rapidly, and occupy the entire ground, if not kept within 

 proper bounds. To prevent Caraway, Spearmint, Peppermint, 

 or any other plant from spreading, sink boards edgewise eight 

 inches in the ground, entirely around the plot where such 

 plants stand. Then destroy every plant that appears outside 

 of its proper limits. Save a small quantity of the earliest, 

 largest, and fairest of the panicles for seed, and keep the seeds 

 in small papers in open boxes in some out-building where they 

 will be dry and away from mice. When kept in a store-room 

 the vitality of the seed is frequently destroyed by being dried 

 to death.
