Nursery stock Massachusetts Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Kitchen gardens Catalogs. yULTXVATOR'S UIDE. ENDIVE (CincoRicM Endivia). Gennan, Endivicn. â French, Chicoree.âSpanish, Endvia. The f^rden Endive is a native of Northern China, and has been cultivated in Europe tha past three centuries for a winter salad. The French are particularly fond of it, using it raw, pickled, fried, and boiled, esteeming it exceedingly wholesome in every form. Culture*â For the early crop, sow about the 1st of July. It will do on the gi-ound where early Cabbages or Peas have come off, by giving it a coat of manure. Draw drills the depth of the hoe, one foot apart, and sow therein; sprinkle a little earth in the bottom of the drill, sufficient to cover the seed, ^Yhich will be up ni a few days. Thin them out, when about two inches high, to ten inches apart; hoe freely, and keep clear of weeds. Being grown in these shallow drills, they are more easily earthed up, and grow better in warm, dry weather. When tha leaves have attained about eight inches long, they are fit for blanching; for this purpose a dry day must be chosen. Gather up the leaves in your hand, in a close and rounded form; see that there is no earth or litter in their centre. Tie them up with a ^ piece of cotton twist or matting, which is to go several times round the plant, causmg it to â close at the top to prevent the rain from penetrating to and injuring its centre; then draw a little earth round its base for support. per oz.
