but fowing in the place where it is to grow (as directed 

 for the lupine) is the beft way. 



Mulleins prefer a light foil, but like a north border ; 

 and the borage leaved being very low, is proper for an 

 edging in a cool fhadv fituation. 



Orpine, this, as all fucculent plants, fhould have a dry 

 foil and fituation, and not often watered. 



PaJJion floiver fhould be planted againft a warm wall, 

 where it may have room to fpread, as it is a very free 

 /hooter. The forts are numerous, (for green-boufe 

 and Jlove) but only this well fuits open culture. In 

 fine fituations, and the fouthern parts of England, there 

 are two more, however, that may do abroad. Prune 

 it about Michaelmas, leaving the moots from two to 

 four feet long, as the ftrength of the plants, or room, 

 dictates, and a foot afunder. Before the frofts come, 

 cover the roots, a yard round, with dry litter ; and re- 

 new it with dry, when afterwards it gets much and 

 long wet. The branches alfo mould be covered with 

 a mat (a thin one, and not over clofe) before Jevere 

 iroft fets in ; but uncover as foon in fpring as may be, 

 or, in {hort, in mild weather, on days through the 

 winter, if not too much trouble. This flower has 

 been fometimes trained to a flake, in which cafe, 

 fhorter pruning mufl take place to keep it down. It 

 bears upon the young moots, which fhould be regu- 

 larly trained in. The flowers are the glory only of a 

 day, but generally a great number are produced in fuc- 

 ceffion. It takes readily from cuttings, ol about feven or 

 eight inches long, cut in March or April, and planted in a 

 good foil, kept cool by water, and fhaded from much fun. 



Pink, the forts are numerous, {or feed is conftantly 

 producing new varieties, occafionally one among many 

 that vies with its famed predecellbrs in beauty, and 

 whofe fuperior excellence is not negle&ed by theferijf. 

 He gives it a name as f .ncy direfts, and it is enrolled 

 in the nurferyman s catalogue of worthies. The pink 

 (as the carnation was) might be confidered biennially, 

 the good forts being regularly layered, &c. every year
