Sweet, Pot and Medicinal Herbs. 



Herbs, in general, deliglit in a rich, mellow soil. Those marked with an * are perennial. Sow die seeds early in the spring 

 in shallow drills, 1 foot apart; when up a few inches thin out to proper distances, or transplant. No garden is complete without a 

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

 should be cut on a dry day just before they come into full blossom, tied in bunches, and hung up or spread thinly 

 on a floor where they can dry quickly.
