CTTLTUBE. — Some of these herbs possess culinary 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, Lavender and Basil, are best sown in a frame and afterwards trans- 

 planted into the garden.
