Angelica [Angelica Archan-gelica.) Stalks cut in May, for candying. Formerly blanched and eaten like celery.

Soil And Situation

It may be grown in any soil and exposure, hut best in moist situations, consequently the banks of ponds, ditches, etc, are usually allotted to it.

Time Of Sowing

Sow soon after the seed is ripe, about September, being almost useless if preserved until the spring; if, however, neglected until that season, the earlier it is inserted the better.

Mode Of Cultivation

Sow moderately thin, in drills a loot asunder, and half an inch deep. When arrived at a height of five or six inches, the plants must be thinned, and those removed transplanted, to a distance of at least two feet and a half from each other, either in a bed, or on the sides of ditches, etc. Water in abundance must be given at the time of removal, as well as until they are established; but it is better to discontinue it during their further growth, unless the application is regular and frequent. In the May, or early June of the second year, they flower, when they must be cut down, which causes them to sprout again, and if this is carefully attended to, they will con-tinue for three or four years; but if permitted to run to seed, they perish soon after.

Seed

A little seed should be saved annually, as a resource in case of any accidental destruction of the crop.
