ALLIUM SATIVUM (Garlic) Garlic is a perennial herb. The bulbs are composed of several small, elongated, egg-shaped bulbils, called "cloves," all of which are enclosed by a whitish skin (Fig. 93). There are often as many as ten bulbils in a single bulb. The scape is" from I to 2 feet high, round, and possesses alternate, broad- linear, soUd, flat leaves. The spherical umbels bear many bulblets among the small, long- stemmed flowers. Seeds and bulblets are borne in the same head. In propagation, the bulb- lets in the flower head and the cloves are used more commonly than seeds. Garlic is a native of southern Europe. Both the cloves and leaves are used in seasoning salads and soups, and the stems are also often an ingredient of sausage and other ground Fig. 93.—Bulb of garlic CAllium sativum). X M-.
