Balfam, when double, and well marked, is a very 

 fine flower. The plain coloured red and white, femi- 

 double and fingle ones, are not of much account with 

 the curious, but may be put out in ordinary borders to 

 make a fhew. The/W of this flower mould be nicely 

 (a.vetl from the fullelt bloffomed, and diitinclly flriped 

 forts, that have not grown near fmall, or lelf-coloured 

 ones. The plants felected for feed, ihould be protected 

 fiom the wet and cold, after Mid-Auguji, by putting 

 them under. lights, or in agreen-houfe window, where 

 they may have the full fun. 



Calceolaria, the flower of* is efteemed only for th« 

 curiofity of. its flipper fhape. The blow may be con- 

 tinued all fummer, by planting cuttings. 



Capfuums are ufually ranked in the lefs tender clafs, 

 and though they are in nature fo, yet to have them fine, 

 and to fruit in time, they fhould be brought forward, 

 by being treated as balfams, &c. at leaft in fituations 

 far north of London. They are grown for the beauty 

 and ufe of their pods, which are variouily fhaped, as 

 long, heart, cherry, &c. See p. 248. 



Clcomc is a very tender annual, (has been long coia> 

 fidered as a Jlcve plant) but may come under the cul- 

 tivation of the ordinary floriit, by continuing it longer 

 in a frame, as fuppofe to Mid- July, or later, if the lea- 

 fon is then unkind ; and then plunging the pots in a 

 warm border. When autumn approaches, a hand-glafs 

 may be kt on forked flicks over this, or any tender 

 plant, and thus preferve it longer. 



Colutea is a perennial fhrub of fomewhat tender na- 

 ture, that hardly fucceeds abroad. Though the feed 

 will come up on cold ground in high fpring, yet by 

 fowing it as one of this clafs, it may be brought for- 

 w id enough to produce its beautiful flowers the fame 

 an iinui. See li/ls- IV. and X. In this lafl lift it is 

 confidered as a biennial as it may be houfed the firlt 



winter,.
