Tulbaghia violacea. A close rela- 
@ tive of Agapanthus, but small enough 
to plant 3 in a 5” pot. Flowers are 
mauve to Chinese violet in an umbel 
.on 24” stems. Begins soon after 
‘planting and blooms almost continu- 
/ously through the year—winter and 
summer. Foliage has garlic odor 
/when bruised. 35c, three for $1.00. 
: The Alliae. This group is now 
placed in the Amaryllis family. Sandy 
jloam is preferred. Do not add too 
/much leaf mould and no peat as very 
acid soil is not so good. Plant about 
2%” deep. The species Allium are 
onions and should be grown in full 
/sun unless noted. 
A. Sativum. Burbank’s Elephant 
‘Garlic. This is the largest, juiciest
