The seed, generally em- ployed in cold climates, is sown in early spring, either in drills to 18 inches apart where the plants are to remain, or broadcast in nursery beds for transplanting, 12 inches asunder in June or July. Propaga- tion by cuttings and by division may be done in the autumn, but better in the spring, when the plants first start to grow. Greenwood cuttings may be started in the shade in the early summer. They need to be weD watered. The soil should be a light, mellow, calcareous or sandy loam, with a warm aspect. Culture and har- vesting are the same as for sage, mint and other herbs. The beds should be renewed every three or four years. M. G. 1120. Hyssop —Hyssopus officinalis (X V2)..
