Witloof- Chicory, or French Endive

The principal use of Witloof is as a winter salad, and it is most delicious served with French dressing and eaten like Cos lettuce. The seed should be sown in the open ground not later than June, in drills twelve to eighteen inches apart, thinning out the plants so that they will stand not closer than three inches. The plant forms long parsnip- shaped roots, and these should be lifted in the fall, cutting off the leaves and then store in soil in a cool place until wanted for forcing. The roots should be planted in a trench sixteen to eigh- teen inches deep and placed upright about one and a half to two inches apart, which will allow the neck of the root to come within nine inches of the level of the trench. The trench should be filled with a light soil, and if a quick- er growth is desired, this can be accomplished by a mulch of fresh manure about two feet deep. It requires about one month to force the roots, and the heads are cut off witha neck of .the root attached. Packet,

10c.; cz., 65c.

Tomato—Chalk’s Early Jewel

The largest, smoothest, and finest flavored extra-early bright red Tomato! Within a week to ten days as early as Sparks’ Earliana, it is even a heavier cropper, with tomatoes of larger size and sweeter flavor,—pro- duced continuously throughout the season.

The plants are of strong robust growth, with ample foliage to protect the fruits from sunscald, and not liable to blight.

The bright scarlet fruits are smoothly round, very deep, and solidly meaty, with only a few quite small seed-cells and of remarkably fine sweet fiavor. Per Packet, 10c.; 3 for _25c.

Kale, or Borecole

This is a popular boiling-green for fall, winter, and early spring use, resembling cabbage in flavor. The plant is en- tirely hardy in well-drained soil and can be grown easily from seed planted during the summer and fall months. The plants are-usually cut off for use when the leaves are six inches or more in length, but with the fine curled varieties the leaves can be gathered for use when of good size. With the Tall Sco4ch and other large-leaved varieties it is customary to pull off the lower leaves and let the plant grow on to fur- nsh a continuous supply. The sweetness and flavor of these greens are improved by freezing weather. One ounce should pipette four thousand plants. Packet, 10c.; oz., 20c.; 14

Leeks

The Leek is a very hardy plant with a sweet onion-like flavor. It does not make bulbs, but the plant has a long thick neck somewhat resembling the young growth of the onion in the spring. These necks or stems are blanched in the fall by drawing the earth up about them as the plants increase in growth; or they may be taken up and set in trenches in the same manner as celery for blanching. The flavor is greatly improved by freezing, and the large stems can be kept in ex- cellent condition until well on in the spring. One ounce will plant 100 feet of row. Packet 10 cts.
