HERBS 
SWEET SCENTED, CULINARY AND 
MEDICINAL 
Due to the rapidly increasing popularity of Herb 
Gardens in this Country at the present, and to meet 
the demand, we have raised a fine collection of the most 
attractive and useful varieties most suitable for cook- 
ing, flavoring, sweet smelling and ornamental uses. 
There was not a lady in our grandmothers’ time that 
did not have her Herb garden to pick from to make her 
dill-tea and diet drinks from plants of her own growing; 
and there is a prettiness about our Thyme, Sage, Mint 
and Marjoram, also Lavender, Rosemary and Rue, and 
the feathery Fennel and bright blue Borage. All of them 
are attractive bushy plants and a strip for the Herbery 
half-way between the flower and vegetable garden 
would be a very suitable and convenient location. 
Herbs are of easy culture, and will grow in most any 
location as long as they receive normal care and sun 
shine. 
Like being able to gather fresh vegetables and flowers, 
to gather fresh green Herbs is most delightful and com- 
lete. What could be nicer than to be able to pick fresh 
Mints and Borage for your Summer cool and Winter hot 
drinks, and fresh Thyme, Sage, Savory, Basil and 
Chives, etc., for sauces and seasonings and dressings. 
Then there is the lovely Lavender and Rosemary for 
old-fashioned bouquets and nosegays, also the Lavender 
for scenting your linens. 
Then again when winter comes and the tender an- 
nuals have been frosted, what pleasure there would be 
to have fresh green Herbs growing in your window 
boxes in the kitchen. This is becoming very popular and 
the varieties we would suggest are Thyme, Sage, Mints, 
Basil, Lavender, Marjoram, Rosemary and Feverfew. 
There are so many wonderful uses for these little 
plants that no one should be without them at any time 
in the dried or fresh form, and for your convenience we 
give you herewith a list of the best kinds to grow and 
an idea of their uses.
