. Improved Large-Leaved Dandelion. DANDELION. (Taraxacum Dens-Leonis.) Likvenzahn Oder Pardeblnme, Pissenbt, Fr. Amur- gon, Sp. The Dandelion is a hardy perennial plant, resembling Endive, and aflPords one of the earliest and most healthful New York Improved Egg-Plant. ENDIVE. Endivien, Ger. Chicoree, Fr. Endivia 6 Escarola, SP. 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. It requires no special soil or manure, but after being transplanted must be cultivated and kei)t clear of weeds until it is full grown, when the blnnching process begins. This is done by gathering the leaves together into the hand and tying with yarn or buss, to exclude the light and air from the inner leaves, which must be done wiien 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. Vegetable seeds sent postpaid on receipt of retail price. Grass and seeds by express or freight at purchaser's expense.
