The fragrant jonquil is a native of Spain, flowers in the 
open ground, about the latter-end of April, or beginning 01 
May, and will thrive in almoft any foil or fituation, but p re ' 
fers, as moft bulbs do, a frefh loamy earth ; indeed fuch a 
foil is favourable to the growth of moft plants, as being 
exempt from a variety of fubterraneous infers, which are 
apt to infeft ground which has been long cultivated. 
It is found in the gardens with double flowers. 
Our plant accords exaftly with the defcription of Linnaeus 
above quoted, but muft be carefully diftinguilhed from fam* 
others very fimilar to it.
