Temov'd to the Places where they 

 are deiign'd to remain 5 which 

 fhould be done in the Spring, ob- 

 ferving to lay a little Mulch upon 

 the Surface of the Ground round 

 their Roots, and to water them 

 gently in dry Weather : In two 

 Years after planting they will make 

 very ftrong Shoots, which fhould 

 be train'd tip to Stakes, that they 

 may not trail upon the Ground, 

 which would fpoil their flower- 

 ing, and render them very unlight- 

 ly. From this Time they will re- 

 quire no farther Care, than to cut 

 out every other Year the decay'd 

 Branches ; and in the Spring, to 

 fliorten fuch Branches as may have 

 grown too long and rambling for 

 the Places where they are planted. 



Thefe alfo may be rais'd from 

 Seeds, which fhould be fown either 

 £0 loon as ripe, or very early in the 

 Spring, in a Bed of frelh light 

 Earth, or in Pots or Boxes fiU'd 

 with fbme Earth, becaufe the Seeds 

 of moft of thefe Plants remain in 

 the Ground until the fecond Spring 

 before they appear, efpecially it 

 they were not fbwn in Autumn. 

 When the Plants come up, they 

 muft: be caretully clean'd from 

 Weeds j and in very dry Weather 

 frequently water'd i and in the fuc- 

 ceeding Spring they fhould be tranf- 

 planted out into Nurfery-beds, 

 where they may remain two Years 

 longer ,• by which Time they will 

 have arriv'd at Strength to flower, 

 and may then be remov'd to the 

 feveral Places where they are to 

 remain.

The firft Sort grows wild upou 

 dry chalky Hills in divers Parts of 

 England. The fecond is a Variety 

 of the firft, from which it only 

 differs in the Colour of the Flower. 

 Thefe Sorts do abide many Yearr, 

 and may be propagated in a Gar- 

 den, by either fowing their Seeds 

 or parting of their Roots -, the iat- 

 ter of which is the moft expediti- 

 ous Method, as alfo the fureft Way 

 to. preferve the white- flowering 

 Kind in its Colour, becauie it may 

 return back to the purple Kind 

 from which it at firft degenerated. 

 Thefe Plants fliould have a light 

 Soil, and an open Situation, in 

 which they will thrive exceed- 

 ingly.
