May's Herbs~For Culinary and Medicinal Uses 
HOLT'S Mammoth Sage 
THE ILLUSTRATION shows a leaf of average size. The plants are 
very strong growing, the first season attaining one foot in 
height, and spreading so that a single plant covers a circular space 
three feet in diameter. The leaves are borne well above the soil, 
keeping them clean; they are very large and of unusual substance, 
strong in flavor, and of superior quality. It is perfectly hardy, 
even in New England, and attains still larger growth the second 
season. In every way the most desirable sage; it never seeds.
