in colder sections the seeds mature early the second sum- 
mer. They grow in heads or umbels. 
CHERVIL resembles a fine leaved parsley and tastes 
something like parsley and fennel combined. Sow the seed 
in early spring in rich well-prepared garden soil. It will 
sometimes be two or three weeks before the plants will 
appear, but they will then make rapid growth. 
CHIVES, a small member of the onion family, has small 
grass-like leaves and pretty purple flower-heads. The young 
tender leaves have a delicate, pleasing flavor like that of a 
very mild onion; they may be cut freely for they continue 
to send up new shoots. Chives grow readily from seed in 
rich garden soil. The plants are perennial and live from 
year to year. One or two clumps may be potted in fall for 
winter use. 
CORIANDER has flowers tinted with pale rose, and 
foliage of soft green. Plant seed outdoors in spring, and 
thin the plants to about 18 inches apart. The seeds which 
grow in clusters are somewhat unpleasant smelling when 
green, but when ripe they are deliciously like orange in odor 
and taste. 
DILL grows rapidly, and by sowing seed early the 
matured seeds which grow in umbels like caraway will be 
ready for use the first year. The plants grow tall and should 
be thinned to from 12 to 15 inches apart when young. 
Both foliage and seeds are used for flavoring. 
LAVENDER is one of the few herbs that for best results 
should be started indoors and later transplanted. Lavender 
is grown almost entirely for its fragrance, fresh and dried.
