CULINARY HERBS 45 



No matter what the nature of the surface and the 

 exposure, it is always advisable to give the herbs 

 the most sunny spots in the garden, places where 

 shade from trees, barns, other buildings and from 

 fences cannot reach them. This is suggested be-

flavoring of most of the herbs mainly depends, is 

 best in full sunshine and the plants have more sub- 

 stance than when grown in the shade.

 in which the gardener may well make the best of 

 however bad a bargain he has.
