Sweet and Medicinal Herbs. 



Some of these herbs possess culinar}' as well as medicinal properties. Should be 

 found in every garden. Ground where they are to be sown should be well prepared and 

 pulverized. Some of them have very fine seed, and it is only necessary, after the seed is 

 sown, to press the ground with the back of the spade; if covered too deeply they cannot 

 •come up. Early spring is the best time to sow them— some, such as Sage, Rosemary, La- 

 vender and Basil, are best sown iia a frame and afterwards transplanted into the garden.

Farmers' Book on Grasses. 



As the compass of this Seed Annual is too small to give full description of the different 

 varieties of Forage Plants which are listed by us, we would advise our patrons to consult 

 ^'Dr. D. G. Phares' Farmers' Book on Grasses.'" It is the most valuable work of this 

 kind ever published in the South, and should be in the hands of every one who takes an 

 interest in the cultivation of grasses.
