I'orrum, as is done by Dr. Linnjeus, left by too 

 clofejy adopting his fyftem, we may render this work 

 lefs mtelhgible to the pradical gardener, and fuch 

 other perfons who may delight themfelves in the cul- 

 ture of a kitchen-garden-, but not having ftudied the 



fcjence of botany, may not fo readily turn to thole 

 articles, tlierefore we I'liall infert their culture under 

 tlieir fonner titles. 



The two firft fpecies are eafily propagated by planting 

 the cloves, or finall bulbs, in tlie Ipring, in beds 

 about four or five inches diftance from each other, 

 keeping them clean from weeds. About the beginning 

 of June, the leaves of the firft fort Ihould belied in 

 knots, to prevent their fpindling, or running to {<ttK\, 

 which will greatly enlarge the bulb: In the middle 

 of July, the leaves v/ill begin to wither and decay, 

 , at which time they (liould be taken out of the ground', 

 and hanged up in a dry room, to prevent their rotting, 

 and may be tiuis preferved for winter ufe. 

 The roots of the i'ccond fort may remain in the ground 

 till the leaves are decayed, when their bulbs may be 

 taken up and dried, to be preierved for ufe during 

 the winter feafon -, but fome of the roots may be at 



the fame time planted again for the fucceeding year 



for this Ibrt requires to be planted in autumn, ef- 



pccially on dry ground, otherwife their bulbs will not 

 be lar^e.- ., , . , - . . 



The third fort was formerly iri greater efteem than 

 at prefent, ^it being rarely cultivated in gflrdens, but 

 is found wild in moill fliady places in many parts of 

 England; and may be cultivated by planting the roots 

 in a moift lliady border, at almoft any time of the year-. 



are decaying. 



July: 



The fourth fort grov/s naturally in the Holm Iflands, . 

 from whence it has been tranfplanted into feveral gar- 

 dens, where it is preierved more for the fake of va- 

 riety than ufe. 



The.eleyenth and thirteenth forts grow wild in the 

 northern parts of England, but are by the curious in 

 botany prefer\^ed in their gardens. Thefe are very 

 hardy, and may be removed in July or Auguft, when 

 their leaves begin to decay, and will thrive in almoft 

 any foil or fituation. 



'The fifth fort was formerly preferved in gardens for 



the fake of its yellow flowers, but having a very ftrong 



Garlick fcent, nioft people have rooted it out of their 

 gardens. • .■ . - - 



The fixth fort is alfo preferved by many perfons in 

 their gardens for the fake of variety, but as this hath 

 a very ftrong (cent, lb it is not often admitted to the 

 flov/er-garden. 



The nintj-i and twelfth forts are fometimes permitted 

 to have a place in gardens for tlie fake of variety. 

 The feventh, eighth, and tenth forts grow naturally 

 in Tartary and Siberia, from whence their feeds were 

 fent to Peterft)urgh, and from thence fome of the bo- 

 tanic gardens have been fupplied with feeds ; thefe are 

 only preierved for the fake of variety. 

 The fourteenth, fifteentli, and fixteenth forts, have 

 been planted in gardens for the variety of their flowers, 

 but of late years moft people have turned them out, 

 to make room for better forts. But tlie fixteenth 

 multiplies fo flift by offsets, as to render it difficult 

 to extirpate them, when they have remained any time 

 in a garden. 



This produces large umbels of white flowers, growing 

 on ftalks about ten inches highj the time of flowerino- 

 is in April and May. 



The nineteenth fort was brought from Virginia, and 

 is preferved in botanic gardens for variety's fake, but 

 has no great beauty ; it is very hardy, and will thrive 

 in the open air very well ; and is propagated by its 

 bulbs, which are produced in plenty on the top of 

 the ftalks. 



I'hey are all of them very hardy, and will thrive in 

 almoft any foil or fituation, and are eafily propagated 

 either by their roots, or from feeds: if from the roots, 

 the beft tim.e is in autumn, that they may take good 

 root in the ground before the fpring, which is necef- 

 fary, in order to have them flov/er ftrong the following 

 fummer. If they are propagated by feeds, they may 

 be fown on a border of common earth, either in au- 

 tumn, foon after the feeds are ripe, or in the fprincr 

 following, and WiU* require no farther care, but to 



keep
