ENDIVE 
One ounce of seed for 100 feet of drill 
One of our best salad plants. For a first 
crop sow about the middle of April; for suc- 
cession small sowings may be made every 
month till August, when the main planting is 
made. Set out the plants 1 foot apart in rows 
and when well grown blanch by folding the 
leaves. 
Broad-leaved Batavian. (Escarolle.) Full 
hearted. One of the best varieties for salads. 
Leaves broad, bright, dark green. Pkt.

Deep Heart Fringed. 90 days. Our 1940 
All-America Silver Medal winner. En- 
tirely new type of Endive, between Full 
Heart Batavian and Green Curled, but 
more upright in growth than either, and 
leaves broader than Green Curled. Outer 
leaves turn upward, making plants less 
susceptible to bottom rots than most 
Endives. Extra deep, well filled hearts 
blanch to clear creamy yellow. Pkt. 10c., 
oz. 25c., 14 Ib. 60c., lb. $2.00.
