HERBACEOUS PLANTS are those perennials which 

 lose their stems annually, whilst the roots continue alive 

 in the earth. The root leaves may die away, or they 

 may remain green through the winter, and be termed 

 evergreen herbs, or evergreen herbaceous plants. In a 

 botanical sense, all plants not woody are herbaceous, 

 and include annuals and bulbs. 



HERBA'RIUM. A collection of plants, dried and pre- 

 served for botanical purposes. 



HERBARY was a department of the garden formerly 

 much more cultivated than at present, when the more 

 potent medicinal plants of hotter climates are so easily 

 procurable. The following is a list of the tenants of the 

 herbary, the appropriate cultivation of which will be 

 found under their particular titles : Angelica, Balm. 

 Basil, Blessed Thistle, Borage, Burnet, Caraway, Chamo- 

 mile, Chervil, Coriander, Dill, Hyssop, Lavender, 

 Liquorice, Marigold, Marjoram, Mint, Pennyroyal, 

 Peppermint, Purslane, Rue, Sage, Savory, Scurvy Grass, 

 Tansy, Tarragon, Thyme, Wormwood.
