HERBS. 
Cultivation. — A few Pot Herbs should have a place in every vegetable garden. Every cook and every good housekeeper 
knows the value of the little patch on which she makes daily raids in the summer, and which furnishes such a nice collection of 
dried herbs for winter seasoning. A very small space will grow all the herbs needed in any family. Their culture is very simple, 
and the best way is to make a little seed-bed in the early spring, and set the plants out as soon as large enough in a bed. Care 
must be taken to harvest them properly : this should be done on a dry day, just as they come into full blossom. Tie them up in 
small bunches and hang in the shade to dry, and then wrap up in paper and stow in some air-tight vessel, or rub the leaves to a 
powder and pack in bottles and cork tightly ; they will keep for any length of time.
