21 Herbs—Miscellaneous Seeds 
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 ona dry day, just before the blossom develops, dried quickly and bottled, or closely packed in dry boxes 
with the air entirely excluded.
