ENDIVE. 
For early use sow as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring, in drills fifteen inches apart, and thin plants to six or eight inches 
in the row. A succession may be obtained by sowing every two or three weeks until midsummer, when it will be proper time to plant for 
fall and winter use. Any common garden soil will do, but a rather moist situation is preferable. To blanch the leaves gather them care¬ 
fully together when perfectly dry-and tie with matting or any soft fibrous material. Another method is to invert flower pots over the plants. 
The leaves are very highly esteemed for use as salads.
