The fevcnth fort grows naturally on tlie Alps, and 

 other mountainous places in Germany : this fends out 

 upright ftalks,' garniflied with leaves cut into many 

 parallel fegments, fomewhat like thofc of Buckfnorn 

 Plantain. . The ftalks rife a foot and a half hiah,

 root, and may be propagated in the fame manner as 

 the other. 



The eighth fort has been many years cultivated in 

 the gardens for the beauty of its flowers. Of thiii 

 there are fingle and double with white, and die 

 fame v/ith yellow flowers ; and as thefe^io not differ 

 from each other in any thing except in the colour of 

 their flowers, therefore they are generally efteemed

■ The firft fort is the common Corn Marigold, which 

 grows naturally amongft the corn, and the borders of 

 the corn-fields in divers parts of England, fo is rarely 

 admitted into gardens ; but we have inferted this and 

 the next to introduce the other fpecies. . 



The fecond fort is the greater Daif)-, which ftands 

 in the lift of medicinal plants in the College Difpen- 

 fatory : this grows naturally in moift paftures, almoft 

 every where in this country. It rifes with ftalks near 

 two feet high, garniflied v/ith oblong indented leaves, 

 which embrace the ftalks with their bafe. The foot- 

 ftalks are each terminated by one white flower, fliaped 

 like thofe of the Daify, but four times as large. It 

 flowers in June. 

 - The third fort grows naturally in North America, 

 but hath been long preferved in the Englifli gardens. 

 . The roots of this plant creep far under the furface, 

 and fend up ftrong ftalks three or four feet high, gar- 

 [ niflied with long fawed leaves, ending in point 

 the ftalks divide upward into many (mailer, each be- 

 ing terminated by a large, white, radiated flower ; 

 thefe appear in September. It multiplies very faft 

 by its creeping roots, and will thrive in any foil or 

 fituation. • 



The fourth fort grows naturally upon tlie Alps, and 

 other mountainous places. I received this from Ve- 

 rona, near which place it grows m plenty : this fends 

 up a fingle ftalk a foot high, garniflied with entire 

 leaves above, but the under leaves are fawed on the 



The ftalk is terminated by one large white 

 flower, fliaped like thofc of the third fort. It flowers 

 in June, and the feeds ripen in Auguft. This fort 

 may be propagated by feeds, which, if fown in a 

 fhady border, will come up in about fix weeks ; and 

 the plants, when fie to remove, may be tranfplantcd 

 into a ftiady border, where they are to remain, and 

 will require no other care but to keep them clean 

 from weeds. 



1'he fifth fort grov/s -naturally about Montpelier •, 

 this hath a perennial root, from which fprings up 

 many narrow Grafs-like leaves, and, between them, 

 ftalks which rife a foot and a half high, garniflied 



o 



edges. 



have never found the feeds faved from the white, pro- 

 duce plants with yellow flowers, nor thofe of the yel- 

 low produce white. ^ ' , 

 There is alfo a variety of thefe colours with fiftular 

 florets, which has accidentally rifen from feeds of the 

 other ; thefe are generally titled Quill-leaved Chry- 

 , fanthemum j but as the feeds faved from thefe deo-e- 

 nerate to the common forts, fo they do not merit a par- 

 ticular denomination. 



Thefe plants are always efteemed as annual, fo tlie 

 feeds are ufually fov/n upon a flender hot-bed in the 

 fpring, and tlie plants treated in the fame manner as 

 the African Marigold, for the culture of which we 

 fliall refer the reader to that article -, but as the plants 

 which rife from feeds, do many of them produce fingle 

 flowers, althoufrh the feeds are faved from the beft 

 double flowers, therefore many perfons now propa- 

 gate thefe plants from cuttings, whereby they conti- 

 nue the double forts only ; thefe cuttings, taken from 

 the plants the beginning of September, and planted 

 in pots, will readily take root ; and if they are placed 

 under a hot-bed frame to fcreen them from the froft 

 in winter, letting them have free air in mild weather, 

 they will live through the winter ; and in the ipring 

 thefe plants may be tranfplantcd into the borders of 

 the flower-garden, where they will flower in June, 

 and continue in fucceflion till the froft puts a ftop to 

 them ; by this method all the varieties may be conti- 

 nued without variation, but the plants which are pro- 

 pagated this way by cuttings will become barren foon, 

 fowill not produce feeds. 



The ninth fort is a perennial plant, fending out many 

 ftalks from the root, which divide into branches, gar- 

 niflied with pretty thick leaves, deeply cut into many 

 fegments, like thofe of the laft fort j. thefe are of a 

 pale green ; the flowers are produced at die end of 

 the branches, ftanding upon pretty long naked foot- 

 ftalks J they are very like thofe of the common 

 Greater Daify, in fize and colour. It flowers in June,, 

 and continues till the end of September. This fort 

 ripens feeds every year in England, by v;hich the 

 plant is eafily propagated ; for if the feeds are fown 

 in the fpring on a common border, the plants will 

 come up in fix weeks ; when thefe are fit to remove, 

 ^ they may be tranfplantcd into a nurfery-be(i at about - 

 afoot diftance every way, and kept clean from weeds 

 till autumn, when they may be removed to the place.'^ 

 where they are defigned to remain. As thefe plants 

 extend their branches pretty far on every fide, they 

 fliould be allowed at leaft two feet room ; therefore 

 they are not very proper furniture for fmall gardens, 

 where there is not room for thefe large growing 

 plants V but in large gardens, thefe may have a place 

 for the fake of variety. 



If thefe plants are planted in poor dry land, or upon 

 lime-rubbifli, they v/ill not grow fo vigorous as in 



good ground, fo they will endure the cold better, 



and
