SUCCESS IN MARKET GARDENING 



grown in certain parts of Europe for the oil, 

 which is distilled from the flowers, and is used in 

 perfumes. The plant is also quite ornamental 

 and is worthy of cultivation on this account alone. 

 Choose, if possible, a deep, mellow soil. 



MARJORAM, SWEET (Origanum Marjorana). This 

 plant is probably a native of Portugal, though 

 found in other countries of Southern Europe. It 

 is grown entirely for seasoning or flavouring pur- 

 poses; the leaves and the ends of the shoots being 

 the parts used. Sow early in the spring in any 

 good soil. 



ROSEMARY (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a native 

 of Southern Europe. Its leaves, when dried, 

 are used for seasoning. The plants may be grown 

 from seed, but the easier mode of propagation is 

 by division of the roots. A warm location should 

 be chosen. 



SAGE, COMMON (Salvia officinalis), is also a 

 native of Southern Europe. The uses to which 

 this herb is put are numerous, and too well known 

 to be enumerated. Sow in spring wherever 

 desired, and thin to six or eight inches apart in 

 the row. A well-drained soil is essential. Give 

 clean culture.
