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

 germination, soak the seed a few hours in warm water, or sprout in damp earth, and sow when it swells or bursts. For winter use pro- 

 tect in a frame or light cellar. One ounce of seed for 150 feet of drill. Plants offered on page 212.
