Grows wild among the corn in the South of Europe, is an 
annual, and, like the Sweet Alyffum, generally cultivated in 
our gardens, and moft defervedly fo indeed, for when a large 
affemblage of its bloffoms are expanded by the rays of the 
fun, their brilliancy is fuch as almoft to dazzle the eyes of 
the beholder. 
_Thofe annuals which bear our winter’s frofts without injury, 
are advantageoufly fown in the autumn; for by that means 
_ they flower more early, and their feeds ripen with more ceI- 
_ tainty; the prefent plant is one of thofe: it ufually fows itfelf, 
_ and is therefore raifed without any trouble. 
It begins to flower in May and June, and continues to 
enliven the garden till Auguft or September.
