Mode and Time of Planting.—It is generally propagated by parting the root, but may be raised from the bulbs produced on the stems. The planting may be performed any time in February, March, and early in April ; but the middle of the second is the usual time of insertion. A single clove to be placed in each one of holes made six inches apart, and one and a half deep, in straight lines, six inches distant from each other; care being taken to set the root downwards : to do this it is the best practice to thrust the finger and thumb, holding a clove between them, to the requisite depth without any pre- vious hole being made. The only cul- tivation is to keep them clear of weeds, and in June the leaves to be tied in knots to prevent their running to seed, which would greatly diminish the size of the bulbs. A few roots may be taken up as required in June and July, but the whole must not be lifted until the leaves wither, which occurs at the close of this last mentioned month, or in the course of August. It is usual to leave a part of the stalk attached, by which they are tied into bundles, being pre- viously well dried for keeping during the winter. GARLIC PEAR. Cratava.
