CRESS 
There are two species of cress, as noted below. The first named 
should be sown in drills about 16 inches apart in rich ground, 
early in spring. Several sowings should be made at intervals 
to secure a succession. Watercress should be sowed along the 
banks of running water where there is good soil, and after the 
seed is up it needs no further cultivation, since the plants spread 
over the water and make a mass of fine, edible leaves.

like parsley. The leaves are pungent and are used to 
mix with lettuce. Pkt. 5c; ox. 10c; y 4 lb. 80c; lb. 50c.

Green Curled Endive 
A salad vegetable which is becoming very valuable for winter 
use. The seed should be sown in June or July in 18-inch rows, 
and thinned to about six inches apart. When quite well grown 
the outer leaves should be tied, thus blanching the inner leaves 
and the heart. It is hardly palatable until after frost, being 
rather bitter if used in summer.
