foil, and fun. The fmgle white lilies are very fweet ; 

 bur the doubles are inodorous, as is the cafe with fome 

 other flowers, the fragrance arifing from xhejlatnhia and 

 anthcra, which are often fmothered by numerous petals. 

 The Aiamafco, Guemfev, belladonna , and pancratium 

 lilies, are tender, and ihould have a warm, or a good 

 auricula foil, a full funny border, and well fheltered 

 fituation ; protect alfo from much wet in cold feafons, 

 and afford fecurity from fro ft. Thefe are very elegant 

 and noble flowers, and the Quernfey lily is equal to, if 

 not beyond, any plant in the flowery creation : This 

 is, however, the tendered of the four : then the bclla- 

 donna, and pancratium lily, or Jea daffodil ; the atamafco 

 is the hardieft. All of them are ufually potted for re- 

 moving into (belter ; but they may be managed (fee 

 albuca) fo as to do abroad, except in the more northern 

 and bleak parts of this ifland : They blow much the 

 finer in open ground, (all things going on well) the 

 roots having a free fcope to draw nourifhment, &c. 



Orchis is rather difficult of culture : It likes a dry 

 barren foil, and the roots mould be taken up (from the 

 places it grows wild) juji as the leaves decay after 

 flowering ; and with a ball of earth about them, as 

 then the chance of fucceedingis much greater. Upon 

 removal, let them be planted directly, and remain in 

 their places for years. 



Pcconv, the fingle kinds are fhowy, but the doubles 

 are nobly ornamental. Let this flower have room, 

 as it will fpread (when in full fized bunchesj a yard 

 round : and let it be planted out of the way of the full 

 fun, and of much wind, that the flowers may continue. 

 It need not be removed for many years, and. will grow 

 in any foil and fituation, even among trees, which 

 adapts it for Jhr liberies, &zc. The forts are divide! 

 into male and female ; and the former, having loft its 

 flower, produces pods, containing rich crimfon grains, 

 interfperfed with black berries, that look very pretty 

 whenburit; and may be gathered, as foon, or rather
