for edging to the borders of the pleafure-garden, where, 

 if they are of the right kind, they will make a very 

 pretty {how. 



By this management of their feed and feedling plants, 

 ams I 749, I raifed in my garden a plant of the whole 

 podded double Siveet IVilliam, of a finer colour than 

 Fairchild\ Mule, and mixed with a black fimbriation 

 round the infide of the uppermoft petals. Thefe plants 

 put into pots in a frefh light foil, make a pretty appear- 

 ance in the windows or chimnies of rooms in fummer.

 Narrovj-leaved Virginian Field Bafil, with the largeft yel- 

 low flowers fpotted with purple. 



This is a pretty ftiowy plant, the feed ftiould be fown 

 upon a very dry warm foil, and is hardy enough j though 

 in cafe of extreme hard weather, I had fome of them 

 in pots, the better to preferve them from the rigour of 

 our hard winters; you may fow them upon a moderate 

 hot-bed.

 have white flowers, and others have purplifh. 



The feed of thefe plants fhould be fown in March 

 upon a bed of frefh undunged earth, and fhould be kept 

 clear from weeds, and thinned, if fown too thick; they 

 flower the feccnd year after fowing, but do not agree 

 with tranfplanting.

 a blood coloured flower mixed with yellow fpots. 



The feed of this plant I always fovi'ed in March on 

 a moderate hot-bed, and in May tranfplanted them into 

 pots, flieltering them in winter in an airy cafe, and gave 

 them frefh earth in the fpringof the fucceedingyear, by 

 fuch culture they flowered and feeded well.
