a carrot, and is about the thickness of a man s
finger ; when the outer rind has been scraped

bitter flavour ; then boiled or stewed the same
as carrots or parsneps. The roots are fit for
nse from August till the following spring.

Linn, 14, Or. 2, Nat Or. Lamiàcea. From
the plants being for the most part very handsome
when in flower, they are well suited
for ornamenting the front of the flower-border.
They grow in any common garden soil, and
increase readily by seeds and divisions ; the
shrubby species may be readily multiplied by
young cuttings. The greenhouse and frame
species require protection only in winter.
