Herbs for Culinary and Medicinal Use 
Herbs should have a place in every garden. Any good housekeeper knows the value of the little patch of herbs upon 
which she makes daily drafts in the summer, and which furnishes such a nice collection of dried herbs for winter seasoning, 
while as domestic medicines several kinds are held in high repute. The culture is very simple; the best way is to make a 
little seed-bed in the early spring, and set the plants out in a bed as soon as large enough. They should be harvested on a 
dry day, just before the blossom develops, dried quickly and bottled, or closely packed in dry boxes with the air entirely 
excluded.
