Witlof
Sir, —I would like to correct your statement that witlof is a Dutch cabbage. To me it sounds like calling clover a grass. Witlof is known as chicory, and Belgian endive. It is a cultivated variety of chicory, Cichorium intybus, which belongs to the family Compositae and not to the Cruciferae as cabbage does. It looks more like a white variety of cos lettuce though the flavour may resemble that of celery. For further information see N.Z. Department of Agriculture Bulletin No. 342, page 101.— Yours, etc., N.C.L. May 5, 1961.
