HERBS (Pot, Sweet, and Medicinal). 



These are valuable for culinary and medicinal purposes, and should be found in all gardens. 

 They are easily grown, and, when preserved by drying, are ready for use at any season of the year. 

 Nearly all require the same treatment, and one direction will answer for all. Plant in spring, 

 when the ground is warm, in drills, covering lightly. When the plants are well up, thin out or 

 transplant. Select a sunny day for cutting, and spread thinly in the shade till dry ; then pack in 

 papers, or pulverize and keep in closely corked bottles. The perennial kinds should occasionally 

 be divided, and transplanted in spring.
