; April, and the third ac the end of thai month, or thtf 

 beginning of May ; bu: thefc beds will require a much 

 leis qiuuicity of dnng than the firft, efpecially that 



. bed which is the lait made ^ for if there is but warmth 

 enough to put the roots in motion, it is as much as 

 will be required ; and this laft bed will need no co- 

 vering, for many times thofe roots which are planted 



' in the full ground at this feafon, will produce ftrong 

 flowers in autumn; but in order to fecure their flow- 

 ering, i- is always the belt way to plant them on a 

 gentle hot-bed. ' As to the fecond bed, that fiiould

 every night, and in bad weather, otherwife the late

■-; Thefe plants may remain in the beds until the flowers 

 .are near expanding, at which time they may be care- 

 • fully taken up, preferving the earth to their roots, 

 . and planted in pots, and then placed in the ftiadefor 

 ..about a week to recover their removal ; after v;hich 

 . -time the pots may be reniovcd into halls or o.ther 

 t' apartments, where they will continue in beauty a long 

 ijrtime, and their fragrant odour will perfume the air of 

 '■..the rooms where they are placed ; and by having a 

 .' fjccefllon of them, they may be continued from Mid- 

 >fummer to the end of October, or middle of Novem- 

 . ber ', but as the fl:ems of thefe plants advance, there 

 ; Ihould be fome fl;icks put down by each root, to which 

 . the ftems fliould be fattened, to prevent their being 

 broken by the wind. ^ ■'■ ' r"-- "' ' . - - - i . 



- It is a common pradice with many people, to plant 

 thefe roots in pots, and plunge the'pbts into a hot-bed ; 



' but there is much more trouble in raifingthem-in this 

 : . method, than in that before diredled ^ for if the roots 



- are hot planted in very fmall pots, there will be a 

 r lieceffity of making the beds much larger, in order to 



contain a quantity of the roots ; and if they are firft 

 planted in fmall pots, they fliould be fliaken out of 

 thefe into pof^ of a larger fize, when they begin to 

 llioot out their flower-ftems, otherwife the ftalks will 

 be weak, and produce but few flowers ; therefore I 

 prefer the other m.ethod, as there is no danger in re- 

 moving the roots if it is done with care. 

 •When the roots arc ftrong and properly managed, the 

 ftems will rife three or four feet high, and each ftem

 ■:when there are but a few flowers upon the ftalks
