HERBS 
Does the new style of herb gardening appeal to you? Much interest is now being taken in the 
medicinal and sweet herbs which grew in Colonial gardens. Herbs have peculiar histories, and 
we find many recipes for their use in the old garden books and herbals. They were used medi¬ 
cinally to cure anything from indigestion to melancholy. Today thyme, marjoram, parsley, and 
sage are grown in kitchen gardens for garnishing, and for seasoning meats, poultry, soups, and 
sauces; others, such as rosemary, lavender, and lemon verbena, are liked for their pleasantly- 
scented foliage. If you are interested, send for our Herb List; it describes many quaint and 
unusual varieties.
