SW^EET, POT, AND MEDICINAL HERBS. 



Every good housekeeper knows the value of a little patch of Herbs; they are of very easy cultivation 

 and should have a place in every garden. The seed should be sown in April or May, in shallow drills 

 about fifteen inches apart, and thin out if too thick when three or four inches high. As a general rule 

 it is best to cut Herbs when in flower.
