Herbs Flaio)tf o ' 
Culture. — 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 ; w'hen up, thin the plants out, so that they 
may have sufficient light and air, and not be so crowded as to get into a drawn and unhealthy condition. 
When harvesting, cut on a dry day, when not quite in full blossom. Dry quickly in the shade, and pack in 
close boxes, keeping them entirely excluded from the air. Varieties marked * are perennials, and when once 
established may be preserved in the garden for years with but little care. A bed of these useful plants is 
highly desirable at any farm or country place.
