CULTURE— Herbs delight in a 
rich, mellow soil. Sow seeds early 
in spring in shallow drills, 1 foot 
apart; when up a few inches thin 
out to proper distance, or trans- 
plant. 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.

WILD RICE 
The plant is a stately and graceful grass, deserving to be 
better known. Recommended for borders of lakes and ponds. 
The grain is excellent for fish and WATER FOWL. Lakes and 
ponds bordered with Wild Rice are favorite resorts of SPORTS- 
MEN in the fall. Before sowing, put the seeds in coarse cotton 
bags and sink them in water for twenty-four hours. Sow in 
water from 6 in. to 5 feet deep with soft mud bottom, or low 
marshy places which are covered with water the year round. In 
running water, sow as much out of the current as possible. Wild 
Rice is very desirable for aquatic gardens, being one of the hand- 
somest of tall hardy grasses for the margins of ponds. In fish 
ponds and lakes, it purifies the water and affords a refuge to the 
small fry from the large fish, and also furnishes them with food 
from the animalculae on the stalks. Lb., 25 cts.; (post paid lb. 
35 cts.;) 10 lbs. or over, 22 cts. per lb.
