 C. B. The Purging Cafia, or Pud- 

 ding-Pipe-Tree. 



Thefe CaJJia's are all propagated 

 by Seeds, which muft be fown in 

 a Hot-bed in February, and after- 

 wards tran {planted into Pots, which 

 inuft be plung'd into another Hot- 

 bed, and muft be kept forward, 

 by removing them from one Hot- 

 bed to anotlier (as was diredred 

 for the Amaranths.) Nor fhould 

 thefe Plants be ever expos'd to the 

 open Air, if we intend to fee them 

 flower } they muft therefore be 

 kept in a warm Stove in Winter, 

 and be carefully manag'd : Many of 

 thefe Plants will flower the fecond 

 Year, and fome of them produce 

 ripe Seeds with us; nay, fome- 

 times, many of them will flower 

 the firft Year, if they were fown 

 very early, as the fifth, lixth, 

 feventh, and eight Sorts frequently 

 do J but then they are more apt to 

 decay in Winter, than thofe which 

 do not flower : The fourth Sort 

 v/ill endure the fevereft Cold of 

 the Winter in the open Ground, 

 nnd increafes plentifully by the 

 Root : This produces Flowers in 

 the Autumn ; but our Summers 

 arc not v/arm enough to ripen their 

 Speds. The ninth Sort grows to 



c A 



be a very large Tree, not only m 

 Alexandria, but alfo in the M^cjl- 

 Indies : This is what produces the 

 purging CaJJia. of the Shops, and 

 may be rais'd by fowing frefti 

 Seeds (taken out of the Pulp) in 3 

 Hot-bed in the Spring of the Year, 

 and muft be managed as the other 

 Sorts : This will grow with us to 

 be a handfome Shrub, but muft be 

 kept in a warm Stove, otherwife 

 it will not endure through the 

 Winter. All thefe CaJJra's love a 

 light fandy Soil, and in warm Wea- 

 ther mufl be frequently water 'd. 

 The third Sort will grow to a 

 great Height in one Seafon, if it: 

 be forwarded in Hot-beds ; but is 

 with much Difficulty preferv'd the 

 Winter through : This has flowerU 

 in England, but I have not heard 

 of its producing any Seeds,
