HERBS

delicate and easily choked out by weeds. Plant in drills 
16 to 18 inches apart and thin out as soon as the plants 
are large enough. 
TO PRESERVE HERBS—tThe plants should be cut when 
in bloom and wilted in the sun and thoroughly dried in 
the shade and then kept in jars or bottles in order to 
preserve their seasoning and medicinal qualities.
