FERRY & CO^S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE, 6S Hromatic, jMedicinat and pot Rerbs GENERAL GUL-TURAL DIRBGTIONS MOST of the varieties thrive best on rich, sandy soil, which should be carefully prepared and wellcultivated, as the young plants are for the most part delicate and easily choked out by weeds. Sowas early as the ground can be made ready, in drills sixteen to eighteen inches apart, taking pains that thesoil is fine and pressed firmly over the seed, or they may be planted as a second crop—the seeds sown inbeds in April, and the plants set out in June. Most of them should be cut when in bloom, wilted in thesun and thoroughly dried in the shade. ANISE QPimpinella anisuni).
