We herewith give special cultural instructions for this fine salad. Chicory. Along end of October, before frosts do damage, dig up roots which in good soil will grow to be 12 inches long by 3 in diameter at the crown. They somewhat resemble a well grown parsnip. Cut off the tops to within an inch of the crown of the plant. Trim roots at base so that altogether they do not exceed 8 inches in length. Secure a strong box 12 to 14 inches deep, laying it on the side and packing trimmed roots in it layer fashion. Turn right side up and fill in with soil or sand and place in the cellar. Build up the sides of the box 6 or 8 inches and fill in with dry leaves, shav- ings, excelsior, or any other material of that sort. Water about once a week. Roots treat- ed in this fashion about November 1st will yield beautiful creamy white sprouts of delicious salad in time for Christmas dinner. If when cutting care is taken not T to cut into the crown, new shoots will be sent up throughout the jtitf
