becaufe at that Time we have few 

 other Plants which produce Flow- 

 ers j and although thele Flowers 

 are not very beautiful, yet at that 

 S.ealbn every Thing which appears 

 like a Flower is acceptable, as put- 

 ting us in Hopes of a fucceeding 

 Spring, when almoft every Thing 

 without Doors is depriv'd of its 

 former Verdure and Beauty. 



CHRYSANTHEMUiM j Corn

The Characters are ; 



It hath, for the mojl fart, an 

 annual Root: The Cup of the Tloroer

 the Seeds are furrowd.

There are feveral other Varieties 

 of this Plant ; but as they are of 

 lefs Note than thefe mentioned, and 

 only preferv'd in curious Botanick 

 Gardens for their Variety, fo I 

 fhall omit mentioning them in this 

 Place. 



Thele Plants are all propagated 

 by fowing their Seeds in the Spring

upon a gentle Hot-bed, in order t© 

 have them early, otherwife they 

 will come up as well if ibwn in 

 the open Ground : When the Plants 

 are come up, they fhould be trans- 

 planted into Nurfery-beds, at about 

 ten Inches afundcr every way, 

 where they may remain until they 

 fhew their Flowers ; at which 

 Time you may tranfplant all thofc 

 which have double Flowers, either 

 into Pots or Borders, to adorn the 

 Pleafure-Garden or Court - Yard. 

 The fingle ones may be pull'd up 

 firft, and caft away as good for no- 

 thing, which will make Room for 

 the better taking up the double 

 ones, with a large Ball of Earth to 

 their Roots, otherwife they will 

 not bear removing when fb far 

 advanc'd. If thefe Plants are fee 

 in the full Ground, they will grow- 

 very large, therefore they Ihould 

 be planted only in very large Bor- 

 ders, and not too near other Flow- 

 ers, lefl by their over-bearing them 

 they fhould be deftroy'd : But they 

 are much handfomer when con- 

 fin'd in Pots, provided they arc 

 conftantly water'd ; for by thi^ 

 Means their Roots are kept within 

 Compafs, and the Plants feldora 

 grow fo large, but produce a grearer 

 Quantity of Flowers. 



In faving the Seeds of thefe 

 Plants, you fliould always make 

 choice of the very double Flowers, 

 which will certainly produce a 

 much greater Quantity of double 

 Flowers the next Year, than would 

 the Seeds of fingle or half double 

 Flowers ; tho' if the Seeds are 

 taken from the very bell Flowers, 

 they will degenerate, and bring 

 fome fingle Flowers am ongfi: them : 

 Therefore, to avoid this Diiappoint- 

 ment, the better Method is, when 

 you have gotten fbme fine double 

 Kinds of thefe Plants of both Co- 

 lours,
