HERBS.
In making up your assortment of seeds for the year, don't neglect to order a few varieties of Herbs. They should have a place in every vegetable garden. Sow seed in spring in shallow drills, one foot apart, and when up, thin out and transplant to a few inches apart. The chief point is to harvest them properly, which should be done on a dry day, when not quite in full bloom, then dried quickly and packed closely, and entirely excluded from the air.
