MEDICINAL HERBS. 
i 
A well-assorted selection of the various kinds of herbs should have a place in every garden. The ; r 
value in seasoning and flavoring is well known and appreciated. Some kinds are aromatic, while oth¬ 
ers are used for medicinal purposes. Care should be taken to harvest on a dry day, just before they 
fully blossom. They may be sown in a sheltered, well-prepared border, merely deep enough to cover 
the seeds. When the plants appear, they should be thinned out to a foot apart. Water carefully with 
a fine rose watering pot, and keep the surface soil loose. A slight mulching of fine litter will be 
found beneficial the first summer. All can be supplied in pkts. at 5c each; 50c per dozen pkts.
