ground is in working order, sow thinly in drills

thin gradually, so that they stand 3 or 4 in¬ 
ches apart.

GARLIC Bulbs 
As an appetizing dash for flavoring for 
soups and stews, many people use small quan¬ 
tities of this pear-shaped white bulb. In large 
amounts it has a strong odor and flavor. To 
grow garlic in the garden, the several sections 
or “cloves” of each bulb should be separated 
and set in rows 10 or 12 inches apart and 
4 inches apart in the row. They should be 
taken up in the Fall and stored in a cool, 
dry place until used. Oz. 10c., lb. 40c.
