In borders and irregular parts of the garden it will 
prove profitable and pleasurable to grow a few herbs. 
Their use gives new and unusual flavors, pleasing aromas 
and perfumes and some medicines that are as serviceable 
as can be purchased. Exact cultural directions suited to 
them all is impossible. Give them generally the care 
given vegetables or flowers. Where the foliage is to be 
used, cut the young stems on a dry day, wilt in the sun, 
dry in the shade and either hang up in bunches or store 
in air-tight glass jars.
