LEEK. — Allium porrum.
The leek is a member of the onion family, and has been cultivated from time immemorial. It has always been re- garded with particular favor by the Egyptians, who eat it raw with their bread, or as a sauce for meats. It is frequently associated with the name of St. David, the p...atron saint of "Wales, for the reason that Welshmen are accustomed to sport leeks in tb.eir hats upon his festival, the first of March. This is a very ancient custom, and we find frequent mention of it in the old writers. Some persorls have thought that it com- memorates tlie introduction of the plant into that country by St, David ; but more probably, as Shakspeare says, in his Henry the Fifth, it is " worn as a memorable trophy of predeceased valor." According to " an antient tradition," in a celebrated victory of the Welsh over the Saxons, in tlie sixth century, the former, under the prelate's directions, were distinguished by leeks which they gathered near the battle ground.
