Perfumed Gardens 
The tales that tell of the perfumed gardens of the East have always stirred 
the imarination of garden lovers.^ Straightway there are visions of rare exotic 
flowers found nowhere else. This is not the case. As a matter of fact, the 
perfumed garden of the East bears a close resemblance to the herb garden of 
New England. In both are found sweet smelling herbs, the fragrant geraniums 
and all the things which exhale a long perfume into the summer air. 
A garden of herbs is both pleasant and useful. From it can be garnered 
those nice things which serve as accents to summer eating: Tarragon, Mint, 
Sage, Chives, Sweet Marjoram and such. 
It is also a pleasant place to walk in on summer nights when the warm air 
distills all its combined sweetness into a kind of melody. 
The planting and growing of the perfumed garden, or the herb garden, 
is one of the simplest and most satisfactory parts of gardening. All varieties 
which make for its completeness need no coaxing or special care in growing. 
Because each year shows more interest in this kind of garden we have 
collected those things hallowed by tradition here in New England and added 
to them others from far away places.
