« plants generally produce in plenty; thefe fhould be fown 
“ in autumn, foon after they are ripe, either in a fhady moift 
u border, or in pots, which fhould be placed in the fhade ; in 
“ the fpring, the plants will come up, and muft then be kept 
" clean from weeds ; and, if the feafon proves dry, they muft 
u be frequently refreflied with water : nor fhould they be ex- 
“ pofed to the fun ; for while the plants are young, they are 
“ very impatient of heat, fo that I have known great numbers 
,r of them deftroyed in tw T o or three days, which were growing 
** to the full fun. Thefe young plants fhould not be tranf- 
<c planted till the leaves are decayed, then they may be care- 
" fully taken up and planted in a fhady border, where the foil 
u is loofe and moift, at about eight inches diftance from each 
other, which will he room enough for them to grow one 
** year, by which time they will be ftrong enough to produce 
** flowers, fo may then betranfplanted into fome fhady borders 
** in the flower-garden, where they will appear very ornamental 
“ during the continuance of their flowers.” Miller s Gard. Ditt*
