JONQUILS, SWEET-SCENTED. 
The Double and Single Jonquils are prized for their graceful sweet-scented flowers in or out of 
doors. For indoor decoration three to six bulbs should be grow'ii in a 4- or 5-inch pot, and cultivated the 
same as the Hyacinth in all respects, whether for early flowering or succession. If planted outdoors ami 
treated the same as Daffodils, a long succession of these deliciously scented flowers for indoor decoration 
may be maintained.
