HAMBURGH PARSLEY. (Petroseli' num 

 sat i' turn, var. lattfo'lium.) 



Use. This, known also by the name 

 broad-leaved and laryc-rooted Parsley, 

 is cultivated for its root, which attains 

 the size of a middling parsnip, boiling 

 exceedingly tender and palatable. It 

 is eaten both as a sauce to flesh meat, 

 and in soups, &c. 



Sowing. Sow at montbly intervals 

 from February until the middle of 

 June, thinly in drills nine inches apart. 

 The plants appear in about a month 

 after sowing, and require to be thinned 

 to nine inches asunder. Frequent 

 hoeing is the only cultivation required. 

 By the end of July, or during August, 

 the earliest sowings will have acquired 

 a sufficient size for occasional use ; 

 but the roots seldom attain their full 

 growth until Micheelmas ; and the 

 latest crops not until the following

year. On the arrival of frost, some of 

 them must be taken up, and buried in 

 sand, in a dry situation under cover. 



To save Seed. Some plants must be 

 left where grown, and allowed to run in 

 May. Their produce will ripen in July 

 or August, then to be cut, dried, beat 

 out, and stored.
