Pot, Sweet and Medicinal Herbs 
A well assorted selection of the various kinds of herbs should have a place in every garden. 
Their value in seasoning and flavoring is well known and appreciated. Some kinds are aromatic, 
while others 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 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz. pkts.
