MAX SCHL1NG inc., 24 WEST 59th STREET, NEW YORK 19 
ENDIVE 
An excellent and very palatable 
salad, especially valuable for late fall 
and early winter use. For first crop, 
sow seeds outdoors the middle of 
April, and, for successions, small sow- 
ings can be made every three weeks. 
The main sowing for fall and winter 
crop should be made in July. As soon 
as plants are large enough to handle, 
thin out, or transplant to 1 foot apart 
in the row. When fully grown or 
nearly so, tie the leaves together at 
the top to bleach them. They whiten 
in about a week's time. The leaves 
can be cooked the same as spinach. 
The French are very fond of Endive 
as a boiled vegetable. 
One ounce of seed will plant 100 feet 
of drill
