HERBS— Aromatic and Medicinal 
Culture—A very small place in your garden will supply your needs. Back in revolutionary 
days the herbs were of the utmost importance and in planting them we bring back not only 
interesting culture but one of important historical precedent. Plant sparingly in warm soil, 
covering lightly and transplanting when well up. Cut just before they blossom and compress in 
bottles, boxes or book leaves.

Throughout this catalogue many seeds are listed that have the words “‘sold out’ in 
place of the usual price. Their listing is necessary, however, because of their cultural 
direction and the possibility of their being obtainable at a later date. Therefore we do 
not think it out of order to catalogue them thusly at this time. 
Some of these varieties are obtainable even now but at prices so exorbitant as to 
be unattractive to the average garden seed buyer.
