And here was Dr. They clung to him, and one he carried. And he was singing, in a sweet, high voice: "We all have our trials here below, Sail away to Galilee! There's a tree I see in Paradise, Sail away to Galilee! Sail away to Galilee, Sail away to Galilee, Put on your long white robe of peace, And sail away to Galilee!" "Hello! Uncle Benny 'Dr. Spearmint'" he liked that best.
One day we went 'cross lots after spearmint for jelly for the table at Woodchuck Lodge, and an abandoned house near the mint-patches recalled to Mr. Burroughs the first time he had heard the word "taste" used, except in reference to food. The woman who had lived in this house, while calling at his home and seeing his attempt at drawing something, had said, "What taste that boy has!"
Or perhaps, for a choice of emblems, you would better take a yet more homely and familiar scent: the cool fragrance of lilacs drifting through the June morning from the old bush that stands between the kitchen door and the well; the warm layer of pungent, aromatic air that floats over the tansy-bed in a still July noon; the drowsy dew of odour that falls from the big balm-of-Gilead tree by the roadside as you are driving homeward through the twilight of August; or, best of all, the clean, spicy, unexpected, unmistakable smell of a bed of spearmint that is the bed whereon Memory loves to lie and dream!
Like most of its near relatives, pennyroyal is highly aromatic, perhaps even more so than any other mint. The flavor is more pungent and acrid and less agreeable than that of spearmint or peppermint. Ordinarily the plant is propagated by division like mint, or more rarely by cuttings. Cultivation is the same as that of mint.
His mother's antagonistic eyes followed him. "I dun'no' as I can have them herbs in my china-closet much longer," said she; "they're scentin' up the dishes too much. If I want to have a little company to tea, I ain't goin' to have the tea all flavored with spearmint an' catnip."
Whoever relishes the summer cups that cheer but do not inebriate may add considerably to his enjoyment by using some of the sweet herbs. Spearmint adds to lemonade the pleasing pungency it as readily imparts to a less harmful but more notorious beverage.
The roads in all directions were thronged with vehicles, men on horseback, and a great company on foot; the women wearing the scarlet cloaks which had not yet given place to the Paisley shawls of a later period, and each carrying, neatly wrapped in a white handkerchief, a Bible or Psalm-book, between whose leaves were a sprig or two of southernwood, spearmint, or other fragrant herb from the cottage garden.
Spearmint, delighted in his delight. He had curly brown hair and a smooth face. "Indeed they must be mild," cried Miss Langham. Dr. Spearmint coughed considerably, and blushed. "He he wears a blue necktie," he said, the mild blue eyes falling. "O Dr. Spearmint! I believe why, it must be you!" cried the merry girl, with a laugh as gay as rushing brooks.
To this she added the contents of a thermos bottle containing a pint of sugar that had been brought to the boiling point with a pint of water and poured over some chopped spearmint to which had been added the juice of half a dozen lemons and three or four oranges. From a small, metal-lined compartment, Linda took a chunk of ice and dropped it into this mixture.
He brushed a joyful tear from his eye, and began: "I see a bew-tiful future here," he said. "Oh, my!" said Miss Langham, looking up at him, her mirthful eyes full of incredulous rapture. "Yes, I see a tall man, quite a tall man." Dr. Spearmint himself was quite a tall man. "Dear me!" exclaimed Miss Langham. "He has curly brown hair and a a smooth face," said Dr.
