When nearly full grown and before they are fit for the table they must be bleached. This is done by gathering the leaves together and tying with yarn or raffia to exclude the light and air from the inner leaves which must be done when quite dry or they will rot. Another method is to cover the plants with boards or slats. In three or four weeks they will be blanched. After a shower the boards must be taken off or the plants untied, to allow drying.
