ereafed by Offen, yet is not parted into Clover, at
tbe, Garden Garlick is. - The Plant is of fuch a [bong
Garliek Smell, that the Milk of Cows which feed
thereof . will mile of it. " From this Root fpring up
feveral narrow Leaves, "and long, like Graft, fofter
than the former, and nothing near fo Riff 5 and a-
mong thefe Leaves rife upvone or two (lender bare
Stalks, not to hard and (iii? as the tint, but bearing
at their tops, like Tufts ofpurplifh l-‘16wers, and

Paliures thro’ all England ,, Gerard ' found it plen-
tifully in Fields on the backiide of ljlmgtan near
Lanian : and I found it in feveral laces b the

Virtue: of thei'e, are the . flame with thofe of the
Cowman Garden Garlick in Orap. 307. aforegoing:
but Galen fays, That Crow Garlirk is flronger, and.
”of more Force than the Garden. I can fay little to
this Opinion of Galen’s; but this Iknow, That be-
in; bruifed and infufed in White Lisbon or Part
l ine, and-bein drank, it provokes‘llrine power-
fully, gives’pre ent Hate in the Strangury, and is
faid to break the Stone, and driverit out- but this
is to be underllood when it is made 0F :1 friable
gritty Subliance, not when it is hard and folid, like
aFlint. The Leaves of both forts are gathered and
cut or Rampt and eaten by feveral People for Sawce,
as we eat green Sawce made with Sarrel : and fome
People, .which love Garliak or I’rrong Onianr, will
eattheir Roots in April and May, with Eefh Butter
and Brad, or new Cheefe, jult as we eat young
Onian: in the Spring. .
