Costmary is a good-looking plant, Spreading by runners into a wide clump 0f N18 Kreyish-green leaves. whose shape and coarse regular notches gave the plant another of its many names, that of "Goose Tongue": in summer the leafy stems rise up about two (eel, and break out into the raylcss brass huttons of the Tansy family.

It is called “Gingcr" by the cottagers, and in Llncolnshire they still use it to make Tansy or Easter Pudding which is a kind of ritual dish for Ezister Sunday. surviving from the time when Tansy was taken to rep- resent the ‘bitter herbs_" of the Passover. Here is a recipe for it:— riib together 2 breakfast-cupfuls of brr-ad-crumbs. 3 oz. of fresh butter, l-4 lb. of sugar nnd 6 young leaves 01 T-WSY C-h0lllN’-‘d vcrv fine; pour ovcr the mixture 3-4 not oi boiling milk and leave it to cool; beat 3 eggs into 3-4 pint of new milk and stir it into the mixture; bake in a buttered pie-dish until it is well set.

the towering flower stems before their seeds ripen.

If a. few leaves of Rue (a very few. for they are strong and bitter) are chopped fine and mixed inti- mately with butter, they will be found to make a sandwich which is curiously appetlzing, but beyond this use it has. I think. no comes- tible value: on the other hand, it is one of the most decorative hardy foliage plants. in color and design, that anyone can desire, and as such it is strangely neglected. Its good qualities can be appreciated, while still keeping it among the herbs to which gardeners seem determined that it shall belong. by planting it with costmary, Fennel and Tansy. thus making a. very handsome group of foliage plants. The addi- tion of the dark red Valerian (Cen- tranhus ruber oonccineus) will light up the picture and contribute to the idea of a. herb garden, and if it is not a. true Valerian it is all the better for that. All these plants will flourish on a dry bank in the poorest soil and, with a bush of Rosemary and a few bushy Thymes. make a. natural herb-garden. such as you may find on the shores of the Mediterranean, a kind of minia- ture maqui which gives a fine mixed scent on a. hot day.

Tarragon lust. unlike the foregoing plants, is nothing to look at, but of great value in the kitchen. It does not seem to have been much esteemed by the old herb gardeners, perhaps because its peculair flavor is very delicnte—so delicate, in fact, that it should never be mixed with other herbs. but used alone in flavoring those dishes for which good cooks have discovered it to be most ap- propriate. notabiy boiled chioken. eggs in aspic and cucumber salad. It is not grown very often in English gardens. partly, I think. be- cause a. false Tarragon. Artemisia dracunculoides. is often sent in place of it; the lmposter is a coarser plant with broader, rather hairy leaves and a rough. unpleasant flavor. The true Tarragon has not been known to set seed in this
