ENDIVE 
Endive—Broad Leaved Batavian 
One of the best salad plants, especially valuable 
for Winter use. For the first crop, sow about the 
middle of April; for succession, small sowings 
may be made every month until August, when the 
main planting is made. Sow in shallow drills and 
transplant to 1 foot apart in rows 3 feet distant. 
When almost full grown they must be bleached; 
this is accomplished by gathering the leaves and 
tying them at the top to keep the light and air 
from the inner leaves, which will become bleached 
in three or four weeks.
