 moderate hot-bed it will greatly forward them. 



They must be kept free from weeds till the autumn, in the first 

 situation, when they should be taken up with good balls to their 

 roots, and be planted out in the borders or other parts, where they 

 are to remain. They may also be increased by planting cuttings of 

 the branches in summer, in a shady spot, or in large pots, giving 

 them shade and water, and afterwards removing them into other 

 pots. 



The fifth species must be raised annually by sowing the seeds in 

 patches, in the places where the plants arc to remain, in the spring. 

 When the plants appear, they should be properly thinned, and kept 

 perfectly free from weeds. 



All the sorts, except the second, may be employed for ornament in 

 the beds or borders of gardens and pleasure-grounds; some of them- 

 affording a fine smell, as well as pretty effect in their flowers. They 

 should be raised almost annually, in order to keep good plants. 



The second kind is chiefly introduced among green-house col- 

 lections, both for variety and the fragrant balsamic smell which it 

 affords.
