Culinary and Salad Herbs

Contents Include: Planning a Herb Garden - Culinary Herbs, A Descriptive List - The Drying of Herbs - Uses of Herbs - Salads. "This book is the first attempt to deal with the whole subject of Culinary and Salad herbs now so much in request by all keen gardeners. Wide in its scope, and practical in its outlook and information, it covers every aspect of culinary herb growing, including a descriptive list of over forty of the principal herbs used for culinary purposes, with details of their origin, history and cultivation and their respective food values. A notable and useful feature of the book is the section on the uses of herbs, where Miss Rohde, an acknowledged authority on this subject, distils much useful information of interest to every gardener. The chapter on Salads will be of equal interest to the epicure, with its list of recipes, which was all the result of first hand test experiences."
