GARLIC SETS 
Hardy Perennial Garlic 
Hungarian Garlic has the same uses as the Mexican 
Red Garlic or California White Garlic offered in most 
grocery stores, but is better suited to the average gar- 
den. The.bulbs are of high quality and preferred by 
many to the more common sorts, even though they are 
a little smaller. The bulbs are perfectly winter-hardy in 
the North and may be dug from the garden as needed 
or stored for winter use, Unlike the other varieties they 
are grown from small sets produced atop the stem, like 
the Egyptian Multiplier Onions. Each package contains 
enough sets to plant 12 to 15 ft. of row. (25¢ per pkt.) 
(Jumbo Pkt: 60c) prepaid. 
CHI VE S (Schnittlauch)

for use as a salad, and for their small leaves which are 
produced very early in the spring and are used for giv- 
ing a mild onion flavor to various dishes. Frequent cut- 
tings may be made throughout the season, a new growth 
of leaves appearing soon after each cutting. A supply 
may be had all winter by potting a few plants and tak- 
ing them inside before freezing. (Pkt. 15e) (44 0z. 50c) 
(oz. 90c) (14 Ib. $2.50) prepaid.
