SHALLOT

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 798 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SHALLOT , Allium ascalonicum, a
hardy
  bulbous perennial, which has not been certainly found wild and is regarded by A. de Candolle as probably a modification of A. Cepa, dating from about the beginning of the Christian era (Origin of Cultivated Plants, p. 71). It is extensively cultivated and is much used in cookery, besides which it is excellent when pickled. It is propagated by offsets, which are often planted in September or October, but the
principal
  crop should not be got in earlier than
February
  or the beginning of
March
 . In planting, the tops of the bulbs should be kept a little above ground, and it is a commendable plan to draw away the soil surrounding the bulbs when they have got root-hold. They should not be planted on ground recently manured. They come to maturity about July or August. There are two sortsthe common, and the
Jersey
  or
Russian
 , the latter being much larger and less pungent.
