Horse Mint:
It consists largely of menthol, and is used medicinally, and in flavoring confections, chewing gum, and tooth paste. Japanese peppermint oil is extracted from M. arvensis var. pipcrascens, grown mostly in northern Japan ; it is utilized for liniments, nasal sprays, and cough drops. Spearmint oil, containing carvone, is derived from M. spicata, or from one of its hybrids, M. Cardiaca. It serves in flavoring mint sauce, and the shoots form a garnish for lamb and mint juleps. Various other genera in the Labiatae are also called mint, such as Pycnanthe-mum, the mountain mint, Monarda, the horse mint and lemon mint, Blephilia, the wood mint, and Cunila, the stone mint. All of these are American genera.

Confine mint to Tubs or boxes. If you want it in the ground, grow it in a submerged bucket with the bottom knocked out, or restrict the roots with slates buried vertically around them. Mint is used with many vegetables, in yogurt as a dressing, with fish and salads, and with fresh fruit. Mentha spicata (common mint or spearmint) has pointed leaves; M. rotundifolia (apple mint or Bowles' mint).
