in which it is known to be undoubtedly wild is the

since 1548. At one time, it held a place in most 
of the early pharmacopm@ias; but, like many other 
of our vegetable medicines, has fallen into disuse. In 
Britain, it is employed as a culinary ingredient; but, on 
account of its extremely penetrating and diffusive 
odour, it is seldom served up in a solid state. Garlic is 
easily propagated by seeds, which should be sown in the 
open ground, in March; or by dividing the cloves of the 
bulbs (see Fig. 84) into as many parts as they admit, to 
form separate plants. A light soil, and rather dry posi- 
tion in the kitchen garden, suit them best, planting 
the cloves early in March, about Qin. asunder, in drills 
1ft. apart, and covering with 2in. of soil. An occa- 
sional hoeing, to destroy weeds, will be all that is 
necessary for the after treatment, until the tops die, 
when the roots should be lifted and dried in the sun. 
A few may be planted in autumn for an early supply, 
only a small quantity being usually required at one 
time in private gardens.
