SWEET, POT and MEDICINAL HERBS. 
Every garden should contain a few herbs for culinary or medicinal purposes. The chief point 
is to harvest them properly, which should be done on a dry day, when not quite in full bloom, 
then dried quickly and packed closely, and entirely excluded from the air. Sow early in spring in 
shallow drills one foot apart, and when well up, thin out or transplant to a proper distance apart.
