In this are included the Polyanthus narcissus. The word "tazzetta" signifies a small deep 

 vessel like a tea-cup, referring to the corona. By some this is considered to be the hose of 

 Sharon, the original Hebrew word "Bulh" being translated " Rose."

These bulbs will flower beautifully, like Hyacinths, in glass ; and they will also flower if 

 hung up in a room and kept moist \>y wrapping moss round them. Clausius tells us, in his 

 "Historia Plantarum," that he called this plant Narcissus indicus jacoboeus because its flower 

 reminded his friend, Dr. Simon Tovar, of the crimson sword worn as a badge by the Knights of the 

 Spanish Order of St. James.
