No ijardeii is complete without a few aromatic herbs for flavoring soups, etc. and care should be 
taken to^Cvest thcm^ propc^rly. They should be cut just before they come into full blossom and 
should be cured bv being tied iu bunches and hung up or spread thinly on a floor where they w.l dry 
qukkly 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- when up, thin the plants out so that they may 
have sufficient light and air, and not be so crowded as to 
get drawn and unhealthy. 
Varieties with a star (*) are perennials.

Tarraeon or Estraeon. (Artemisia dracunctdus.) Tarragon seldom, if ever, gives fertile seeds, 
■but is ordinarily reproduced by division of the roots. Originally from Southern Europe it is thor-

Tarragon vinegar. The foliage, if cut in autumn, can be kept in a dry state the same as other herbs.

the plants, this desirable herb should find a place in every garden. Strong roots, 20 cts. ea., $2 per doz.
