CULTURE. Used for garnishing and seasoning soups, meats, etc. Succeeds best in a mellow, rich soil. Sow thickly early 

 in April fn row's 1 foot apart and ^-inch deep; thin out the plants to stand 6 inches apart in the rows. The seed is slow of 

 germination, taking from tliree to fo'ur weeks to make its appearance, and often failing to come up in dry weather. To assist its

 winter use protect in a frame or light cellar.
