Of Garlick.

GArlick, hath his name of his strong and vnpleasant smell: bicause it smelleth saith Isidore so strongly, and with that so lothsom∣ly, that it taketh away, & ••ereaueth for a time the good and swéete smell of all other things. The best that it hath, is that it is good of en∣crease. For euerie and eche coate of his (those I call coates which are as it were on both their sides behemmed and parted, and are as it were in seuerall corners of the house, but yet in house and so by that meanes all one) set in the Gar∣daine or otherwhere, will soone come vp and much prosper. Which thing the Onyon as Aristotle sayth, haltet•• in: for that is set onely by whole heades, & so commeth vp or else not.
