PARSLEY, Persil—F r. Petersille—GER.

Sow one of the earliest sorts, says Daniel O’Rourke, as soon as the soil will work after frost and at the same time a late -sort, say Champion of Eng- land, or Dwarf Marrowfat. The latter will give a first succession, and re- peated sowings once in two weeks, of the latter sorts, will insure a regular supply. After the first of June, sowing should be discontinued until the middle of August, which, if an early sort, will generally secure a good crop. Sow thinly, in 1 trenches six inches wide, two inches deep, and three to five feet apart, according to height.

SWEET HERBS,

No garden is complete without a few sweet, aromatic, or medicinal herbs, for flavoringgsoups, &c., and pains should be taken to harvest them properly. This should be done on a dry day, just before they come in full blossom, then dried quickly and packed closely, entirely excluded from the air. Sow in spring, in shallow drills one foot apart, and well up thin out ‘or transplant a few inches asunder.
