Herbs, in general, delight in a rich, mellow soil. Those marked with an * are perennial, and when once obtained 

 in the garden may be preserved for years with a little attention. Sow the seeds early in the spring in shallow drills, 

 1 foot apart; when up a few inches, thin out to proper distances, or transfilant. Nn garden is complete witliout a few 

 sweet, aromatic or medicinal herbs for flavoring soups, meats, etc., and care should be taken to harvest them properly. 

 This should be done on a dry day just before they come into full blossom; then dry quickly in the shade, pack close 

 in dry boxes or vessels, so as to exclude the air.
