Dedicated to Domestic Science and to those who are devoting their energy, talent and time to the dissemination of that knowledge which makes for purer and better foods—to the Domestic Science Teachers of America.

In response to hundreds of requests from schools, colleges and individuals for information regarding the different varieties of Spices we have prepared this booklet, and have endeavored to give as concisely as possible the facts necessary to a thorough understanding of the subject.

As there has hitherto been no complete compilation along this line, it has been necessary to obtain from foreign sources much of the material, while some of the illustrations represent weeks of patient research by our art department.

To the U. S. Department of Agriculture we are indebted for much valuable information, and for this we wish to make due acknowledgment.
