Sweet Cicely, or Sweet-Scented Chervil (Myrrhis odorata, Scop., which see), indigenous to Europe on the banks of streams, is a graceful hardy perennial 3 feet tall, with very large downy grayish green, much-divided leaves, hairy stems and leafstalks, small, fragrant white flowers, and large brown seeds of transient vitality. The leaves, which have an aromatic, anise-like, sweetish flavor and odor, characteristic of the whole plant, are still occasionally employed in flavoring soups and salads, though their use as a culinary adjunct, even in Europe, is steadily declining. In American cookery, the plant is almost confined to the unassimilated distinctly foreign population. Though easily propagated by division, best results are obtained from seed sown in the autumn either spontaneously or artificially; the seedlings, which appear in the following spring, are set 2 feet apart each way in almost any ordinary garden soil. Spring-sown seed frequently fails to germinate. When once established common care will be sufficient. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
