Herbs 
Herbs delight in a rich, mellow soil. Sow in early spring in shallow 
drills one foot apart; cover lightly with fine soil, and when up a few 
inches thin out, or transplant into prepared beds. Care should be taken 
to harvest properly. Do this on a dry day, just before they come into 
full blossom; dry quickly in the shade, pack closely in bottles or dry 
boxes to exclude the air. Varieties marked (*) are perennials.
