Of superior flavor One ounce will sow 60 square feet; three pounds will plant an acre. —Endive seed retains its vitality for two years. CULTURE.—Rich soil is best adapted for this crop. Scatter the seed thinly and cover it lightly. When large enough, thin out the plants to eight or nine inches apart, and in dry seasons water freely, to keep them in a quick-growing, crisp and brittle state. Sow in drills or broadcast early in Spring for first crop, and in midsummer for late use, or in the extreme South in September or October. When the leaves are eight or ten inches long, tie them together with bast. This excludes light from the heart, which becomes blanched in from three to six weeks. Full paper. Per oz. Per K lb.
