Culture. —One of the most attractive of all autumn 
and winter salads. It is commonly known in restaurants 
as Chicoree, and is especially refreshing when served 
with lettuce with plain French dressing. Sow seed 
from middle of June to last of August. When the 
plants are fully grown tie all the outside leaves together 
over the heart, to blanch the inner leaves, which will 
take about a week. Do not tie up when the leaves are 
wet as they will then decay.
