SWEET, MEDICINAL AND POT HERBS, FROM SEED 
To preserve varieties of which the leaves and stems 
are used, the stems should be cut from the plants just 
before the blossom appears (leaving a few joints at the 
base to sprout into fresh growth), tied in small bunches 
and hung up to dry. Where wanted for home use it 
is preferable to leave them hanging in a cool loft or 
garret until they are needed for use. The varieties 
marked with an asterisk (*) are hardy perennials, liv¬ 
ing over from year to year, and need replanting when 
the old plants become exhausted.
