Ruins of Ascalon, from the North-east. Here there are fine orchards and olive- trees, cultivated by the Egyptian peasants of the neighboring village of El Jûrah. The wild onions of 'Askûlon are celebrated for their delicate flavor. The Romans gave them the name of Ascalonia, hence scalogn (Ital.) and shallot (Allium Ascalonicum).
