Leek, Engl., Poireau, Fr., Lauch, Ger., and Poro, Ital., has a cylindrical scaly imperfect bulb, which is blanched in gardens, and much used in soups and stews. It is sown cylindrical scaly imperfect bulb, which is blanched in gardens, and much used in soups and stews. It is sown in March, transplanted in May in shallow drills, and being slightly earthed up as it advances, is fit for use in October, and remains in that state till April or May following. 6 A. sativum, Ail, Fr., Knoblauch, Ger., and Aglio, Ital., has soboliferous bulbs, which are used in seasoning, and sometimes in medicine. It is cultivated by dividing the bulb, and planting the soboles in February , and sometimes in medicine. It is cultivated by dividing the bulb, and planting the soboles in February or March. They are fit to take up in the September following, and laid up in a dry situation till wanted for use.
A. scorodoprasum. (From σκoρoδov, onion, and πρaσov, leek, as if both leek and onion.) Ail d'Espagne, Fr., Rockenbolben, Ger., and Scorodopraso, Ital., has bulbs like garlic, but the soboles or cloves are smaller. It is cultivated for the same purposes as that species, and is considered as having a more delicate flavor.
A. ascalonicum (growing near Ascalon). Eschalôte, Fr., Schalotte, Ger., and Scalogni, Ital., is the mildest of cultivated Alliums. It has a soboliferous bulb, small fistular leaves, and seldom flowers. It is propacultivated Alliums. It has a soboliferous bulb, small fistular leaves, and seldom flowers. gated by the clove, planted in autumn or spring, and taken up for use in August or September. It is very It is propasubject to insects, which autumn and shallow planting are found to counteract. (Caled. Mem. i. 109. and Hort. Trans. ii. 98. Encyc. of Gard. 3847.) Hort. Trans. ii. 98.

(Cep signifies head in Celtic.) Oignon, Fr., Zwiebel, Ger. and Cipolla, Ital., is universally cultivated for the kitchen, and is used as a pot-herb, salad, and pickle. It is commonly raised from seed, which is sown on rich, loamy, and rather moist soil, in March; and being thinned, weeded, and the soil stirred, the bulbs will be fit to take up in September, when they may be kept through the winter like potatoes or apples. It is also grown from small bulbs, which are planted on the surface of the soil in March, and swell to a large size (if not earthed up) in the course of the season. Sometimes onion-seeds are sown in autumn in a very dry situation, and the young plants are taken up and transplanted in spring: or a sowing is made very early in spring on a warm border or on a hot-bed, and the crop transplanted from that. There is a variety called the underground-onion, which multiplies its bulbs by offsets below the surface. The species called the tree onion, like several others, produces its bulbs instead of or among the umbel of flowers. It is occasionally cultivated, but chiefly as matter of curiosity. A. fistulosum is grown chiefly as a scallion, or spring salad onion. It has almost no bulb, but large succulent fistular leaves, strong in flavor. It is sown in autumn, and fit to be used in spring. 797. Albuca. Derived from alous, white, in allusion to the color of the flowers of this genus. Not a very happy allusion though, because the flowers are mostly green. The stem of the Asphodel was called albuca by T2 4694 mínor W. 4695 fláccida Jac. 4696 viridiflóra W. 4697 coarctáta W.
