Herbs and Medicinal Plants 
No garden is complete witliout a few aromatic herbs for flavoring soups, etc., and care should be taken 
to harvest them properly. They should be cut just before they come into full blossom, and should be cured by 
being tied in bunches and hung up or sj)read thinly on a floor where they will dry quickly. This class of plants 
does best in mellow, and not too rich soil. The best general directions for sowing are, to cover the seeds about 
twice their own thickness; wlien up, thin the plants out, so that they may have sufiicient light and air, and not 
be so crowded as to get drawn and unhealthy. Varieties with a * are perennials.
