Pungent, Odoriferous Garlic

Several years ago I invested
IS cents in some garlic cloves,
put them in the ground some
distance from each other and,
without much ado, I was in the
garlic business. The little
sprouts became big strapping
plants which bloomed and pro-
duced seed which in turn
sprouted and bloomed and
produced seeds which again
and so on. There are billions
of them now.
Aside from being very malo-
dorous, garlic is a delicious
condiment which I use in mi
mute quantities with meats and
for salads. HypocriteS first
asked, what smells so de-
licious" and then wrinkle their
noses in disbelief when I men,
ton the whiffy member of the
Sedate lily family.
Aside from being so offensive
to the nose they are most ac-
ceptable to the eye. I am be-
witched with their flourish
when they begin to produce
their flowers. At first they
produce a center stalk which
looks as solemn as a miniature
Capucine monk. Soon these
slender stems begin to stretch
and roll in whirly swirly loops
of such fascinating design and
in such an endless variety that
one feels that the Great De-
Signer is having creative fun
