WHITLOOF CHICORY OR FRENCH ENDIVE 
This makes one of the most delicious of all winter salads. The seed is sown in 
good rich soil m May or June and then transplanted to 9 inches apart. In autumn, 
the roots are taken up, those which have divided, or too narrow leaves being thrown 
aside, if any such are met with, as well as any which bear several heads. The leaves 
of aU the selected roots are then trimmed off about 1 i/2 inch from the neck, and any 
secondary shoots that may appear on the sides of the roots are picked out, the lower 
end of the roots being also shortened so as to bring them all to a uniform length of 
8 to 9 inches. The roots are then planted in earth in a dark, cool place in the cellar 
or under a greenhouse bench. Fmely blanched crisp leaves are thrown out, and 
when cut, new leaves form. The leaf growth furnishes a delicious salad or it may 
be cooked in the same manner as Sea Kale. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 75 cts.; a lb., $2.25. 
Large Rooted. — Requires similar treatment to carrot. The root is used to mix 
with coffee, and the leaves as a salad. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 75 cts.; lb., $2.25.

EGG PLANT 
Sow the seed thickly in a hot bed in March. When three inches high pot the 
young plants, using small pots, and plunge them in the.same bed, so that the plants 
may become stocky. They can be planted out from the pots when the season becomes 
sufttclently warm, in rows two feet apart and one foot In the rows. 
The soil can hardly be 
made too rich. After settled 
warm weather has set in, 
set the plants in open ground, 
allowing 3 feet space between 
the rows, and 2 feet space 
between the plants In the 
row. Watch for the potato 
beetle. This pest as well eis 
blight may be controlled bv 
spraying with Arsenate of 
Lead.
