No. 1124, 
ASPHODELUS FISTULOSUS. 
Class. Order. 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a native of Provence, Greece, 
Bafbary, Spain, and Portugal. It was 
known to Gerarde, and cultivated by him ; 
but being too tender for our climate, is 
apt to be lost from time to time. 
It is necessary to protect it in a frame 
during the winter. It flowers in May, and 
may be increased by separation, and occa- 
sionally by seeds, which sometimes ripen 
ere. The soil should be light loam.
