 the gardeners near London for farnifliing balconies, 

 and other little places in and near the city, by vvay of 

 ornament. Thefe feven forts are hardy plants, which 

 will thrive in the open air, provided they are planted 

 in a poor dry foil, for in fuch ground the plants will 

 be ftinted, fo will be hardy and better able to refift the 

 cold ; and they will have a better appearance than
