Garlic Sets 
Used for flavoring stews,

perennial, a member of 
the onion family, but of 
much stronger flavor. The 
bulb separates beneath a 
thin, papery skin into di- 
visions or ‘‘cloves.’’ These cloves are planted 
in rows 12 to 18 inches apart and 4 to 6 
inches apart in the row and covered with an 
inch or two of soil, When the tops have died, 
the bulbs are pulled, braided together by their 
tops and hung in a dry, airy place to cure. 1%
