In a former number of this work, we gave a figure of the — 
Scarlet Ipomeea, which every one poffefling a garden, at leaft 
in the more fouthern parts of this kingdom, might gratify 
themfelves with a fight of, it being hardy enough to flower _ 
an¢ ripen its feeds in the open border; but the prefent fpecies, 
anannual alfo, and equally beautiful, with greater fingularity 
of foliage, can be brought to perfection only in the ftove or 
hot-houfe. | 
Its feeds fhou'd be fown early in the fpring, two or three in 
a fmall pot; when the plants are fo far advanced as to fhew 
a difpofitian to climb, they fhould be removed with a ball of 
earth into a middle-fized pot, in which one, two, or three 
fticks, four ar five feet high fhould be ftuck, for the plants to | 
_ climb up; in the months of June and July they will flower, and — 
ripe feed will be produced in September. | 
This elegant fpecies, a native of both the Indies, was culti- 
vated here by Parkinson, who minutely defcribes it in his 
Parad terr. when {peaking of the feed, he obferves, “ with us 
* it will feldom come to flower, becaufe our cold nights and 
_“ frofts come fo foone, before it cannot have comfort enough 
of the fun to ripen it,”
