Garlic 
A bulbous rooted plant of the onion family with a 
strong, penetrating odor but much esteemed by 
some for flavoring soups, stews, etc. We frequently 
receive orders for garlic seed, but we can supply 
bulbs only. Prepare ground the same as for onions, 
plant the cloves (separate portions of bulbs) in 
drills eight inches apart and four inches apart in 
row, covering two inches deep. When the leaves 
turn yellow take up the bulbs, dry in shade and 
lay them up in a dry loft as you would onions.

Culture. Used largely for greens in fall, winter and 
spring. Can be sown broadcast or in drills eighteen

makes greens quicker than other varieties. All

winter, so that the plants can be cut throughout 
the season.
