Pat, Thanks for the offer! My German relations from the Catawba County area are: Peiter Heyl Bostain Best Isenhour Winebarger Huet / Hewitt Kurt Matheson Greenville, SC > > > Subject: [Catawba-West] Descendants of GERMANS. > Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 12:00:00 -0400 > From: "Pat C.

Tell me which early > family German family descended from and send me an Envelope, stamped, > with your address on it and I will send you some Garlic to be planted in > your Kitchen Herb garden. Every good German needs Garlic whether to use > to season foor or ut use as medication for sickness. It has worked for > both for hundreds of years. This is free to those who tell me the name > of their early German Ancestor and where he or she lived in North > Carolina. > > You can plant the Garlic any time you get the small cloves (whether > from the top or bottom of the stalk) anytime you desire. I suggest that > you plant them very shallow since this makes it very easy to get the > garlic when you need to use some for seasoning. I only take up garlic > when I am needing it to season something that I am using immediately. > When you do this you get all the fresh juice. Garlic grows in such a > way that you can find it anytime during the year. Don't plant it near > your daffodils or you may dig up the wrong bulb. The small cloves from > the top will fall back onto the ground and your supply will be > continuously growing in number. > > Good Luck and Good Health. Garlic is very good for the heart. Use > parsley with the garlic and there is no odor on your breath. > > Send your envelope to: Pat C. Cloninger > 1729 Brentwood Drive > Newton, NC 28658-3610 > > ______________________________ >
