Herb Magic 3 
Herb Magic 
“There is no question that very wonderful effects may be wrought by 
Vertues which are enveloped within the compasse of the Green Mantles 
wherewith many Plants are adorned.” — William Coles, The Art of Simpling, 
1656. 

Extreme care has been used in the preparation of these herbs to insure you 
a product that is clean and full of flavor or fragrance. All the culinary herbs 
have been carefully gathered, inspected, and sorted and washed; then placed in 
screen bottomed trays and dried under cover so as to preserve every possible 
bit of the fresh natural fragrance and flavor. After another inspection they are 
stored in air-tight containers until packaged. 
These flavorful herbs are granulated, ready to use. A folder, prepared by Mrs. 
Toole, gives many suggestions for the use of these herbs, enclosed with each order, 
on request. It will just fit your card index recipe file. 
It is not possible to give exact amounts to be used of the different herbs due to 
varying tastes. In a general way, start with a level teaspoonful for six portions 
and increase or lessen the amount according to taste, or in recipes use one scant 
teaspoon of dried herbs where a tablespoon of green herbs is called for. 
Because many people who have previously bought our herbs now have 
the glass jars for storage, we are now offering refill packages of % and 1 oz. 
size at a lower price for those who want them.
