The Gardener's New DiREeroR. 41J. 

 cultivated in the Eafl Indies. I planted the feed in large 

 tubs of good earth, and placed them in a tan hot-bed, 

 that they might have room to grow both above and be- 

 low ground, which they cannot do, when they are con- 

 fined in the narrow bounds ot pots ; and without this 

 pra£l:ice, the plants will not ripen their feed, which are 

 indeed a very extraordinary produflfon of nature. 



389. Campanula vulgar tor, foliis iirtica irl major et af- 

 perior, flore duplici albo majore, Boerh. bid. Large Nettle- 

 leaved Bell-floiver, with large double white flowers. 



390. Campanula vulgar ior, foliis iirtic<i^, vel major et 

 afperior, jlore duplici caruleo, Hort. Reg. Pari fun. Large 

 Nettle-leaved Bell-flotuer, with a large double blue flower 



The feed of thefe plants, which are but femi-double 

 flowers, fhoidd be fown in a bed of very fine rich fandy 

 earth in Jpril ; in July they may be tranfplanted, where 

 they are to remain tor good, Pnould be kept quite clear 

 .from weeds, and be watered at planting, to fettle the 

 earth to them; they will endure tlie feverity of our win- 

 ters very well. But if they oflFer to flower the firft year, 

 their ftems fhouid be cut down to the leaves, and the 

 fecond year they will flower, and feme of them will feed 

 ■well. 



Some of thefe I planted in pots, to have them bloflom 

 early in rooms. Their common name is the Fiola Ma- 

 riana \ they are fold in pots in May and in June, at Rome, 

 to adorn their chambers. 



391. Vulneraria rujlica, J B. Rujlic IVoundiuort Kid- 

 ney Fetch, or Ladf s Finger. Their feed fhould be fown 

 in March, and fliould be kept clear from weeds, and 

 they will ftand the winter very wi;ll, and will flower and 

 feed well the fucceeding fcalon. 



Such Seeds as are to be foivn on Hot-beds. 



392. Jbutilum hulicum, fiorc aurantii coloris, "J. E. the 

 Indian Ahutilon, with or.mge coloured flowers. 



The feed of this plant muft be raifcd on a hot-bed, 

 and afterwards tranfplanted into pots, or borders of good 

 frcfli light earth ; and it being an Annual plant, will flower 

 and ripen its feed; which to have in perfection, the pots 

 fhould be removed in Augufl into the grccn-lioufe.
