Thcfe plants bc-ing very tender, cannot be preferved 

 in England, unlefs they are kept in a warm ftove. 

 They are propagated by feeds, which fliould befown 

 on a hot-bed early in the fpring -, and when the plants 

 are come up and fit to remove, they muft be tranf- 

 planted into feparate fmall pots, and plunged into a 

 moderate hot-bed of tanners bark, v/here they muft 

 . be treated in the fame manner as hath been directed 

 for other tender plants from the fame country ; in 

 winter they muft be placed in the tan-bed in the ftove, 

 where thefe plants will thrive, and in two or three 

 years will flower, when they will make an agreeable 

 variety amongft other tender exotic plants, for they 

 retain their leaves all the year ; and thofe of the fe- 



■ cond fort being of a lively green, make a iine appear- 

 ance at all feafons.
