For this reason a light dry soil is best for it. It is. Common Maejoeam. easily propagated by division of the roots during the month of February or March. Each plant should be from eight to twelve inches apart, and it is well to tread around the plants in the late autumn, should the soil be at all loose, to make it firm, so that less latent moisture may be maintained around their base during the winter months.
