old one will ripen, and become prolific.

The hyacinth-root dlfi^ers from the tulip-root ; for, as lam Infoi

 fth 



of the lafl year's flower is always found In th 



fets arlfe from th 



the concentric coats of It, except th 



the onions above defcrlbed , 



dex below this bulb, and 



d that the new off- 

 lot between any of 

 d ones. On this ac- 



f 



[ part Is liable by its decay to deflroy the flower-bud 

 of the earth, when the leaves die ; and hence fome 



florlfls believe, that thefe roots periOi naturally in fiveorfeveny 



after they have flowered, but that the tulio-root urv.r a;.. 



flowered, but th
