ENDIVE—(Continued) 
DEEP HEART FRINGED 87 Days 
This is an entirely new type of endive ranging between Full Heart and 
Green Curled. Is more upright in growth than either and leaves are broader 
than Green Curled. The color is nearly the same as Green Curled having the 
leaf edges as deeply cut and curled. The outer leaves turn upward and is 
much less likely to have bottom rot than other varieties. Hearts are well 
filled, compact, with an abundance of fine leaves which blanch to beautiful 
creamy yellow. Plants are usually 10 to 12 inches across and 8 inches deep. 
FULL HEART—Escarolle 87 Days 
A distinctly improved type of Broad Leaved Batavian. Large, thick, dark 
green leaves curled only on the edges. Forms a large compact head which 
blanches to a beautiful light yellow and is of the finest quality. Flavor very 
mild and without bitterness. Excellent for salads and also desirable for soups 
and stews. 
GREEN CURLED RUFFEC—Green Ribbed 95 Days 
A variety with deeply cut margins. Medium large and blanches well at the 
heart. Mid-ribs pale green, thick and tender. 
Large Green Curled—Pink Ribbed 92 Days 
An early vigorous growing variety having the midribs of its outer leaves usu- 
ally tinged with rose. The dense mass of finely cut leaves formed in the 
center, blanches readily to a rich cream color. Much used for salads. 
FENNEL or FINOCCHIO 
A packet will sow 25 feet of row, an ounce 150 feet. 
CULTURE. Sow early in spring, in rich, well prepared soil, in drills two feet apart and cover 
one-fourth to one-half inch deep. When the plants are about two inches high thin to ten inches 
apart in the row. When half grown, if the plants are earthed up and treated as celery, the stems 
will be nearly as white, crisp and palatable. Hardy annual, two to four feet high. 
Florence 
A bulb like vegetable which is formed above the ground at the base of the leaf 
stalk if the plant is well grown. Blanched and boiled it has a slightly aromatic 
odor and pleasant taste. Plant very branching, upright with dense thread- 
like foliage. This is quite distinct from the common Sweet Fennel used for 
flavoring.
