This volume contains a detailed guide to garden herbs, with information
on growing, cultivating, common problems, and much more besides. The
rarity of imported dried herbs and spices adds considerable value to
this handy guide to the growing of useful and delicious herbs. In an
experienced and accessible tone similar to that of the two previous
books in this series, Mrs. Whitehead, who was the gardening
correspondent of Good Housekeeping, deals with all the herbs that can be
easily grown in one's garden. She includes information on those herbs
commonly used to augment foods and drinks, garnish dishes, or release
pleasing aromas - as well as a gardeners' calender. This text will be of
much value to the modern kitchen gardener, and makes for a wonderful
addition to collections of allied literature.
