ENDIVE (Cichorium Endivia)Often called escarole (which has wider leaves), this salad plant will succeed in any ordinary garden soil not deficient in humus and normal moisture. Like lettuce, its succulent growth must be rather rapid to enable it to form tender leaves. On poor, dry, exposed soil its growth will be slowed up so that its leaves, if they form in quantity, will be tough and unnecessarily pungent. For success in growing endive, use the same area where lettuce succeeded early in the spring, and add a thin layer of compost between the rows. Seed should be thinly sown, covered with not more than 1/3 inch of finely sifted, mature compost humus, clean sand, or a mixture of the two. To make the job easier, seed, sand and humus may be well mixed in a container and then spread along the bottom of a shallow trench.
