PARSLEY: a favorite kitchen herb, popular for garnishing and flavoring, for the latter purpose being sold both fresh and dried. Common Parsley is said to be native to Egypt but it is now thoroughly naturalized both here and in several European countries. The variety chiefly grown is the curly leafed type. The finest received in the Eastern markets comes from Bermuda. In addition to its flavoring qualities, parsley contains an essential oil which is mildly stimulating. Hamburg Parsley, or Turnip-Rooted Parsley, is a special variety grown in Europe for its large, white root, which is cooked in the same way as the parsnip and tastes somewhat like celeriac.
