unless otherwise noted are: 
3 of any one kind for 85 cts.; $3 per doz.; 
40 cts. each. 6 plants of a kind at the dozen 
rate. 
Fashions change, and so do gardening 
trends. Again we find the old-time herbs of 
our grandmothers’ gardens in favor. Ameri- 
can homemakers are rediscovering the prac- 
tical value of herbs in cooking, and realizing 
that beauty and fragrance may be added to 
their flower borders by the planting of un- 
usual, decorative, and fragrant herbs. 
Most herbs have simple requirements. 
Average, well-drained soil in full sun will 
suit most varieties listed, unless otherwise 
noted. May we suggest that the culinary 
herbs especially be planted where you will 
have easy and frequent access to them. Then, 
as the occasion arises, you may easily secure 
a few fresh leaves for your cooking needs, and 
many a delightful, appetizing dish will grace 
your table.
