Which produces a yellow flower, with a fragrance 

 similar to that of the Jonquil, especially in the 

 morning and evening, is a hardy perennial plant, 

 raised from seed sown either in the autumn or the 

 spring. This species was first cultivated in Eng- 

 land in 1T30. The seed was procured from the 

 eastern confines of the Russian empire, from the

 times vary to a pure white.
