(jardeners REGARDING HERBS VI ANY home gardeners may be interested in growing herbs this year because of the war, and because they make everyday dishes more appetizing and flavor­ ful. Herbs may be grown in a plot about four by six feet to supply the average needs of a family. They should have full sunlight and be planted in good loamy soil. Almost all popular herbs—balm, basil, borage, fennel, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, sage, anise, dill, and caraway—may either be used when young, and fresh, or pre­ pared for use dried. Anise, basil, borage, dill and sa­ vory are annuals; caraway, and fennel are biennials, and balm, marjoram, sage, rosemary, thyme and chives are perennials, al­ though balm and marjoram are best treated as annuals. All the herbs mentioned here will probably produce enough growth for use the first year, however, if seeds are planted early, and cli­ mate is normally temperate. limited time only Man as a Fraction Every man can be seen as a fraction, whose numerator is his actual qualities and its denomina­ tor his opinion of himself. The greater the denominator the less is the absolute quantity of the fraction.—Tolstoy.
