Feench Moss is a very fine curled variety. When

The Garlic came originally from Sicily. The 

 kind cultivated in the gardens of this country is a

 but it is used principally by French and Germans

 of the person who uses it. Two varieties are grown, 

 the large and the small. The bulb, Avhich is enclosed 

 in a thin, white skin, divides into parts or clo'^x'S. 

 These divisions are planted in the Spring in drills,
