S ince the printing off of the foregoing Sheets, I have met with 
two other Books in which the Guernfay Lilly is mentioned, and 
both of them in Englijh. 
The firfl: is called Kalendarium Hortenfe : Or, the Gardiner s Al- 
manack. By John Evelyn., Efq; F. R. S. and contains lome Obfer- 
vations concerning the Culture of this Plant. Of this Book there 
have been at lead nine Editions; the firft, London 1664. in Folio, 
and the Ninth in 1699. in Twelves. Thcfe two Editions, together 
with the Third, in 1669. Folio, 1 havcl’cen; and all of thcmdiifcr 
in fome Particulars, from one an other. 
In the Fird, p. 6$. talking of the Gardiner’s Work, during the 
Month of April, he fays. Now take out your Indian Tuherofes, 
parting the OfF-lets (but with Care, lead you break their Fangs) then 
pot- them in Natural, not forced Earth; a Layer of rich Mould be- 
neath and above this natural Earth to nourifh the Fibres, but not 
fo as to touch the Bulbs : Then plunge your Pots in a hot Bed tem- 
perately warm, and give them no Water ’till they fpring, and then 
let them under a South Wall: In dry Weather, water them freely, 
and exped an incomparable Flower in Anguft. Thus likewife treat 
the Narcijfus of Japan, or Garnfay Lilly for a later Flower, and 
make much of this precious Diredion. 
In the Month of June, plant your Narcijfus of Japan (that rare 
Flower) in Pots, &c. 
In September, the Flowers of the Garnfey Lilly, or Narcijfus of 
Japan, are in their Prime. 
And in a Catalogue of Plants, which according to their different 
Nature, require more or lefs Indulgence, he ranks the NarciJJiis of 
Japan among fuch as endure the fecond degree of Cold, and which 
are accordingly to be fccured in the Confervatory. 
In the third Edition, />. 15. to the Diredions for April, he adds, 
that this nice Curiofity (the Garnfay Lilly) fet only in a warm Cor- 
ner, expofed to the South, without any removal at all for many 
Years, has fometimes profpered better. 
In June, inllead of Planting, he orders the Narcijfus of Japan 
to be watered in Pots.
