Sweet, Medicinal and Pot Herbs from Seed 



To preserve varieties of which the leaves and stems are used, the stems should be cut from the plants just before the blossom appears 

 (leaving a few joints at the base to sprout into fresh growth), tied in small bunches and hung up to dry.

 strong in flavor, and of superior quality. It is perfectly hardy, even in New England, and attains still larger growth the second season. It
