egenerate, as
it constantly tends to increase in size and to become less curled.

From the Dwarf Curled Parsley, by judicious cultivation and a careful
selection of plants for seed, have originated many excellent sorts of
stronger growth, yet retaining its finely curled and beautiful leaves.

MITCHELL'S MATCHLESS WINTER. _Thomp._

A fine, curled sort, larger than the Dwarf Curled; and, on account of
its remarkable hardiness, recommended as one of the best for winter
culture.

MYATT'S TRIPLE-CURLED.

Myatt's Garnishing. Myatt's Extra Fine Curled. Windsor Curled.

The leaves of this variety are large and spreading, bright-green above,
paler beneath. When true, the foliage is nearly as finely curled as that
of the Dwarf, though the plant is much larger and stronger in its
habit.

PLAIN PARSLEY. _Thomp._

Common Parsley.

The leaves of this sort are plain, or not curled; and the plant produces
them in greater quantity than the curled sorts. It is also somewhat
hardier.

For many years, it was the principal variety grown in the gardens of
this country; but has now given place to the curled sorts, which, if not
of better flavor, are generally preferred, on account of their superior
excellence for garnishing.

RENDLE'S TREBLE GARNISHING. _Trans._

A variety of the Dwarf Curled, of larger size; the leaves being as
finely curled and equally beautiful.

HAMBURG OR LARGE-ROOTED PARSLEY. _M'Int._

Turnip-rooted Parsley.

A variety of the Common Plain Parsley, with stronger foliage. Though the
leaves are sometimes used in the manner of those of the Common Parsley,
it is generally cultivated for its fusiform, fleshy roots.

To obtain these of good size and quality, the soil should not be too
rich, but deeply and thoroughly trenched. Sow the seeds in April or May,
in drills a foot or fourteen inches apart, and three-fourths of an inch
deep; and, when the seedlings are two or three inches high, thin them to
six or eight inches apart in the rows. Cultivate during the season as
carrots or parsnips; and, in October, the roots will have attained their
growth, and be suitable for use. Take them up before the ground closes,
cut off the tops within an inch or two of the crowns, pack in earth or
sand, and store in the cellar for winter.

_To raise Seeds._--Reset a few roots in April, two feet apart; or leave
a few plants in the open ground during the winter. They will blossom in
June and July, and ripen their s
