Endivia b Escarola, Sp. Endive is one of the best wid most wholesome salads for fall and winter use. Sow in shallow drills in Ajjril for early use, or for late use in June or July. When 2 or 3 inches high transplant into good ground, or thin out to 1 foot apart. It requires no special soil or manure, but after being transplanted must be cultivated and kept clear of weeds until it is full grown, when the blanching process begins. This is done by the leaves together into the hand and tying with yarn or bass, to the light and air from the inner leaves, which must be done when quite dry, or they will rot; in three or four weeks they will be sufficiently blanched. At the approach of winter the growing crop may be taken up carefully, with a ball of earth to each plant, and planted close together in a frame or dry cellar, when it can be used during the winter prepared and dressed like a salad.
