This is a message about herbs as it appears in our 
retail catalogue. We are repeating it here for your 
interest. 
Fashions change—so do gardening trends. Again 
we find the old-time herbs of our grandmother’s gar- 
dens in favor. American homemakers are re-discover- 
ing the practical value of herbs in cooking, and reali- 
zing that beauty and fragrance may be added to their 
flower borders by the planting of the unusual, decora- 
tive, 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. Thus, 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. 
In using herbs for seasoning, one basic rule applies: 
“Use a light hand”. Do not overpower the real taste 
of the food you are seasoning with the herb flavor.
