Introduction

What is an "herb"? The term itself comes from the Latin, "herba," meaning green crops. It originally referredto virtually all plants, cultivated and wild, and especially to their green and succulent parts. Today, the term hastwo distinct meanings. To the botanist, an herb is a non-woody plant that dies back to the ground in winter,hence "herbaceous." Herb is also used widely to mean any plant, or part derived from it, that has or once haduseful properties beyond garden ornament. At the National Herb Garden at the U.S. National Arboretum, forinstance, herb is defined broadly to mean just about any plant except vegetables, grains for food or forage, orplants used only to beautify the garden.

This publication deals with "herbs" in the second sense, as plants used for flavoring foods and beverages,for medicines, cosmetics, dyes, and perfumes, and for other household and economic uses. These "useful"plants include many types of vegetation, including the herbaceous, flowering plants that come especially to mindwhen we think of herbs (such as parsley, basil, or thyme), as well as non-herbaceous trees and shrubs, vines,ferns, mosses, and other plant groups. The useful herbs include plants whose life cycles are annual (such as aniseand basil), biennial (parsley, angelica, and clary sage), and perennial, including bay, lavender, lemon balm,thyme, yarrow, and many others. Specific herbs may be valued for their leaves (such as basil, bay, thyme),flowers (chamomile), seeds (dill, fennel), stems (angelica, chives), or underground parts (garlic, chicory).

The notion of herbs as flavoring agents generally excludes those plants commonly known as vegetables, whichare foods in and of themselves; that is, vegetables provide the substance, and herbs the seasoning. A related (andalso imprecise) group of economic flora consists of the spice plants. These are generally understood to be plants,usually native to the tropics, that bear aromatic fruits, seeds, or woody barks, and that are used, although notsolely, to season foods. (Cooking spices may also have medicinal, aromatic, or pesticidal properties.) Examplesof culinary spices include cinnamon (consisting of the bark of a small evergreen tree native to Sri Lanka), blackpepper (the unripe berries of a native Indonesian plant), and cloves (the dried flower buds of an evergreen treefrom the Moluccas, known historically as the "Spice Islands.")

There is often confusion over which plants are herbs and which are spices. One example of the inconsistency inthese designations occurs with Coriandrum sativum, a plant native to southern Europe, the Mediterraneanregion, and northern Africa, which yields both an "herb" and "spice." Its green leafy parts, known as cilantro, aregenerally considered an herb; while its aromatic seeds are typically deemed a spice. Since the two groups havemuch in common as "useful" plants, this bibliography encompasses both, but emphasizes those publications andother resources that deal with the plants that can be grown in U.S. gardens.

Herbs and spices have been used for many thousands of years. They provide a tangible link to ages past,when innumerable kinds of plants were an integral, daily part of home and community life. In Westernsocieties prior to this century, people once turned to herbs to fulfill their physical and spiritual needs: to cureillness, season foods, and dye cloth; for their cosmetic properties and pleasing or repellent aromas; as well as fortheir magical or symbolic qualities.

Although interest in particular herbs has waxed and waned over time and across cul-tures, we have witnessed ageneral decline in herbal popularity in the industrial era. Botanicals and other natural products have beeneclipsed by purified or wholly synthetic drugs, food additives, chemical dyes and pesticides, and othermanufactured products. This trend has been partially reversed in the late 20th Century, however, as shown byexpanding herbal interest and activity from many quarters. This renewed focus consists, in part, of rediscoveryand reevaluation of our pre- industrial herbal heritage, along with new interest in beneficial plants as renewable,biodegradable, or less-toxic resources, and greater interest in the cultural traditions of other groups.

