and white flower. Some of thel'e feeds I fowed in Fe- 

 bruary ^ upon a moderate hot-bed, which puthed ihera 

 forward ; thefe I planted out early in the month of Jlpril, 

 and had the fame fuccefs with them; as I had with thofe 

 which I fowed in autumn : At which feafon I would re- 

 commend the lowing of all fucli flower-feeds, when 

 there is (belter to prcferve them in winter. 

 We are now come to the double purple fort. 



28. ylfier Conizoides. 



29. 'Jdcobea folio. 



Thefe are the two forts of Annual AftcrifcuSy or Tcl- 

 lovj Starwcrts, at leafl, if any flower can be fo named : 

 They mufl: be fown early in the fpring, on a warm open 

 border; It is needlefs to tranfplant them ; for it is better 

 to allow them to remain where they are fown ; by v.hich 

 means, they will flower fooner, and of confequence feed 

 better than if they were tranfplanted. 



30. Atripkx baccifera is the Chenopodio-morus minor, 

 Boerb. hid. Smaller Mulberry Blight, or Berry Bearing 

 Orach. 



3r. Odorato is the Chenopodio-morus major^ Boerh. Ind. 

 Greater Mulberry B light t or Straxvberry Spinage; but 

 why it is in the Dutch catalogue named Odorato, is what 

 I cannot comprehend, becaufe really this plant has but a 

 very faint fmell, if any. 



The uncommon and beautiful appearance of the flow- 

 ers and feed-veffels of thefe two laft named plants, makes 

 them deferve a place in every good garden. That they 

 might bloflbm and feed early, I ufed the following 

 culture: About the middle of February, 1 fowed them 

 upon a hot-bed, whofe greateft heat was over; and 

 as foon as they came up, gave them air in good wea- 

 ther, by taking off the glalTes, that they might not 

 be drawn too much, obferving alfo to water them 

 when occafion required : Towards the middle of April, 

 I tranfplanted them into a bed of rich ground, eight 

 inches diflance, plant from plant, lifting them with as 

 much earth out of the hot-bed as I could, that their 

 tender roots might not be injured by iranfpl'antlng: 

 This work 1 performed in an evening, and watered them 

 with a bottle between their roots, rather than with a 



garden.
