Thefe Plants are Natives of 

 America, where there are feveral 

 other Species than are here enu- 

 merated. They may be rais'd from 

 Seeds, which may be obtained 

 from famaica, Barbados, or any 

 of the warm Iflands in the Wefi- 

 Indies, where they are known by 

 the Name of Wild Sage, Thefe 

 Seeds fliould be ibwn in February 

 or March, m fmall Pots filled with 

 light rich Earth, which fhould be 

 plunged into a Hot-bed of Tanners- 

 bark, obferving to refrelh the Earth 

 often with Water, and in the Heat 

 of the Day, the GlafTes fhould be 

 rais'd to admit the Air to the Pots, 

 Otherwife the Bed will be fo hot 

 as to endanger the fcalding of the 

 Seeds. In about five or fix Weeks 

 after the Seeds are fown, the Plants 

 will begin to appear, v/hen you

muft be careful to refreHi them 

 often with Water, as alfo to give 

 them Air in Proportion to the 

 Warmth of the Bed in which they 

 are placed ; and fo foon as the 

 Plants are two Inches high, they 

 fhould be taken carefully out of 

 the Pots in which they were fown, 

 and tranfplanted, each into a fepa- 

 rate fmall Pot, filled with frefb 

 light Earth, and plunged again into 

 the Hot-bed i but you muftobferve 

 to ftir up the Bark with a Dung- 

 Fork, that it may renew its Heat i 

 and when the Pots are plunged, 

 you muft water them pretty well, 

 to fettle the Earth to the Plants, 

 which muft be repeated often, you 

 muft alfo Ihade the Glaffes, until 

 the Plants have taken new Rootj 

 after which Time they fliould have 

 Air and Water in Proportion to 

 the Heat of the Seafon, and the 

 Bed in v/hich they are placed. 



By the Middle or latter End of 

 June, the Plants will have acquired 

 Strength, and the Roots will fill 

 the fmall Pots into which they 

 were planted ; therefore you Ihould 

 fhake them out of thofc, and put 

 them into Pots of a larger Size, 

 which fhould be again plunged in- 

 to the Hot-bed to encourage the 

 Plants to take Root ; after which 

 Time they fliould be inured by De- 

 grees to the open Air, into which 

 they fhould be removed in the Mid- 

 dle of July, placing them in a 

 warm Situation, where they may 

 be defended from ftrong Winds; 

 aad toward the End of the Month 

 they will begin to fhew their Flow- 

 ers, which are produced in Clufters 

 at the Extremity of the Branches, 

 and will continue in Beauty for 

 near three Months. 



Toward the End of September^ 



thefe Plants muft be removed into 



the Stove obferving to place them
