JONQUILS, SWEET-SCENTED. 
The Double and Single Jonquils are prized for their graceful sweet-scented flowers in or out of 
doors. For indoor decoration plant three to six bulbs in a 4- or 5-inch pot, and give the same treatment 
as Hyacinths in pots. If planted also outdoors and treated the same as Daffodils, a long succession may 
be maintained. , . ,

August and September; it is best planted in pure sand. L. trichopkyllum resembles Autumnale in its 
graceful flowers, but blooms in Spring ; plant in pure sand, and give cold frame treatment, keeping it well
