 ' tivated to adorn Chimnies, Halls,' 

 ^c, in the Summer-feafbn ; for 

 which Purpofe there is no Plant 

 more proper, it producing fometimes 

 eight, ten, or twelve Branches, 

 which will grow four or five Feet 

 high, and produce large Quantities 

 of beautiful Flowers, almoft the 

 whole Length of the Stalks, which, 

 if kept from Rain and Sun, will 

 continue in Beauty for a long time;

This Plant is propagated either 

 by fbwing the Seeds in Marchy in. 

 a Bed of light undung'd Soil, or by 

 parting the Roots; the latter Me- 

 thod being the moft expeditious, 

 is commonly pra£fis'd ; for every 

 Dug taken from the Roots in Sep^ 

 tember or March, will grow, if 

 rightly manag'd : But the Roots 

 which are rais'd from Seeds, will 

 make the flrongeft Bloom ; for 

 which Reafbn, you fliould every 

 Year fow of the Seeds, to have a 

 Succeflion of thefe Roots for Bloom, 

 notwithflanding they are common- 

 ly three or four Years before they 

 flower : We fhould therefore tranl- 

 plant the young Plants into Nur- 

 fery-beds the September after fow- 

 ing, which Beds fhould be made 

 of a light Soil, rather dry than 

 wet : The Diftance they fliould be 

 planted at, is fix Inches fquare : 

 And if in hard frofty Weather you 

 cover the Bed with Mats, it will 

 greatly ftrengthen the young Roots; 

 in thefe Beds they may remain un- 

 til the third Year after lowing; 

 at which time, if you find the 

 Roots are ftrong, and promife well 

 for flowering, in September you 

 fhould take them up, and plant 

 them into Pots of light Soil ; and 

 if you have the Conveniency of a 

 Glafs-Frame to fhelter them in Win- 

 ter from great Rains and levere 

 Frofls, they will be vaflly the 

 ftronger for it : For alt ho' they 

 require frequent Waterings in Sum- 

 mer-time, yet too much Wet in 

 Winter is apt to rot them ; for 

 their Roots arefucculent and milky .- 

 therefore, if you have no flich 

 Conveniency, you mufl lay the 

 Pots on one Side in very wet Wea- 

 ther, and in a great Frofl fet them 

 under a warm Wall, Pale, or Hedge, 

 and cover them with Peafe- haulm, 

 ^c. obferving to lay a Jittle old
