 ease, mentioned by Mr. Philip Miller in the earlier 

 editions of his Gardeners Dictionary, for which I know no 

 remedy ; and as his account is scattered under a different 

 plant, Crocus, and entirely omitted in Professor Marty n's 

 edition, 1 shall here quote his words. " In the parish of 

 Fulham the gardeners used to drive a great trade in the 

 Double Jonquil, at which place these roots turned to as
