THE 
GARDEN YARD a 
SHALLOT. 
Shallot is much like garlic, only it is milder, 
and is grown in the same way. There is one 
interesting difference, however, between the 
two. The “cloves” of the garlic are all en- 
cased in one outer skin, those of the shallot 
grow separately. 
CIBOULE AND CIVES. 
The Ciboule or Welsh onion, and Cives, are 
grown for their leaves which are used for season- 
ing. The Ciboule is the most like the common 
onion and grows the same way and requires 
the same cultivaiton. Cives grow in dense 
tufts and are propagated by separating the 
tufts and planting a section. They are peren- 
nial, and make a good border for the garden 
walk, combining grace and toothsomeness. 
ONIONS. 
It pays to grow onions intelligently. They 
take lots of care, but they repay the time and 
trouble. 
You cannot get the best results from onions 
by beginning now, at the moment you start 
your garden, to sow your seed. Onions re- 
quire that you should begin last year, so to 
speak. The ground should be well plowed in
