Seeds of Pot, Sweet, and IMedicinal 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 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.
