A wide variety of gifts, such as sachets, 
tea bags, herb-flavored vinegars and _pre- 
serves, can be made from the plants in your 
herb garden, for anniversary and holiday 
giving. 
New greens and savory leaves for salads 
can be gathered from the herb garden long 
after frost. Many of the plants remain ever- 
green all winter. 
Herbs are among the easiest plants to 
grow because they require no special ferti- 
lizers or watering and many live for years 
without exhausting the soil!

LEMON BASIL 
Lemon Basil is a new introduction which 
has proved its worth as the earliest flowering 
and most fragrant of the Basils. The in- 
triguing mixture of lemon, with the true 
warm spiciness of Basil, in its flavor and 
scent suggests the many uses for the leaves 
in cooking. It has an afhinity for tomato 
juice, particularly, where a little lemon 
juice is commonly added for zest. You will 
want to try Lemon Basil, to have it on 
hand, for summer salads, fish sauces, and 
vegetables, at the time when citrus fruits 
are expensive and scarce.
