A Garden of Herbs 
Toole’s Special 
List 
During the past year Mrs. Toole has talked before many 
Garden Clubs about her hobby,/Herbs. The many pleasant 
personal contacts and discussions added to much additional 
personal experience has greatly extended her knowledge of 
these interesting plants. If y/u hai^e a^^problems connect¬ 
ed with the use or culture iof ,Herbs, Mrs. ^Toole will be 
happv to share her experience with Atom *

Herbs are divided in a general way between Aromatic 
Herbs, grown foir their fragrance; Savory ©c. Pdt Herbs, 
used as flavoring for other foods; and Medicinal Herbs 
used in preparing old fashioned remedies. A few unusual 
Salad Herbs are also offered that seem to be along the 
border line between Herbs and Vegetables. 
Herbs present no special cultural problem's. Most of 
them will be more fragrant and produce more of their 
aromlatic oils if grown in well drained soil that is not over 
rich. Practically all require full sun. Lovage will thrive in 
a very rich soil and the Mint family as a whole seems to 
do well where the soil is constantly moist. 
The annual varieties may be own in a part of the veget¬ 
able garden if preferred, or they can be combined with the 
perennial varieties in a special Herb Garden. 
As you become more familiar with the use of Herbs in 
cooking you will find those varieties that fit in best with 
the likes and dislikes of your family. The more extended 
use of Herbs in cooking will help to solve the ever present 
demand for variety in the family .menu. 
Hardy perennials are indicated by the abbraviation Per., 
tender perennials and biennials are so marked and annuals 
are marked Ann. 
Mrs. Toole has prepared directions for the use of many 
of the Savory Herbs. A copy will be included with orders 
if requested. 
Many gardeners are starting special Herb Gardens, often 
in a formal design following the foirm of Old English 
Gardens. Others use many of the Herbs in Shakspeare 
Gardens while others grow a few for strictly utilitarian 
puposes in the vegetable garden or in some handy spot 
nea!r the kitchen. 
A great many of the Herbs are ornamental as well as 
useful and will find a ready place in the mixed border or 
in the rock garden. 
Plants offered are out of 2*4 * nc h pots and are ready to 
grow along nicely in your garden. Some of the seeds are 
home grown, the others from various reliable sources. The

of a variety will be enough for any ordinary garden. 12
