Sweet-basil may be sown in early May, and the plants thinned to
one foot apart. The seeds of sweet-marjoram are very minute, and
must be covered very thinly with soil finely pulverized; sow in
April or May, when the ground is in the best condition. Sage is
easily raised from seeds gown an inch deep the latter part of
April; let the soil be warm and rich; let the plants stand about
one foot apart in the row. Thyme and summer-savory require about
the same treatment as sage. I find that some of the mountain mints
growing wild are quite as aromatic and appetizing as many of these
garden herbs.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
