The I ft, id, and 3d Sorts die to 

 the Surface of the Ground every 

 Winter ; but their Roots are of 

 long Continuance, ariling again in 

 the Spring. The id and gd ufually 

 grow with us about three or four 

 Feet high, and produce great Quan- 

 tities of Flowers j but the i ft Sort 

 is of humbler Growth, ieldom 

 rifing above eighteen Inches high, 

 but in other refpedls is very like 

 the 5d. 



Thefe Plants are propagated 

 either by Seeds or parting of their 

 Roots : But the former being a 

 tedious Method, (the Plants feldom 



c L 



rifing until the fecond Year after 

 fowing, and are often two Years 

 more before they flower) the lat- 

 ter is generally pradlis'd. Thebeft 

 Seafon for parting theie Roots, is 

 either in Ocloher or Tsbrustry , either 

 juft before their Branches decay, 

 or before they rife again in the 

 Spring. 



They will grow almoft in any 

 Soil or Situation: But if the Soil 

 is very dry, they ftiould always be 

 new planted in the Autumn, other- 

 wife their Flowers will not be fb 

 ftrong: But if the Soil be wet, it 

 is better to defer it until the Spring. 

 The Roots may be cut through 

 their Crowns with a fharp Knit"e, 

 obferving to pvcferve to every Off- 

 fet fome good Buds or Eyes; and 

 then it matters not how fmall you 

 divide them, for their R.oots in" 

 creafe very faft. But if you part 

 them very fmall, you fliould let 

 them remain two Years before they 

 are again remov'd j that the fecond 

 Year their Flowers may be ftrong, 

 and the Roots multiply'd in Eyes, 

 which in one Year's Time eatinot 

 be obtain'd. 



Thefe Plants are extreme hard/j 

 enduring the Cold of our fevereft 

 Winters in the open Air ; and are 

 very proper Ornaments for large 

 Gardens, either to be planted m 

 large Borders, or intermixed with 

 other hardy Flower-Roots in Quar» 

 ters of flowering Shrubs \ where, 

 by being placed promi^vaoQilj isi 

 little open Places, they fill up tbols 

 little Vacancies, and are agTecabW 

 enough- They begin to flower 

 about the Beginning of Jayu^ and 

 often continue to produce frefb 

 Flowers until Ocicbev^ which iej> 

 dersthem valuable, cipeciallj l^acc 

 they require very little Cara Im 

 their Culture ; for their Roots may 

 be ful^er'd to remain fevered Yciurs
