Endivien (Ger.) ENDIVE Endivia (It.) 
A packet of seed will sow 10 feet of row, 1 ounce 100 feet. 
Endive is used for salads, especially in autumn and winter. It is easily grown and takes 
little space in the garden. Seed can be sown any time from early spring until August 1st 
in the Northern states. For fall and winter use the seeds should not be sown until about 
July 1st. Sow in rows 18 to 24 inches apart thinning the plants to a foot apart. To 
blanch, draw the outer leaves over the center and tie them or they may be blanched by 
placing a narrow board down the center of the row over the heads. This should be done 
when the plants are nearly full grown. It is best to blanch a few at a time as wanted for use. 
GREEN CURLED PANCALIER. Full Hearted Strain. Grows larger than Green 
Curled and has somewhat less finely cut leaves. It is later in maturing but when well 
grown it forms a large full heart of line quality. When blanched, the heads are an at¬ 
tractive, delicate yellow in the heart. Used largely by market growers. Pink Ribbed.

place, throw out large tender white sprouts which are used as salad. These 
sprouts are commonly called “French Endive.”

Plant 
A packet of seed will produce about 50 plants-, an ounce about 2000 plants. 
This is a delicious vegetable which should be in every garden. It is also a profitable crop to grow for market. 
In sowing Egg Plant seed, care should be taken not to cover it more than J 4 in. deep, and to keep the tempera¬ 
ture from 70 to 90 degrees. The young plants are often injured by bugs, to prevent which it is a good plan to 
spray with arsenate of lead and lime even before the plants are set in the open ground. Plant in rows 3 feet 
apart each way. The plants do best on rather light rich soil. In the North the seed should be sown in 
March and the plants set out the last of May. 
BLACK BEAUTY. True Early Strain. This is a 
very handsome, early and prolific variety and is 
the kind grown most extensively by market 
gardeners and is the finest stock we have ever 
seen. The fruit is large and is of a deep and rich 
color. The plants are of robust growth and are 
very prolific. As it is very early. This stock 
ripens large crops before frost here in the North.
