7lh. Jeuweel van Aljema, I miift place this flower here, 

 although it is placed amongll: the double whites with vio- 

 let hearts, by Mynheers Voerhelms, in their catalogues ; 

 but I could never obferve any violet colours, or any o- 



ther colours but white in it. It is a great beauty, is 



extremely double, has a high ftem, upon which grow 

 very large bells, ered, and well refle6led, and double, 

 to that degree, that one flower feems to come out of 

 the heart of another, as feme of the very double Carna- 

 tions do. This has a good fpike of flowers, and is a late 

 blower ; and, at its firft appearance in Holland^ was fold 

 for a very great price. 



8th. Satuniust is a fine large new flower, with a 

 high ftem, furrounded with great double, ered, well 

 reflected, and moft magnificent bells. The bells of this 

 flower are fet upon their pedicles in a very uncommon

 good colieclions of double Hyacinths. 



To the Pure Whites fucceed the Double White Hya~ 

 iuithsi with violet-coloured hearts. 



ifl:. Jeiiweel van Europa. This is a double flower, 

 with a good ftem, upon which are placed leven or 

 eight very double bells, eretl, and charmingly well re- 

 ■fieded, which difpiay their hearts, well mixed vvith vi- 

 olet colours ; it blows in the Bouquette fafhion, and 

 early, and is a fit companion for the La plus belle du 

 Monde double blue Hyacinth. 



2d. Rofe blanche et Violette, or White and Violet Rofc, 

 is one of the prettieft flowers of the whole Hyacinth 

 tribe: i;s ftem is indifferently high, furrounded with ten 

 or fometimes fourteen bells, of a mofl: extraordinary co- 

 lour, being of fuch a fhining white, as to dazzle the 

 eyes of the beholder, and are very double and well re- 

 flected, which difpiay a charming large heart, of an
