 TARRAGON. (Artemi'sia dracu'ncuius.) 

 Used in salads to correct the coldness of 

 the other herbs ; and its leaves are ex- 

 cellent when pickled. 



Soil Poor, dry soil is essential to pro- 

 duce it in perfection, and hardy. 



Propagated by parting the roots. ^ To 

 have green Tarragon during the winter 

 and spring, strong-rooted plants must be 

 planted, small portions at a time, once 

 or twice a month, from the close of Oc- 

 tober to the end of January. For the 

 main crop, it may be planted any time 

 from the end of February until the con- 

 clusion of May. 



Plant ten inches apart, and, if dry 

 weather, water must be given regularly 

 every evening until they are rooted. 

 They soon establish themselves, ana 

 may be gathered from the same year. As 

 they run up, the stems should be cut 

 down, which causes them to shoot afresh. 

 At the end of autumn, if some estab- 

 lished plants are set beneath a soutb 

 fence, they will often afford leaves 

 throughout the \vmter, or, at all events,
