PLANTING TABLE 



AGRIMONY (Agrimonia Eupatoria). Agrimony is 

 a hardy perennial herb, grown for its astringent and 

 aromatic leaves, which were formerly much used in 

 domestic medicine. The plant is now but little grown, 

 and few seedsmen offer the seed. It is raised from seed, 

 but preferably from root-divisions. See also Feverfew. 



Soil. Any good earth. 



Distances. Rows two feet apart, plants eighteen 

 inches in the rows. 



Sow when the ground is fit, thinly, the depth about 

 an inch. Or sow in seed-bed and transplant. 



Thin when the plants are well up. 



Set roots in spring. 



P'ick as wanted when the plants are well grown, 

 or dry and store. 



Renew or root-prune when the plants show less 

 vigor.
