HERBS FOR YOUR GARDEN 
During the past year Mrs. Toole has 
talked before many Garden Clubs about 
her hobby, Herbs. The many pleasant 
personal contacts and discussions added to 
much additional personal experience has 
greatly extended her knowledge of these 
interesting plants. If you have any prob¬ 
lems connected with the use or culture of 
Herbs, Mrs. Toole will be happy to share 
her experience with you. 
Herbs are divided in a general way be¬ 
tween Aromatic Herbs, grown for their 
fragrance; Savory or Pot Herbs, used as 
flavoring for other foods; and Medicinal 
Herbs used in preparing old fashioned 
remedies. A few unusual Salad Herbs 
are also offered that seem to be along the 
border line between Herbs and Vegetables. 
Herbs present no special cultural prob¬ 
lems. Most of them will be more frag¬ 
rant and produce more of their aromatic 
oils if grown in well drained soil that is 
not over rich. Practically all require full 
sun. Lovage will thrive in a very rich 
soil and the Mint family as a whole seems 
to do well where the soil is constantly 
moist. 
The annual varieties may be sown in a 
part of the vegetable garden if preferred, 
or they can be combined with the peren¬ 
nial varieties in a special Herb Garden. 
As you become more familiar with the 
use of Herbs in cooking you will find those 
varieties that fit in best with the likes 
and dislikes of your family. The more 
extended use of Herbs in cooking will help 
to solve the ever present demand for 
variety in the family menu. 
Hardy perennials are indicated by the 
abbreviation Per., tender perennials and 
biennials are so marked and anuuals are 
marked Ann. 
Mrs. Toole has prepared directions for 
the use of many of the Savory Herbs. A 
copy will be included with orders if 
requested. 
Many gardeners are starting special 
Herb Gardens, often in a formal design 
following the form of Old English Gar¬ 
dens. Others use many of the Herbs in 
Shakspeare Gardens while others grow a 
few for strictly utilitarian purposes in the 
vegetable garden or in some handy spot 
near the kitchen. 
A great many of the Herbs are orna¬ 
mental as well as useful and will find a
