The various Kinds of thefe Plants 

 are very 2;reat Ornaments to a 

 Garden j th-ir Flowers are pro- 

 duc'd in great Plenty all over the 

 Shrubs, which tho' but of a fliort 

 Duration, yet are fucceeded by 

 frefh ones almoft every Day for 

 above two Months liicceilively. 

 Thefe Flowers are many of them 

 about the Bignefs of a middling 

 Rofe, but lingle, and of different 

 Colours J the Plants continue green 

 throughout the Year. 



The fix firfl mentioned and the 

 ninth Sort will endure the Cold of 

 our common Winters in the open 

 Ground, provided they are planted 

 in a dry Soil, and in a Situation 

 where they may be fhelter'd 

 from the cold Winds, and will rife 

 to the Height of five or fix Feet, 

 and may be ealily train'd to form 

 handlbme Heads. Thefe being in- 

 termix'd with flowering Shrubs of 

 the fame Growth, in fmall Wildcr- 

 nefs Quarters, ic^c. add greatly to 

 the Variety, and their Flowers qqw

tinuing to fhew themfelves tliro' 

 the greateft Part of the Summer, 

 renders them worthy of a Place in 

 the beft Gardens. The other Sorts 

 are commonly preftrv'd in Pots, 

 and hous'd in Winter, tho', I be- 

 lieve, mofl of them might be 

 brought to ftand abroad in Places 

 that are well defended from the 

 Cold. 



Thefe Sorts may all be propa- 

 gated, by fbwing their Seeds upon 

 a gentle Hot-bed, or on a warm 

 Border in the common Ground in 

 March; and wl^n the Plants are 

 come up about three Inches high, 

 they fhould be tranfplanted either 

 into fmall Pots, or a Border of 

 good light Earth, at about ten 

 Inches Diflance every Way : If 

 they are planted into Pots, they 

 fhould be removed under a com- 

 mon Hot- bed Frame in Winter, to 

 defend them from the Frofl, which 

 may be hurtful to them while 

 young, if they are not protedled 

 from itj but they fhould have as 

 much open free Air as pofTible in 

 mild Weather, and will require to 

 be often refrefli'd with Water. 



In the Spring following, thefe 

 Plants may be turned out of the 

 Pots, with all the Earth preferv'd 

 to their Roots, and planted in the 

 Places where they are to remain^ 

 (for they are bad Plants to remove 

 when grown old) obferving to give 

 them now and then a little Water, 

 until they have taken frefli Roots i 

 after which Time they will require 

 no farther Care than to train them 

 upright in the manner you would 

 have them grow : But thofe Plants 

 which were at firf> planted into a 

 Border in the open Ground, fhould 

 be arched over, and covered with 

 Mats in frofly Weather, during the 

 firfl Wmtcr, but may b" tranipla«t» 

 ed abroad the {ucceeding Spring.'
