A crop may either be raised from seed or offsets; if from the former, sow in March or the beginning of April, and when the plants come up, whether in rows or broadcast, thin them, so as nine or ten square inches may be allowed to each plant.

This genus is called Honewort, from its being used formerly to cure a swelling in the cheek called the Hone. 648. Cicuta. A word used by Virgil (Ecl. 2 and 5.), but of unknown meaning. C. virosa is poisonous to mankind and kine, but not to horses, sheep, or goats; the smell being weak in the spring, cows are apt to be killed by it, but afterwards the odour enables them to avoid it. C. maculata is used in medicine like Conium maculatum. 649. Conium. Said by Linnæus to be derived from KOVIS, powder, dust but the application of the term is not evident. C. maculatum is a well known poisonous plant, lately admitted into the Materia Medica. Acevident. C. maculatum is a well known poisonous plant, lately admitted into the Materia Medica. According to Linnæus, sheep eat the leaves, but horses, cows, and goats refuse them. Ray informs us, that the thrush will feed upon the seeds, even when corn is to be had. Curtis says hemlock is eaten by few or no insects. The dried fistulous stalks of this and several other umbelliferous plants are called by the country people kecksies. As a medicine, hemlock seems to act on the constitution in a great measure like opium. 650. Smyrnium. Σμuρva, is a synonym of μuρρa, myrrh. Its juice smells like myrrh, saith Pliny.

S. perfoliatum and olusatrum are or may be cultivated as Asparaginous and salad plants, though they are now almost entirely supplanted by the celery, which they somewhat resemble in flavour. The seeds are sown in March in rows two feet apart, and afterwards thinned out to six inches. As the plants advance, they are earthed up like celery, and, like it, are ready for use during autumn and winter. Olusatrum is from olus, pot-herb , and atrum, black, from the dark colour of its foliage. Our English name, Alexanders, is certainly a mere corruption of Olusatrum. 651. Apium. From apon, water, in Celtic; ; from the place where the plant grows. A.

The curled thick-leaved variety is that most esteemed for soups and as a garnish : it is sown in drills, and should be thinned out when it is so far advanced as to shew the finer curls of the leaves. It is too commonly left to grow as it came up which makes it but a very inferior article for garnishes . The Hamburgh sort should be thinned so as each plant may occupy ten or twelve square inches of surface. A. graveolens is one of our most valuable salad plants, and is a remarkable instance of the effect of cultivation, being in its wild state, rank, coarse, and unfit to eat; and blanched in the garden, sweet, crisp, juicy, and , being in its wild state, rank, coarse, and unfit to eat ; and blanched in the garden, sweet, crisp, juicy, and of a most agreeable flavor. The green leaves are used in soups, and in Italy and the Levant, where the plant is grown, but not blanched, this is its principal application. Here both the leaves and seeds are used in soups and stews, and the blanched stalks in that way and also as a salad, either alone or in composition. One variety, the Celeriac, is grown entirely for the root or base of the leaves, which assumes a bulbous form, is solid and white, and used either in soups or as a salad.

In order to produce excellent celery, a deep rich light soil is required, and especially a soil on a dry bottom. The seed in the main crop is commonly sown in the beginning of April on a bed for transplantation the plants so in the main crop is commonly sown in the beginning of April on a bed for transplantation; the plants so raised are commonly pricked out into other beds, and placed four or six inches asunder. At eight or twelve inches height the plants so brought forward are transplanted into trenches for blanching. These trenches are small open ditches of from six inches to a foot deep, and they are dug from two and a half to three feet apart from each other, in order to admit of earthing up the plants to the height of two feet or more above the natural surface. The excavated earth is laid in the intervals , and some dung is dug into the bottom of the trenches. Along these the plants are inserted at four or five inches apart, and as they grow, the earth from the sides of the trenches and from the wide intervals between them is applied to the plants in small layers at a time, till at the end of the autumn the ditches have become banks two or three feet high. The celery is now fit to use, and by earlier and later crops this salad is had in perfection from August or September till May following. Cel Celery is grown to great perfection in Lancashire, where blanched stalks have been dug up four feet six inches long, and weighing nine or more pounds, of the best quality. A variety of modes of cultivating the celery are brought together in the Encyclopædia of Gardening, which well deserve the perusal of those who aim at growing this root in the best manner. 652. Ægopodium. From aiξ aiγoς, a goat, and πες, a foot. Each of the parts of the leaf is split so as to resemble the cloven foot of a goat. The leaves of E. Podagraria smell like those of Angelica, and may be eaten in spring salads. 653. Meum. From μεiov, very small, in allusion to the extreme delicacy of the leaves, which are as fine as hairs. 654.
