178 FLORA DOMESTICA. 



the Lucker-gowan (Cabbage-daisy) of the Scots. Allan 

 Ramsay makes his young laird seek a chaplet of it for his 

 Katy's brow. 



" This splendid flower," says Linnaeus, " adorns the 

 pavement of the rustics on festival days." It is a bright 

 yellow flower, blowing in May and June. " In Westmore- 

 land these flowers are collected with great festivity, by the 

 youth of both sexes, at the beginning of June ; about which 

 time it is usual to see them return from the woods in an 

 evening, laden with them, to adorn their doors and cottages 

 with wreaths and garlands *." 



The Globe-flower may be increased by parting the roots 

 in September, when the leaves begin to decay; but they 

 must not be parted very small, nor oftener than every third 

 year. 



The Siberian Globe-flower has paler flowers, and more 

 open, than those of the European species : this also blows 

 in May and June, and may be increased in the same man- 

 ner ; but it requires a soil yet more moist than that does ; 

 and the best way to keep it flourishing is to cover the 

 earth with moss, and to water it frequently. They both 

 love the shade ; exposure to the sun, and want of water, 

 will soon destroy them. They will bear the open air at all 

 seasons.
