Sicily, flowers in the open border in July, and ripens its feeds 
in September. 
Long fince cultivated in our gardens, but more as rary 
or curious, than a beautiful plant. : 
Its feeds are to be fown in April, on a bed of light earth, 
where they are to remain; no other care is neceffary than 
_ thinning them, and keeping them clear of weeds.
