 culture they will rcquiie after this, is only to keep 

 ti)ein elean from weeds. 



Thole who are curious to have fine Poj)pies in thc:r 

 gardens, carefully look over their plants when they 

 begin to flower, and cut up all thofe jjlants whofc 

 ilowcrs are not very double and well Jiiarked, before 

 they open their flowers, to prevent their farina mixing 

 with tl.eir flner flowers, which would degenerate 

 ihem i and it is the not being careful of this, that 

 caufes the flowers to degenerate To frequently hi ma- 

 ny places, which is often fuppofed to be occafioncd 

 by the ground.

The yellow Welfli Poppy i^equires a cool fliady fitu- j The firfl: fort grows naturally in Germany and llol- 



ation, where the plants will thrive^ and produce plenty 

 of feeds annually. If thefeleeds are permitted to fcat-

 by hand ; bur if they are fown, it fliould be always in 

 the autumn -, for the feeds of this, which are fown in 

 the fpring, rarely fuccecd. , . . . ■

 I brought it here. This is fuppofed to be the true 

 fort which is recommended by the ancients to be ufed 

 in medicine •, it hath a thick perennial root, compofed 

 of flefliy reddilli fibres, from which arife many ftalks

Theeaftern Poppy will thrive either in fun or fiiadc, 



for I have feveral of thefe plants growing under trees, 



where they have thriven many years, and flower full 



as well as thole in an open fituation, but came later in 



the feafon. This will propagate very fait by its 



roots, fo there is no necefl^ity for fowing the feeds, 



unlefs to procure new varieties. .This fort fliould be 



tranfplanted at the fame feafon as the former; and if 



the feeds are fown, it fhould be at the fame time, for 



the reafons before given.