Plant-derived medicines have long contributed to human health and well-being, and today, plant materials arepresent in, or have provided the models for, a significant proportion of Western drugs. A number ofcommercially-proven drugs used in modern medicine were initially used in crude form in traditional or folkhealing practices, or for other purposes that suggested potentially useful biological activity. Some examplesinclude the muscle relaxant, curare; pain-killer, morphine; antimalarial, quinine; and heart- regulator, digitalis. Inthe U.S. and other developed nations, expanding popular interest, as well as professional and commercialinterests, in herbal medicine (i.e., the use of crude, complex plant materials or extracts, rather than purified drugprinciples), have spawned an enormous and rapidly expanding literature on the subject, which includescontroversy over the benefits and safe use of herbal medications.

In addition to their practical virtues, herbs are being newly appreciated for their beauty and versatility in thehome garden. Many of our favorite ornamental garden flowers such as the rose, foxglove, and garden heliotropeare old-time herbs. Whether incorporated into the flower border, or herb or kitchen garden, herbs are beinggrown for their pleasing scents, interesting colors and textures, and their pest-deterrent properties. For oursmaller living spaces, many herbs are suited to indoor culture and container gardens.

Beyond the home garden, market gardeners and small farmers seeking diversification are finding that herbs maybe a profitable alternative to conventional cash crops. Rekindled interest in their natural pest-deterrent propertiesmay also mean an expanded role for the plants traditionally considered "herbs" in commercial agriculturalproduction.

Scope. This guide focuses on the published literature, organizations, and other information resources pertainingto herb gardens and gardening, and also the household uses of herbs for health, crafts, decoration, and otherpurposes. While the publication does not cover comprehensively the subjects of garden history or historical plantuse, it includes some representative books, periodicals, articles, and other information on heirloom plants andearly American plant usage. This information is intended to serve as an introduction to the plants, fromimmigrant as well as native cultures, that were valued in the early period of American history, and to portray thepresent-day interest in heirlooms, or antique plants. Several bibliographies on these topics are included also, tohelp the reader to locate this literature.

This publication lists a number of herbal resources available on the Internet, although it is not intended to be acomprehensive guide to the Net's offerings (which is a vast topic deserving its own treatment). A good place tostart on the Net itself for locating gardening information is "GardenNet" on the World Wide Web at URLhttp://trine.com/GardenNet/home.htm. GardenNet's well- maintained site includes a subject guide to Internetresources, gardens online, garden associations, gardening publications' home pages, book reviews, and more,plus GardenNet Index. Currently, the guide to Internet resources provides links to several dozen herbally-oriented Web sites. Also, a recent article from The Business of Herbs (Nov./Dec. 1995, p. 40-41) highlightsvarious Web sites that offer information on herb gardening and herbal medicine, including a discussion groupand bulletin board for herb enthusiasts.

Availability. The books and other publications listed and described in Sections 2,3, 4, and 6, and the videos inSection 5, have, with few exceptions, been selected from the collections of the National Agricultural Library(NAL) and the U.S. National Arboretum Library. These publications are identified with NAL or ARB callnumbers, respectively.

Information on the availability of these materials from other sources is provided at the end of each description.Books designated "out of print" may often be obtained at public or other libraries. Inquire at your public libraryfor further information on availability, including interlibrary loan acquisition. Books that are no longer in printmay be purchased from used or rare book sellers; consult the publications listed in Section 3, "ResourceGuides," for information on some of these sources. Books designated "in print" may be available also fromlibrary collections, or can be purchased or ordered from book stores or other outlets, and in many cases ordereddirectly from publishers or distributors. Refer to Books in Print (Section 9), or other source, for contactinformation, or ask a librarian for help in finding publisher information.

A number of special horticultural libraries with extensive collections have interlibrary loan affiliations, so maybe available as sources for either on-site examination or loan of hard-to-find or specialized books. ConsultBarbara Barton's directory, Gardening by Mail (Section 3, "Resource Guides"), for a listing of libraries in theU.S. and Canada with special horticultural collections. Another source for this information is North AmericanHorticulture, compiled by the American Horticultural Society (New York: Macmillan, 1992, NAL call no.SB317.56.U6N67 1992). A number of public, horticultural, and academic libraries have made their onlinecatalogs available on the Internet.
