 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 )iroj)er distances, or transplant. No garden is complete without a few 

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