Thefe plants are all Antnujls, and fliould be Town on a 

 warm border in Augtiji, vvhlch will make them flower 

 earlier in the year, and ftronger than thole plants which 

 are fown in the fpring ; but as their feed arrives in win^ 

 ter, in Britain, from abroad, it will be proper to Tow 

 them early in the (pring in a good foil, and on a moderate 

 hot-bed ; they fhould be thinned, it fown too thick ; 

 but they (bould not be tranfplanted, whereby their flow- 

 ering and feedling would be poftponed for fome weeks ; 

 but allowing thele plants to remain where they are fown, 

 they will flower foon, and perfect their feed early; 

 when the feed falls on the ground, run it over with a 

 fmall rake, to cover it, and the feed will foon come 

 lip if it is rainy weather; they will endure the winter, 

 and flower and feed early: This method I ukd for all 

 fuch plants as required rather to be fown in autumn than 

 ill the fpring.

This is an Annual plant; to be fown in Aiiguft ; and 

 wheji the plants are once fown, they will low themfelves, 

 if you allow their feed to drop ; fpring-fowing of the feed 

 does not fuccced fo well, they often failing to germinate 

 at that feafon ; keep the plants, when they appear, clear 

 from weeds, and at a foot difl:uice, plant trom plant, 

 which is all the culture they require. 



246 and 247, are plants, which, by thefe names in 

 the Dutch catalogues, I know not; hut this I know, that 

 they are Millets-^ all which Tire Annuals, and require 

 to be fown in April on a light fandy warm foil, and fhould 

 be kept clear from weeds, as foon as they appear above 

 ground, which is all the culture they require. — Their 

 feed are good for making puddjngs. 



248, 249, 250 and 251, are all f^minal varieties of 

 the falapa, but not of the Julapa officinanim-, or 'falapa 

 latbartica, that plant being now found by the late inge-
