 The firft lort grows naturally in Virginia and other 

 parts of North America-, this was the finl known in 

 Europe of all the fpecics, but was not very conimon 

 in the Englifh gardens till of late years, 

 this plant is perennial, 



a> 



, , - 1 he root of 



but the ilailv is annual in 



North America, dying to the ground every winter ^, 

 it alfo does in England, unlcfs it is placed in a Ibv^' 

 The ftalks of this are flender, rifing about four or 

 five feet high, having tendrils or clafpcrs at each 

 joint, which fallen themfelves about whatever plan: 

 Hand near them, whereby the flralk is fupportcd. \t 

 each joint comes out one leaf upon a Ihort foot-ftalk • 

 thefe have for the mod part three oblong lobes, which 

 join at their bafe, but the two fide lobes are' fome- 

 times divided part of their length into two narrow 

 fegments, fo as to refemble a five-lobed leaf; thcv 

 are thin, of a light green, and fligkly fawed on iheiV 

 edges. The flowers are produced from the joints of 

 the ftalk at the foot-ftalks of the leaves ; thelc have 

 long flender foot-ftalks fucceeding each other a5 the 

 ftalks advance in height, during the fummer months. 

 The involucrum of the flower is compofed of five 

 oblong blunt-pointed leaves, of a pale careen ; thcfe 

 open and difclofc five more leaves or petals, which arc 

 v/hite, having a fringe or circle of rays of a double 

 order round the ftyle, of a purple colour, the lower 

 row being the longeft. In the center of this arifes 

 the pillar-like ftyle, with the roundifti germen at the 

 top, furrounded at the bottom, wliere it adheres to 

 the ftyle, with five flattifh ftamina which fpread out 

 every way, and fuftain each of them an oblona fum- 

 mit which hang downward, and on their under fide 

 are covered with a yellow farina. The flowers have 

 • an agreeable fcent, but are of fliort duration, open- 

 ing iri'^tlie morning," and fade away in the evening, 

 rieve^r'dpening again,' but are fucceeded by frefli flow- 

 ers, which come out at the joints of the ftalk above 

 them. _ ' When the flovvers fade, .the roundilh germen 

 fwells to a fruit as large as a middling Apple, which 

 changes to a pale Orange colour when ripe, inclofing 

 many oblong rough feeds inclofed in a fweetifh pulp. 

 This fort is ufually propagated by feeds which are 

 brought from America, for the feeds do not often 

 ripen in England; though I have fometimeshad fc- 

 vcral fruit perfeftly ripe on plants, which wcreplung- ' 

 ed in a tan-bed under a deep frame ; but thofe plants 



w which are expofed to the open air, do not produce 

 fruit here. The feeds fliould be fown upon a mode- 

 rate hot-bed, which will bring up the plants much 

 fooner than when they are fown in the open air, fo 

 they will have more time to get ftrength before winter. 

 When the plants are, come up two or three inches 

 high, they ftiould be carefully taken up, and each 

 , planted in a feparate fmall pot filled with good kitch- 

 en-garden earth, and plunged into a moderate hot- 

 bed to forward their taking new root; after which 



. ^eyfhould be gradually inured to bear the open air, 

 to which they ftiould be expofed in fummer, but in 



■ tKe autumn they muft be placed under" a garden-frame 

 to fcreen thfenn from the troft ; but they Ihould have 



. the free air at all times in mild weather. The Ipring 

 following fome of thefe plants may be turned put of 

 the pots, and planted in a warm border, where, if 



' they are covered with, tanners bark every winter to 

 keep out the froft, they will live feveral years, their 

 ftalks decaying in the autumn, and new ones arife m 

 the fpring, which in warm' feafons will flower very 

 well. If thofe plants which are continued in pots, are 

 plunged into a tan-bed, fome of them may produce 

 fruit ; and, if the ftalks of thefe are laid d.ov^^ in 

 the beginning of June, into pots of earth plung(;d 

 near them, they will take root by the endof Auguft, 

 fo that tlie plant's may be eafily propagated this way. 

 The fecond fort has not been many years in England, 

 but Is how the moft common. This grows naturally 

 in the Brafils, yet is hardy enough to thrive in the 

 open air here, and is feldom injured except in very 



,fevere winters, which commonly kills the branches to 

 " ■ the ground, and fometimes'deftroys the roots; this
