formed in the prefent year, that they flower in the 

 next. It weak, or fmall roots are planted, thev mould 

 not be fuffered to blow the firft year. To propagate 

 by cuttings, do it when the items are about eight or 

 nine inches long, (i. e. before flowering; making each 

 into two ; and plant them a Iktle more than half way 

 deep, in an eaft border, in good frefh undunged foil. 

 Keep them cool by occafional watering, and if the 

 cuttings attempt to flower, be fure to nip the buds off. 

 Cuttings of Items that have flowered, will fometimes 

 grow, but they make weak plants : A hand-giafs would 

 be of fervice over them. Sec pink at the end of this 

 ie&ion. 



Rudbeckia, or American fun -flower, is a little tender, 

 and mull be accommodated accordingly. Like the 

 rocket, it is rather (feme forts at leaft) unapt to form 

 offsets ; and therefore to encourage the putting them 

 torth, (without which the plant dies) the flems may 

 be cut down to prevent flowering : That is, when 

 plants are more defired than flowers. 



liufh will be proper only for places that; are con- 

 ftantly wet, by Handing water ; and in fuch a fituation 

 they will prove ornamental. 



Sat racena is a native of the bogs of North America. 

 It requires therefore a moid iituation ; but is found to 

 need protection iroin our fharp fruits. The whole 

 plant is of curious formation.. It is not apt to ripen its 

 feeds here, or JO make offsets; lo that both are fre- 

 quently imported, 



Saxifrage, plants are u{u'c\\\)\ potted to move into the 

 houfe when m. flower, as -indeed the pyramidal m par- 

 ticular, fhould he ; but they 'are all very hardy, except 

 the. ffrawberry fort, (not very handfomej which is too 

 , tender to enduie much wet and cold. 



Senna, of Maryland,; muit have a dry foil and warm 



fituation. It is annual in flalk, and. therefore the 



roots may be well protected in winter : This flower
