HERBS FOR CULINARY AND MEDICINAL USE 
Herbs should have a place in every garden. Any good housekeeper knows the value of the little patch of herbs upon which she makes 
dailv drafts in the Summer, and which furnishes such a nice collection of dried herbs for Winter seasoning, while as domestic medicines 
several kinds are held in high repute. The culture is very simple; the best way is to make a little seed-bed in the early Spring, and set 
the plants out in a bed as soon as large enough. They should be harvested on a dry day, just before the blossom develops, dried quickly 
and bottled, or closely packed in dry boxes with the air entirely excluded.
