 CULTURE. — There is more garlic 



grown in Louisiana than in any other 



State, or in all States together. It is a 



staple product of the lower parishes, and 



is raised for home consumption and ship- 

 ping. It is used for flavoring stews, 



roasts and various other dishes. People 



from the south of Europe use much more 



than the inhabitants of the United States. 



It should be planted in October and 



November, in drills two to three feet 



apart, about six inches in the drills and 



one inch deep. The distance between 



are rows depends upon the mode of culti- ; 



vation, if planted in the garden, a foot ' 



between the rows is sufficient. It is 



cultivated like Onions; in the spring they 



are taken up. and platted together in a _^ 



string by the tops. One of these strings 

 contains from fifty to sixty heads in double rows; they are then stored or 

 hung up in a dry, airy place, and will keep from six to eight months.
