Chapter 109

Mints

(1) Perdita. Here's flowers for you;
Hot Lavender, Mints, Savory, Marjoram.

Winter's Tale, act iv, sc. 4 (103).

(2) Armado. I am that flower,

Dumain. That Mint.

Longaville. That Columbine.

Love's Labour's Lost, act v, sc. 2 (661).

The Mints are a large family of highly-perfumed, strong-flavoured plants, of which there are many British species, but too well known to call for any further description.
