HERBS 
In borders and irregular parts of the garden it will prove profitable 
to grow a few herbs. Their use gives new and. unusual flavors, pleasing 
aromas and perfumes and some medicines that are as serviceable as can 
be purchased. Exact cultural directions suited to them all is impossible. 
Give them generally the care given vegetables or flowers. Where the 
foliage is to be used, cut the young stems on a dry day, wilt in the sun, 
dry in the shade and either hang up in bunches or store in air-tight 

glass jars.
