The garden of experience . &W^. Z?n - ^,/.- .AJ ??W/J-, The lead boy, and the flagged garden in early spring. CAaj>. X. RAIN ON THE HERBS 203 a brew of dandelion is persuasively passed his way,called Teraxicum Broth, by way of enticement tosharpen his tooth for meal-times. When hair-washing is engaging our attention the big bushesof rosemary are much besieged ; first a grand supplyof pure rain-water is drawn from the well—the hardtap water blue with alum and lime, for which wepay vast sums to the local water-rate company,is not permitted to embroil and embitter anyoneshair. The soft water is heated and a strong infusionof rosemary tips made like tea with boiling (soft)water, and this is poured over the well-rinsed headsthe very last thing before drying.
