commonly blew, feldome white. The root is 
long, white, with firings growing thereat, which 
withereth after the feed is ripe. 
4 Curled Endiue hath leaues not vnlike to 
tbofe of the curled or Cabbage lettuce but 
much greater - among which rile vp ftrong and 
thicke ftalkes,fet with the like leaues, but Tefler 
and not fo notably curled or crifped. The flours’ 
grow at the top, blew of colour. The root peri- 
fhech,as doth the whole plant, when it hath 
brought forth his ripe feed. 
t 5 Tothefemay fitlybeadded thethor- 
ny or prickly Succory of Candy, being of this 
kindred, and there vied in defedi of the true 
Succoric,in ftead thereof. The root is pretty 
long, white, with few fibers hanging thereat": 
tneftalkeis hard,wooddy,and diuaricated into 
many branches, which commonly end in two or 
three prickes like homes: The leaues are bit- 
ter, long, narrow, and fharpe pointed, and lie 
fpread vpon the ground, and are a little linuated 
or cut about the edges:The flours, which vfually 
grow vpon little footftalkes at the diiufionsof 
the branches, are much like thofe of the ordina- 
ry Succory, yet much Idle, confining of fine 
blew leaues, with yellow chiues in the middle. 
The feed is like thofe of the common Succory 
Icfloures inTuly and Auguft. £

This Succory, and thele Endiues are only 
fowne in gardens. 
Endiue being fowen in the fpring quickly commethvp to floure, which feedeth in harueft and 
afterward dteth. But being fowen in Iuly it remaineth till winter, at which time it is taken vd 
by the roots, and laid in the tonne or aire forthefpace of two houres ; then will the leaues be 
tough, and eafily endure to be wrapped vpon an heape, and buried in the earth with the roots vd- 
ward, where no earth can get within it(which ifit did,would caufe rottenneffe) the which fo cone 
red may be taken vp at times conuenient, and vfed in fal lades all the winter, as in London and 
other places is to be feen ; and then it is called white Endiue, whereof Pltm feemeth not to be to 
norant,fpeaking to the fame purpofe in his ao.booke and S.chapter. &
