JONOWIL: 
ears charming flower comes, with all its graces, 
to deck the {pring : It confifts of feveral {pecies ; but 
the great jongquil has a flem, about a foot in height, 
which bears, from a third part upwards, feveral 
golden bloffoms, confifting of five or fix leaves, all 
curling in a moft beautiful manner. It is multiplied 
by feed ; but, more properly, by their bulbs. They . 
require good, but not avery rich foil; and are u- 
{ually planted’ along the borders; thus affording a 
moft agreeable embellifhment to the walks and par- 
terres of any garden meant to be diftinguifhed for its 
tafte and elegance. .
