CULTURE —Endive is one of the best and most wholesome salads for fall and winter use. Sow in shallow drills in April 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. 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. 410 Broad-leaved Batavian (Escarolle). A favorite salad variety, with wide, wavy leaves edges of which are cut and irregular. Inner leaves blanch nicely to a creamy-white, tender, and of very agreeable flavor.
