all the fingle or bad colour*d ones, 

 and throw them away, cutting ofF 

 all the Flowers from your befl 

 Roots fo foon as they have (hewn 

 themielves, which will greatly add 

 to the preferving them fair in their 

 Colours j and thefe Roots will be 

 ftrong enough to divide at Michael- 

 7nasy when you may tranfplant 

 them into your Borders, but do 

 not divide them too fmall, which 

 will weaken their Bloom the fuc- 

 ceeding Year. 



In order to keep up a SucceiTion 

 of good Flowers, you Should fow 

 frefh Seeds every Year j and if you 

 can meet with a Friend, at fome 

 Diftance, who is furnifh'd with 

 good Flowers of this Kind, it will 

 be very advantageous to both Par- 

 ties, to exchange Seeds once in two 

 Years, by which Means they will 

 not be apt to degenerate into plain 

 Colours.

Thefe are propagated either by 

 fbwing their Seeds, or by parting 

 of their Roots; which lafl being 

 the moft expeditious Method, is 

 commonly pradlis'd in England; for 

 the Seeds often abide in the Ground 

 until the fecond Year before they 

 arife, and are two Years more be- 

 fore they flower. 



They love a good frcfli Soil, not 

 too wet, and fhould be planted 

 early in the Spring, and are very 

 hardy in refpedi to Cold. 



The third Sort grows with us 

 to the Height of icven or eight 

 Feet : It has produced Flowers in 

 the Fhyfick-Garden at Chelfea two 

 or three times, but has not per- 

 fedied its Seeds in England that I 

 have yet heard. 



This Shrub requires a dry Soil, 

 and a warm Situation, otherwife 

 it is fubjedt to be injurM by Frofts 

 in the Winter : This is only pro- 

 pagated by Seeds, which are fre- 

 quently brought from America.

This Tree is found in great 

 Plenty in moft Parts of Virginia 

 'and Carolina, from whence it is 

 brought to England, and was for 

 fevcral Years preferv'd in Pots, 

 and hous'd in Winter, but hath 

 been iince found to be hardy enough 

 to refifl the feverefl Cold of our 

 Winters in the open Ground. 



This Plant may be propagated 

 by laying down the young Branches 

 in the Spring of the Year, which,
