in the ninth Edition, 52. he tells us, that Sea Sand, mingled 
with the Mould more plentifully towards the Surface, exceedingly 
contributes to the flourilhing of this rare Exotick. All the reft is 
as in the Third. 
What deferves chiefly to be remarked about all that wc have quoted 
from this Author, is that he is the firft who has given any Diredi* 
ons about the Culture of this Plant in Enghfh, or called it by the 
Name of the Garnfay Lilly ; for which, not having then feen his 
Book, 1 have in the introduefion and Names, by miftake, cited 
John Rea. 
The other Book is the Lady’s Recreatioriy or the Rleafure and 
Rrofit of Gardening improved. By Charles Evelyn, Efq-, Lond, 
1707. ^vo. ^ 
The Guernfay Lilly y is by this Author, called the Lilly of Japan : 
And he tells us, p. 120. that this is a rare and curious Exotick, 
yielding a fair branch of Flowers, not unlike the Martagons. And 
the Sun has fo great an Influence over thefc Flowers, that when it 
fhines on them, the whole Flower feems changed* and refembles 
Cloth of Gold : But the Root never produces any more Flowers 
after once blowing. He has annexed likewife a Kalendariitm Hor^ 
tenfe of the fame Nature, and I believe, pretty much in the fame 
Words with that already mentioned j but without giving any par- 
ticular Directions about his Lilly of Japan. 
What he here fays, that the Root never produces any more Flow- 
ers after once blowing, is falfe. Mr. Fairchild in his large Stock of 
Roots, has loftances every Year of the contrary.
