Endive

This plant has long been cultivated as a garden vegetable. The cut-leaved or "curled" endive is preferred for the table in this country, but the dwarf white Batavian endive is much more delicate and agreeable to the palate. The seed is usually sown in Britain from the middle of May to the end of June, and by a little care plants may be kept fit for use almost all the winter.
