KITCHEN GARDEN HERBS 
All these are perennials; all are hardy; all are for eating 
except lavender. You don’t need many plants—this is 
strong stuff and in cooking use sparingly. Remember, you 
are after a flavor, not a taste. There are many more 
herbs but these are the best ones for cooking. Plant them 
convenient to the kitchen in full sun. They are not fussy 
apout soils—but in very cold climates give them a light 
covering of salt hay or straw. (Temperatures in Litchfield 
go to as low as minus 20 degrees. We have no trouble 
even when we forget to cover. Yes, we forget things like 
that, too.) 
Chives Three $1.30, Ten $3.00 
The flower, small purple heads on 10-inch stems, appears 
in early June and is decorative. Use finely chopped leaves 
for flavoring salads or hors d‘oeuvres. Strong grower, 
reproduces itself each time it is cut back. 
Three $2.10, Ten $6.50 
Use the whole leaf or chopped leaves to brighten mid- 
summer lettuce or vegetable salads. 
Marjoram origarium vulgaris — Three $2.10, Ten $6.50 
Use leaves sparingly to flavor soups and gravies. Dry 
leaves and young shoots for winter use. This is better by 
far than what is usually sold as marjoram. 
Sage Three $2.10, Ten $6.50 
Costmary 
Dry leaves are used for flavoring meats, soups, stuffings, 
dressings.
