of the year when they flower. They should be given a place in the garden or rockery so 
as to be protected from the hot summer sun,

THE HERB COLUMN 
Continued from Last Page 
round the hub for temporary use. Bulbs for 
the shallots and seed for the Chervil as this 
will not transplant. The Fancy Wheel of 
decorative and fragrant herbs may include 
the ones that were used in the long-ago 
Knot Gardens and thus trim nicely to con- 
form to breadth and height. Suggested 
kinds: Germander, Gray and Green Santol- 
ina, Lavender, Rosemary, Dwarf Southern- 
wood, Hyslop and Roman Wormwood. The 
gray and green leaved herbs should be al- 
ternated in the spaces to produce an inter- 
esting dark and light pattern. The herbs 
mentioned here are all biennials or perenn- 
ials as they are more satisfactory in this 
case. However it is possible to include 
Green Bush or Purple Basil and Sweet Mar- 
joram in either the culinary or decorative 
wheel garden. 
Where winters are not severe, fall planting 
is preferable but for colder areas spring 
transplanting is recommended. It is possible, 
ofcourse, to start the herbs for the wheel 
from seeds. In most cases, these may be 
sown in the autumn (see list in September 
issue). For those willing to wait for the 
final effect, this is an econonical way to pro- 
cure plants,
