Herbs, 
These impart a strong, spicy taste and odor, and are used in various culinary operations. 
Those marked with a * are perennial, and when once obtained may be preserved for years. 
Of such .sow the seed very carefully in seed-beds, about the middle of Spring, and in the 
ensuing Autumn or Spring transplant them to convenient situations. The others are 
annuals, or such as come to perfection the first year and die. The seeds of these may 
be sown carefully in shallow drills, middle of Spring, and when the plants are up a few 
inches thin them to proper distances. To preserve for use, dry thoroughly, rub the foliage 
almost to powder, and put in jars or bottles and cork tightly.

immediately after, in rows at ten inches apart, or thin to six inches. It is a delicate
