THE generality of Aromatic, Sweet, and Medicinal herbs, 

 may be raised from seed sown in March and April. The 

 greater part of the above described plants are Perennial, and 

 will multiply from seeds they drop, or from partings from 

 the roots. The offsets, roots, or young plants thus raised, 

 should be planted at suitable distances from each other 

 early in the Spring. 



The beds should be afterwards kept free from weeds, and 

 as the herbs come into flower, they should be cut on a dry 

 day, and spread in a shady place to dry for Winter use. The 

 best way to preserve them after they are dried, is to rub 

 them, so as to pass them through a sieve, then pack them in 

 bottles or boxes, each kind separate ; they should be after- 

 wards kept in a dry place.
