and 4-5 broad: floral leaves membranous, white at the base, 
and red at top, comose. Corolla white, tinged with purple. In 
the cultivated specimens the leaves are more glabrous than in 
the wild specimens. 
This plant is called Orvale by the French; Scharlach- kraut 
by the Germans ; Schlarea by the Italians; and Clary by the 
English. The leaves are sometimes used in soups, though 
many dislike its scent. Its flowers are used for a fermented 
wine ; and the whole plant is, like sage, esteemed medicinal, 
Clary is reared from seed, and sometimes from cuttings and 
slips. A small bed will supply most families ; and if raised 
from seed, a quarter of an ounce will suffice for a seed-bed to 
be transplanted from 2 feet by 2. Sow in the last fortnight of 
March or the course of April, in any bed or border thinly, and 
rake in the seed. In summer, when the plants are advanced 2 
or 3 inches, transplant a portion of the strongest from 12 to 18 
inches apart, to allow competent room for the leaves to spread, 
when they will be fit for use the same year, and in continuation 
through winter until the following spring and summer. In the 
spring allot some old plants to run up into stalks, these will 
yield ripe seed in autumn.
