GLYCYRRHI'ZA GLA'BRA CULTURE. Common 

 Liquorice or Spanish Liquorice. 



Soil and Situation. It thrives best in a rich, light soil, 

 two or three feet deep, which should be trenched com- 

 pletely to the bottom before planting, and a little well- 

 decomposed manure turned in with the bottom spit. In 

 shallow or poor ground it will not succeed : the situation 

 cannot be too open. 



Planting. It is propagated by cuttings of the side- 

 roots, which spring from the crown of the plants, and 

 run horizontally just beneath the surface. Plant in 

 January, February, or early hi March. Each set, having 

 a bud or two, should be about two inches beneath the 

 surface. The only cultivation they require is to be 

 frequently hoed, and in autumn the decayed stalks to 

 be cut down, and the earth stirred between the rows. 



The roots are not fit for use until of three or four 

 years' growth. The season for taking them up is Decem- 

 ber, January, or February. A trench must be dug up 

 regularly along each row, quite down to the extremity 

 of the principal roots, which descend two feet and more.
