tender. Of the 

 Batavian there is only one variety worthy of • cultivation, viz., 

 the Round-leaved Batavian, which forms close, well-blanched 

 hearts almost naturally. This variety is termed by the French 

 <{ Scarole en Cornet."
