plant of the Mint family, found across the northern part of the country. Grows 
about 12 to 16 inches tall, with notched oval leaves, blue flowers. It has a most 
delicious anise like flavor. The Indians made a tea from it and early settlers 
used it in flavoring food. Each 35c; 3 for 95ce.

orange combined with mint. Each 25c; 3 for 65c; 12 for $2.50. 
Mint, Curly Mint, Spearmint (Mentha spicata crispa)—-Perennial. We like 
this form of the popular Mint with its dark, curly green leaves for all kinds of 
mint flavoring. This is the kind most used in the south for flavoring drinks.

quired. Perennial. Plants, Each 25c; 3 for 65c; 12 for $2.50.

rather tall. Plants, Each 25; 3 for 65ec; 12 for $2.50.

medicinal plant and used also as a tea. Tall, grey foliage, will grow most any-

more mint-like in fragrance. Plants, Each 25c; 3 for 65c; per Dozen $2.50.

ised as medicine and as an insect repellant. Each 25c; 3 for 65c; 12 for $2.50.

as a tea, either by itself or combined with Lemon Verbena. Plants, Each 25c; 3 
for 65c; per Dozen $2.50. 
Japanese Peppermint—A peppermint with an extra strong flavor, much 
used for the distilling of peppermint oil. Although of Japanese origin, it is

Mountain Mint (Pychnanthemum flexuosum)—A native plant closely related 
to the Mints, with a strong fragrance between that of Pennyroyal and Pepper- 
mint. Flat corymbs of white flowers in midsummer on erect plant 12 to 18 in. 
tall. Likes sun and well drained soil. Plants, Each 25c; 3 for 65c.

like pungency, either used alone or to add taste and flavor to other salads. Seeds,

scent. The plants trim easily to an even height so that lavender cotton is much 
used for formal beds and for old-fashioned knot gardens. A perennial, somewhat 
tender, and requires protection in the north. Each 25c; 3 for 65c; 12 for $2.00;
