Origanum vulgare— pot marjoram. Strewn on 
the floors as a disinfectant it filled medieval 
churches with its fragrance of heliotrope and spice. 
White or pink flowers. Ordinary soil. Sun. 
Anthemis nobilis— camomile. Once thought a 
panacea for all complexion woes, its extract stood 
on the dressing table of every grande dame. 
Spreads over the ground in leafy mosslike mats. 
Dry soil. Sun. 
Artemisia Dracunculus— tarragon. Beloved of 
"chefs” and a constituent of fine vinegar. A small 
plant about 2' high whose leafy branches are so 
twisted they look like long wind-blown hair. Rich 
light soil. Sheltered. 
Artemisia Abrotanum — southernwood. This 
herb in the Middle Ages was credited with a 
variety of powers: it was an effective love potion, 
it cured talking in the sleep, it made hair grow. 
A feathery grey-green plant smelling of daisies 
mixed with spice. Poor soil. Sun. 
All plants $.25 each. $2.50 per dozen, unless 
otherwise marked.
