About three Years since, seeing some Bulbous Roots set in Glasses filled with Water in a Shop Window, and being told they would Flower in that manner, I immediately tried a couple of Hyacinths , which blowed very prettily the next Spring: it pleased me much to fee that we could have such Things in a dose Room in Town, without the help of a Garden to produce them, having lately come out of the Country, and being-a Lover of Flowers; where, fore I began to think if I could contrive a Method to make a Pot full blow together, with a mixture of several forts of Flowers with a variety of Colours, it would be an Improvement.
