SMALL SUGAR 
Herbs are again becoming an important crop 
in the garden. 
Originally they were grown because every 
home needed the flavorings, medicine, and 
perfume which the herb bed provided. Now 
that modern science has eliminated the nec- 
essity for these uses, the herbs are grown for 
beauty and choice flavorings. 
When herbs were a necessity they were grown 
in beds or in a special garden. Herb gardens 
depended more on design for their effective- 
ness as most of the plants are green or 
grayish color with unattractive flowers. Some 
people are making small herb gardens or 
herb beds today.

to hot weather. When in the third jae

prompt picking.
