To fave fetd that is moft promifing for double, 

 mark thole flowers which have five or fix leaves, by 

 tying a bit of thread round them. A f ingle flowering 

 plant tint has double ones growing near It, produces 

 good feed ; but thofe fmgle flowers that come out 

 kefere the double' ones appear, it is proper to take off, 

 as alfo all the late flowers, which if they, ripen their 

 feeds at all, would be weak ; and a plant having but 

 few pods to ripen, will certainly produce the boldeft 

 feed, and of couiie the largelt plants and flowers may 

 be expected from it. Be fure that the feed ls rife before 

 gathered, and that it is kept dry y in their pods, clofe 

 tied in paper bags. 



Sultan, the yellow is the fineff. flower, and has a 

 very agreeable nmfkv fcent : but it is the tendereff ,. and 

 will hardly fucceed well without theafliflance oi heat ta 

 bring the feeds up: It will come, however, if fown 

 under a fmalf hand-glafs, that is air tight,, on a warm 

 border. The yellow produces much finer flowers,, ii 

 pricked out upon a fecond flight hot- bed _ 



Zinnia-, the colours of this flower are dingy, but yet 

 agreeable. Some gardeners chufe to treat it as the 

 balfam \ but a moderate- hot-bed will produce the 

 plants forward enough to ripen theiF feeds. Zinnia is, 

 however, rather impatient of cold.. In May may fow 

 in open ground for a late blow.
