Thefe Plants were originally 

 brought from about the Cafe of 

 Good Hope into the curious Gardens 

 in Holland, where they have been 

 propagated, and from whence they 

 hive been dillributed into the fe- 

 veral Parts of Europe, where they 

 are now growing. 



Th?y are propagated by planting 

 Cuttings of them in a Bed ot 

 light frefh Earth in any of the Sum- 

 mer Months, obfcrving to fnade 

 them from the Heat of the Sun 

 until they have taken Root, as alio 

 to refrcfh them often with Water, 

 and in iix Weeks or two Months 

 afrer planting, they will be rooted 

 ilifficicntiy j at which Time you 

 jTiould tranfplant them nito Pots 

 hil'd with the like frefli Earth, let- 

 ting the Pots in a fliady Place until 

 the Plants are fettled in their n^w 

 Earth: After which Time you fhould 

 expofe them to the open Air until 

 the latter End of October, or later, 

 according as you find the Weather 

 is favourable, v/hen you muft re- 

 move the Pots into the Green- 

 boulc, where they fhould be plac'd 

 as near the Windov/ as polVible, that 

 they may have a good Quantitv of 

 fiec Air at all times, when the Wea- 

 ther is mildj nor fliould they be over-

hung by other Plants, which would 

 occaiion them to take a Mould inefs, 

 and rot ; you mud alfo frequently re- 

 frefh them with Water, but give 

 them but a little at each Time during 

 the Winter- Seafon^ but in Summer 

 they will require a greater Plenty, as 

 alio to be often repeated. 



Thefe Plants being pretty hardy, 

 are only hurt by great Froll-s ; they 

 may therefore be kept in the fame 

 Houfe with Myrtles, and alio expos'd 

 in the Summer with them ; they 

 will require to be fliifted our of their 

 Pots twice every Year, i>iz.. in the 

 Beginning of June, and again in Ah- 

 gnft ; at which Times you Ihouid cut 

 clV a good Qiiantity of the Roots 

 iound the Outiide of their Balls ( but 

 be very careful not to fhake the Earth 

 intirely from the Roots ) i and at 

 thefe Times you flioulJprunc off the 

 draggling Branches, the better to, 

 form their Heads into a regular 

 Figure ; but do not fliortcn their 

 Branches, for that would cut off 

 their Flower-Buds. 



The fourth Sort is annual, and 

 therefore only to be propagated by 

 Seeds (which Way alio the other 

 Sorts may be increas'd, if we have 

 good Seeds, wh'ch are but rarely 

 obtain'd in England) j the Seeds 

 fliould be fown on a moderate Hot- 

 bed in the Spring ; and when the 

 Plants arc come up, they fliould be 

 traniplanted into Pots of frefli Earth,, 

 and piung'd into another very mode- 

 rate Hot-bed to bring them forward, 

 and afterwards expos'd to the open 

 Air by Degrees i but the fourth Sort 

 is verv lubjedfc to be deflroy'd by 

 fmall Inied:s, which prey upon the 

 Plants ; you fhould therefore careful- 

 ly wadi them off", whenever they 

 appear thereon. 



The three tirll: Sorts fhould be fre- 

 quently renew'd from Cuttings j for 

 when they erow pld, they are very
