Coles A Garden of Herbs (Classic Reprint) at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Excerpt from A Garden of Herbs NO mention is made of the purely medicinal uses of herbs, the receipts being merely for the excellent Old herbal teas, the syrups and conserves, the herbal drinks and home-made wines, the candied flowers and leaves, the sweet waters, washing-balls, pomanders, etc which our great-grand mothers were so skilful in preparing. I have included just a few recipes, which are, alas, of no use, in our sadly unimagi native age One of these will be found under the heading Thyme To enable one to see the Fairies, and I can only trust it will not fall under the eye of any severely practical person, but as William Coles says of some of the things in his Art of Simpling if there be any that are not true yet they are pleasant.
