History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
English it is called Venus' looking-glass. Ancient mirrors were always round, on which account the astro- 
logical sign of Venus was 2 » or a figure of the antique mirror and its handle. This is a shewy genus ; some 
of the species are beautiful, and all of them of easy culture in the borders of the flower garden or shrubbery. 
One or two species are used in dietetics, and probably the roots of the whole might be eaten. Almost all the 
species have long thick white roots, which abound in an acrid milky juice. 
C. rapunculus is much cultivated in France and Italy, and sometimes in Britain, for the roots, which are 
boiled tender and eaten hot with sauce, or cold with vinegar and pepper. It is sown in Spring on deep light
