PARSLEY PERIL
Among curious superstitions relating to plants that which is attached to parsley is one of the strangest. Owners of gardens can : always find neighbours who will accept anything from a cabbage to a cabbage rose, but with parsley the case is altered. A correspondent states that he has tried ‘to find a home for his surplus parsley plants, but he has failed to induce anyone to take them. Invariably they were refused, and always with the same excuse—that parsley transplanted into another person’s garden meant sure death before the new owner had time to eat it.
