ENDIVE.

This vegetable is highly esteemed as a salad. Sow small quantities at different times to insure a 
plentiful supply, as these crops soon run to seed. When the plants are 3

until the leaves are 6 or 8 inches long; then blanch the leaves by gath- 
ering them carefully together -when perfectly dry, and tying them by their 
tips in a conical form with Raffea to exclude light and air. From 3 to 6 
weeks is required to thoroughly blanch. One ounce of seed will sow a bed
