SAGE 
Sweet Marjoram 
Witloof Chicory. 
A crisp, Winter vegetable. Sometimes called French 
Endive. This makes one of the most delicious of all salads. 
It is also an excellent dish boiled. The seed is planted in 
May or June in the open ground and in the fall the roots 
are dug. The roots are then planted in earth in a dark 
cool place in the cellar or under greenhouse bench. Finely 
balanced, crisp leaves are then thrown out, and when cut 
new leaves form. The roots keep a long time and may be 
planted so that a fresh and delicious salad may be had all 
winter. Fancy fruit and vegetable dealers have imported 
this vegetable from France on account of its delicious 
flavor. Price per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 20c.; per l /i-\b., 55c.; 
per lb., $1.75. 
Sweet, or Pot and Medicinal Herbs. 
A few pot herbs, or sweet herbs, as they are usually 
called, should have a place in every vegetable garden. A 
very small space in the garden will give all the herbs 
needed in any family. The culture is very simple, and the 
best way is to make a little seed bed in early spring and 
set the plants out as soon as large enough. As a general 
rule, it is best to cut herbs when in flower, tie them up in 
small bunches and hang in the shade to dry.
