and fix inches afunder in the rows ; but this (hould 

 not be performed till April, after the danger of 

 hard froft is over i for as the plants do not put out 

 their leaves till very late, fo there will be no hazard 

 in removing them any time before May. If the fea- 

 fon Ihould prove dry, they muft be watered ; and if 

 the furface of the beds is covered with mols, or mulch, 

 to prevent the earth from drying, it will be of great 

 fervice to the plants. In thcfe beds the plants may 

 remain two years, during which time they muft be 

 conftantly kept clean from weeds ; and in the winter 

 there fhould be fome rotten tan, or other mulch, fpread 

 over the furface of the ground to keep out the froft. 

 If the plants thrive well, they will be fit to tranfplant 

 to the places where they are to remain after two 

 years growth, for they do not bear removing when 



large J the beft feafon for tranfplantlng of thele trees, 

 is late in the fpnng > they thrive beft in a light deep 

 foil, for in ftrong ftiallow ground they become mofly, 

 and never grow large ; they Ihould alfo have a ftiel- 

 . tered fituation, for when they are much expofed to 

 winds, their branches are frequently broken in the 

 fummer feafon, when they are fully clothed with 



leaves. ^ •

The firft of thefe plants grows plentifully about Mont- 

 pelier, as alfo at the foot of the mountains Jura and 

 Saleva, and in many other parts of Italy, and in Ger- 

 many ; this plant hath leaves very like thofe of the 

 Daify, but are thicker and fmoother. The flower- 

 ftalks rife about fix inches high, fupporting a glo- 

 bular head of flowers, compofed of feveral fiorei-s 

 which are included in one common fcaly empalement- 

 they are of a fine blue colour, and appear in June • 

 thefe are fucceeded by feeds, which fit in the empale- 

 ment, and ripen in autumn. 



The fecond fort grows plentifully in the woods, near 

 the convent of the Carthufians, and on the Pyrenean 

 . mountains ; this is much larger than the former, and 

 hath a Ihrubby ftalk a foot and a half high ^ tlie foot- 

 ftalk is quite naked. The Jeaves are narrpwer, and 

 much longer. 



The firft fort may be propagated by parting of the 

 roots after the manner of Daifies. The beft feafon 

 for parting and traniplanting of the plants is in Sep- 

 tember, that they may take new root before the frofty 

 weather comes on. They ftiould be planted in a 

 fliady fituation, and require a moift loamy foil, in 

 which they will thrive much better than in a light 

 ground and an open fituation ; but the plants fhould 

 not be removed oftener than every other year, if they 

 are required to flower ftrong. 



The third fort grows about Montpelier in France, 

 and in Valentia, and feveral other parts of Spain. This 

 has a hard woody ftem, which rifes about two feet 

 high, having many woody branches, befet with leaves 

 like thofe of the Myrtle-tree. On the top of the 

 . branches the flowers are produced, which are of a 

 blue colour, and globe-lhaped ; this plant may be 

 propagated. by cuttings, which Ihould be cut off in 

 ; . April, juft before they begin to make new ftioots ; the 

 . cuttings ftiould be planted into pots filled with light 

 frefh earth, and then placed into a very moderate hoc- 

 bed, obferving to_water and fliade them until they have 

 taken root, when they may be taken out of the bed, 

 and inured to bear the open air by degrees. In fum- 

 mer thefe plants may be expofed with other hardy ex- 

 otic plants, and in winter they fliould be placed under 

 a hot-bed frame, where they may enjoy the free air 

 in mild weather, but fhould be fcreened from hard 

 froft, which will deftroy them, if they are expofed 

 thereto, but in mild winters tliey will live in the open 

 air. This plant never produces good feeds in this 

 country. 



The fourth fort was found in the mountains of Gra- 

 nada, by Dr. Albinus ; this plant is of low growth, 

 and may be propagated as the firft ^ as may alfo the 

 fifth fort, which is the leall of all the forts, and the 

 moft hardy ; therefore ftiould have a fliady fituation, 

 and a cool moift foil. 



The fixth fort was found by Dr. Tournefort in the 

 Levant -, this is fomewhat tender, and Ihould be fliel- 

 tered from the froft in winter, under a frame, but in 

 fummer it ftiould be expofed with other hardy exotic 

 plants, and will require to be frequently watered in 

 dry weather. This may be propagated by feeds, or 

 by parting of their roots, as was directed for the firft 

 fort. .. .
