Seite 325 - Ger. A NATIVE of Italy and Syria, and long known in the English garden, where it is a hardy biennial. It is easily raised from seed, which should be sown in March, in any bed or border of common earth. Clary was formerly much used in cookery, but it is not now in much repute. A wine is sometimes made from the herb in flower, which has a flavor not unlike Frontigniac.
Seite 329 - So called from its many excellent qualities. It grows plentifully in salt marshes, and on the banks of rivers and ditches in several counties in England, or near the coast of Cornwall, Holland, France, and other countries. It is perennial, and may be easily propagated by parting the roots in autumn. Marsh-mallow abounds with a glutinous juice, with scarcely any smell or peculiar taste.

When spread regularly along the lines, they have a fine circulation of air, and pods can be pulled at all times without injuring the haulm ; and as the birds have no twigs to alight on, the portion of the crop which they otherwise would devour and destroy is saved.
