As cultivated Tarragon rarely produces viable seed, the plant is propagated by cuttings of both old and green wood and by di- vision of the roots. Cuttings may be taken at any convenient time, but the best time for di- vision is when the plants have just commenced to grow in the spring. Tenacious and wet soils should be avoided and only loams of medium texture and of poor quality in sunny situations The plants may be set, either in the spring or in the autumn, one foot apart and cul- tivated like sage or mint. The flower-stems should be removed as soon as seen, as this will force greater growth of leaves, etc. The green parts may be gathered at any time, after the plants have become established, and used fresh. Dried Tarra- gon is nearly as useful as green, but there is little market for it, less even than for the leaves. At the approach of winter, espe- ice or tour years. Tarragon is less culti- vated in America than it de- serves. Most of our Tarragon vinegar comes from France. Tagetes liicida is much like Tarragon in flavor and has been used as a substitute for it.
