Boerb, Ind The talleft Snow-drop, with {mall white Flowers tipp’d with Green. : The firft of thefe Plants is very commonin moft Englifb Gardens, where it is preferv'd for its early flowering, which is generally in yary, when theyoften appear, thoughthe Ground at that time be cover’d with Snow, and is one of the firft Ufherers in of the Spring This Plant is very eafily propagated from Off-fets, which the Roots fend forth in great Plenty, (efpecially if they are permitted to remain undifturb’d for two or three Years) in which time, from a fingle Bulb, there will often be ten or twelve flowering Roots, and as many more {mali Off-fets. The beft Seafon for tranfplanting the Roots is in May, after their Leayes are decay’d, when they muft be taken up; and after being dry’d in a thadyPlace, they maybe kept out of the Ground until September before they need be planted again; when they fhould be planted about two Inches deep, and pretty clofe together, otherwife their Flowers being {mall, will make but a poor Appearance. Theywill thrive in almoft anySoil or Situation, but are commonlyplanted near Hedges, and bythe Sides of large Walks; where being permitted to remain two or three Years unre- movd, till they have increas’d, and. become large Buuches, they make a very good Appearance before any other Flowers come up. NA The talleft Saow-drop isa very hardy Plant, andincreafes prettyfaft by Off-fets, {0 that it is much commoner thanthe laft. This flowers in April and May, andgenerallyrifes two Feet The Bulbs of this Kind are verylarge, high, and do greatly refemble thofe of the Narciffus, and the Leaves are very broad, but the Flows ers are fmall, and feldom more than two or three produc’d uponeach Stalk. Thefe make a pretty Variety when intermix’d with other bulbous rooted Flowers. All thefe Sorts may be tranfplanted when their Leaves are decay’d, before theyftrike out frefh Fibres, after which it will be too late to remove them: ‘Their Roots maybe kept out of the Ground two or three Months, if preferv'd in adry Place, and may be planted in almoft anySoil, but theythrive beft ina frefh light fandy Earth. NARCISSUS ; [takes its Name of vapx,or vac, a Torpidue/s or Deep-fleep, becauie the Smell of this Floweris faid to caufe a Heavineis of the Head, and a Stupidity, Plutarch tells us, ‘I his Plant was facredto the infernal Gods. The Poets tell us, that Narciffus was the Son of Cephifus and the Nymph Liriope, a Youth of fuch excellent Beauty, that once upon a time coming to a Fountain to drink, and feeing his beauteous Image in the Water, he grew fo enamourd with it, that he pin'd away with Defire, and was tran{form’d into a Flower of his Name.] The terpolatis.
