CHICORY. 
French— Chicorde. 
The Cultivation of Chicory— Chicory is a leading ingredient in French salads, and the plant is so easily cultivated that it should be more 
popular here. The seed is sown in late spring, in a sheltered position on a nice soil, very similar to Carrots, the plants thinned out to about 9 in. 
apart, and left to grow on until the end of summer, when the growth will die down, leaving a root somewhat like a Parsnip. These are taken 
into a shed and kept in a heap of soil away from frost, and transferred to a hothouse when needed to produce their blanched heads during winter. 
They may also be grown in boxes.
