Thefe plants (hould be fovvn in April or May, in an 

 iindunged fandy foil; for if they arc fown in rich l-.nd, 

 they will neither flower nor prcfper: In OSlober follow- 

 ing, I cut down their ftems (efpeciaiiy thofe wjiich at- 

 tempt to ftowcr the firft year) within three inches of the 

 ground, whereby their roots will be flrengthencd ; and 

 the beginning of April following, I tranfplanted them 

 into the fame fort of foil, to remain there for flowering: 

 If they are tranfplanted into pots, I choofe to perform 

 this work the fecond year after fowing ; and when they 

 had done blowing, took cfFthe ofF-fets from the mother 

 plants in April, but always from their befl flowers; then 

 planted them in the pots in a lean fandy foil, mixed with 

 fome lime rubbifb, which had lain a year incorporating 

 with the earth before ufing it; by which means I have 

 prefcrved thefe plants in vigour for feveral years, and 

 have had them to ripen their feeds very well with me, 

 from which I have raifed many fine feminal varieties.

 or the Prickly Poppy. This is an annual plant, which 

 ihould be fown in March, and in May tranfplanted into 

 the borders of the fiower-garden, where it will thrive 

 and perfefl: its feeds fo well, that thofe feeds fcattered on 

 the borders will appear foon in the fprmg, and produce 

 their flowers annually.

ITiis plant requires the fame culture with the Snap- 

 dragon or Antirrhinums; they grow beft in a fandy, or 

 rather a floney foil; for if they are planted in a rich 

 dunged foil, they never flower fo well, and very often 

 rot in winter ; wherefore I would advife to pl:mt them 

 in court-yards, near walls, and upon a fandy or rocky 

 foil, where they will make a handfome appearance in 

 moil of the fummer months.
