GLYCYRRHI'ZA GLA'BEA CULTURE 

 Common 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 Avith the bottom spit. In 

 shallow or poor ground it Avill not suc- 

 ceed : the situation cannot be too open. 



Planting. It is propagated by cut- 

 tings 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 in 

 March. Each set, having a bud or 

 tAvo, should be about two inches be- 

 neath the surface. The only cultiva- 

 tion 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 December, 

 January, or February. A trench must 

 be dug regularly along each row, quite 

 down to the extremity of the principal 

 roots, Avhich descend tAvo feet and 

 more.

 a German naturalist. Nat. ord., T'er-
