earth.
HERBARY was a department of the
garden formerly much more cultivated
than at present, when the more potent
medicinal plants of hotter climates are
so easily procurable. The following is
a list of the tenants of the herhary, the
appropriate cultivation of which will be
found under their particular titles :
Angelica, Balm, Basil, Blessed Thistle,
Borage, Burnet, Caraway, Chamomile,
Chervil, Coriander, Dill, Hyssop, La-
