ENDIVE. 
German, Ettdivien. —French, Chicoree. Spanish, Endivta. 
Sow for an early supply about the middle of April. As it is used mostly in the fall months, 
the main sowings are made in June and July, from which plantations are formed at one foot apart 
each way, in August and September. It requires no special soil or manure, and after planting is 
kept clear of weeds until the plant has attained its full size, when the process of blanching begins. 
Gather up the leaves and tie them by their tips in a conical form with bass matting. The inner 
leaves, in the course of from three to six weeks, according to the temperature at the time, become 
blanched.

' GARLIC. 
German, Knoblauch .—French, Ail, —Spanish, A jo. 
A species of onion propagated by off-sets ; used for flavoring soups, stews, and other dishes. 
Divide a bulb into small parts and plant them in early spring, in rows one foot apart, and from 
one to five inches between the plants in the rows. The crop matures in August, when it is har¬ 
vested like the onion.

KOHL-RABI. 
German, Kohl-Rabi. —French, Chou-Rave. —Spanish, Col de nabo. 
Kohl-Rabi, or Turnip-Stemmed Cabbage is a vegetable that is not so much cultivated as it 
deserves to be. The stem above the ground swells into a bulb somewhat resembling a turnip; 
this again is crowned with leaves. The edible part is the bulb, which is dressed and served like 
turnips, and is very delicate and tender. The seeds may be sown at the same period as the Swe¬ 
dish or Ruta Baga Turnip, and may be cultivated in the same way, remembering to leave the chief 
part of the stems uncovered by the earth. The bulbs may be kept sound and nutritious until late 
in the spring—even later than those of the Swedes. 
Early White Vienna, flesh white and tender ; the best market sort, excellent 
for table use. 
Early Purple Vienna, differing from the above in color, which is of a bluish 
purple.. . . 
LEEK. 
German, Lauch. —French, Poireau. —Spanish, Puerro. 
Sow in April on a well-prepared piece of ground and transplant in June into rows fifteen 
inches apart, and four or six inches from each other in the rows. Hoe up the earth about the 
stems as they continue to grow so as to blanch them and make them tender. Cutting off the tops 
of the leaves three or four different times in the season is beneficial, as it makes them throw out 
new heart leaves. The soil should be rich but not fresh manured.

Large Flag, (imported), a large growing variety, with broad, thick leaves. 05 
Giant Carentan, a mammoth growing variety of excellent quality.10 
Musselburgh, grows to a large size. .10 
LETTUCE. 
German, Lattich-Salad. —French, Laitue. —Spanish, Lechuga. 
Lettuce is easy of cultivation, but likes a good, rich soil. For early use sow under glass in 
February and March, and transplant in a well-prepared bed as soon as the ground can be worked. 
Later sowings may be made in the open ground, at intervals of two weeks, for succession, as long 
as the weather permits; thin out well and set in rows two feet apart and afoot between the 
plants. Lettuce requires good ground and abundant moisture.
