The common Parfley muft be fown 

 early in the Spring ; for the Seeds 

 remain a long time in the Earth, 

 the Plants feldom appearing in lefs 

 than fix Weeks after {"owing the 

 Seeds. This Sort is generally fown 



A p 



in Drills by the Edges of Borders 

 in the Kitchen-garden, becaufe it 

 is much cafier to keep it clear from 

 Weeds, than if the Seeds are fown 

 promifcuoufly on a Border, and the 

 Parfley is foon cut : but if the Roots 

 are defired for Ufe, then the Seeds 

 muft be fown thin ; and when the 

 Plants are come up, they fhould 

 be hoed out Angle, as is pra&ifed for 

 Carrots, Onions, &c. obferving alio 

 to cut up the Weeds : if this be 

 obferved, the Roots will become 

 fit for Ufe by Augujl. 



The common Parfley is, by fome 

 fkilful Pcrfons, cultivated in Fields 

 for the Ufe of Sheep, it being a 

 fovereign Remedy to prefcrve them 

 from the Rot, provided they are 

 fed twice a Week for two or three 

 Hours each time with this Herb; 

 but Hares and Rabbets are fo fond 

 of it, that they will come from a 

 great Diftance to feed upon it; and 

 in Countries where thefe Animals 

 abound, they will dellroy it, if it 

 is not very fecurely fenced againlt 

 them ; fo that whoever has a mind 

 to have Plenty of Hares in their 

 Fields, by cultivating Parfley, wili 

 draw all the Hares of the Country 

 to them. 



The beft time for fowing it in the 

 Fields is about the Middle or Lat- 

 ter-end of February ; the Ground 

 fhould be made fine, and the Seeds 

 fown pretty thick, in Drills drawn 

 at about a Foot afunder, that the 

 Ground may be kepc hoed between 

 the Drills, to deftroy the Weeds, 

 which, if permitted to grow, will 

 foon over - run the Pariley : two 

 Bufliels of Seed will fow one Acre 

 of Land. 



The curled Parfley is fown in 

 fome curious Gardens, for garni (h- 

 ing Difhes ; the Leaves being cu- 

 rioufly furbelow'd, anfwer this Pur- 

 pofe very well, and the Herb is 

 equally
