ENDIVE 
One of the best salad plants, especially valuable for winter use. 
For the first crop, sow about the middle of April; for succession, 
small sowings may be made every month until August, when the 
main planting is made. Sow in shallow drills and transplant to 
1 foot apart in rows 3 feet distant. When almost full grown they 
must be bleached; this is accomplished by gathering the leaves 
and tying them at the top to keep the light and air from the inner 
leaves, which will become bleached in three or four weeks.
