Grape. Should be cooked with sugar and

preserving. Plants grow 3 feet high, bear

The fine seeded varieties should not be 
covered, after sowing; just press the 
ground with a board. The large, grained 
varieties, of course, are covered from 
Vi to Vz inch. Varieties of which the 
foliage is used should be picked and dried 
before the plants come into bloom. Store 
such leaves when fully dry in air-tight 
containers. The hardy varieties (peren¬ 
nials), are marked “P,” the annual va¬ 
rieties “A.”

On all seed packets I am sending out, cultural directions will be found plainly and easily legible. The items listed on this page 
are too numerous to mention detailed instructions for planting. All herbs should be sown in a light soil, cover the seeds according 
to variety as stated on the cover of every packet. At this point I would recommend that all leaves that are usually raked up in 
the fall around the place furnish an excellent starting fertilizer for young plants. Simply put su<:h leaves in a small pit in your 
garden, cover them up with soil and when they are all rotted away they make the best light soil for starting seeds of the finer 
classes, especially flower seeds. Leaf-mold, as such soil is called, contains all important elements for starting the seeds, and 
producing healthy growth, and it does not crust up and crack, as ordinary soil is apt to do.
