BALM (Melissa officinalis) 
Only a few plants, two to five, will sup- 
ply an ordinary family. It is used with other 
herbs in various ways or can be used along 
with Borage in summer drinks. The dried 
leaves are used in stuffings as well as in 
pot-pourri.,A crushed leaf emits the sweet- 
est odor of all herbs. 
It is very easily grown; sow seeds early in 
the spring, spacing plants in the permanent 
place to about 12 inches apart. 
They require full sunshine. Cut off the 
old shoots in the fall and tidy up the bed 
occasionally. It is a perennial. 
THYMUS HERBA-BARONA 
This is a dark looking creeping plant 
whose foliage smells strongly of caraway 
seeds. 
It can be used in seasoning beef, but is 
more of a novelty. We do not have seed 
of this but would like to hear from any read- 
er who happens to be growing it. 
PLANTING LILY SEED 
When planting Lily seed, it is best not to 
sow too thickly because of the roots tending 
to mat together. When they are transplant- 
ed, much damage is done in seperating them. 
THE HAWAIIAN JADE TREE 
Hawaiian Jade Tree or Naupaka (Scae- 
vola frutescens var. sericea), a beautiful 
three foot shrub, both flowers and fruit white, 
not edible. It will grow anywhere but is es- 
pecially good for beach planting, in sand. 
For the far South. 
By Otto Degener, Hawaii. 
GOING TO FLORIDA THIS WINTER? 
Sure! But don’t sit down and lose int- 
erest in life. Plant some seed of the many 
beautiful flowering trees and shrubs, that can 
only be grown in Florida (or southern Cal- 
ifornia). 
One never will have time to think of get- 
ting old when he has a lot of seedlings com- 
ing on; he must see them come into flower! 
Plan on starting some this year and better 
get the seeds early so as not to lose any time.
