_Garlic Sunday._--The last Sunday of summer has been heretofore a day of
great importance with the Irish, as upon it they first tried the new
potato, and formed an opinion as to the prospects of future harvest. The
day was always called, in the west in particular, "Garlic Sunday," perhaps
a corruption of Garland Sunday. Can any one give the origin of this term,
and say when first it was introduced?
