The third Sort is alfo found up- 

 on very ftony or gravelly Hills in 

 feveral Parts of England y but this 

 being an annual Plant is only pro- 

 pagated by Seeds, which fhould be 

 Ibvvn foon after they are ripe, 

 otherv^ife they will hardly grow : 

 This muft have a very poor ftony 

 Soil, in which it chiefly delights. 



The fourth Sort is alio an annual 

 Plant, which was brought from 

 the Alp : This fliould be fown in 

 the Spring of the Year, in almoft 

 any Soil, it being a very good-na- 

 tur'd Plant, and will thrive in any 

 Part of the Garden. 



The fifth Sort grows wild in 

 Virginia and Carolina j from whence 

 the Seeds have been fent over, 

 which grow very well with us, 

 and are hardy enough to relift our 

 Cold in the open Air, if planted in 

 a dry Soil.

The firft, fecond, third, and 

 fifth Sorts are Annuals, and muft 

 be fown every Year, (as is praftis'd 

 for the Sweet-Pea) : If they are 

 fown in Augujl, in a warm Border 

 they will ftand through the Winter, 

 and flower early in the lucceeding 

 Spring, by which Method you 

 maybe fure to obtain good Seeds j 

 whereas thofe which are fown in 

 the Spring, are many times de- 

 ftroy'd by the Rains in Autumn 

 before their Seeds are perfected. 

 Theie Plants delight in a dry Soil 

 and an open Situation, for if they 

 are over-hung by Trees, (^-c. they 

 feldom come to any Perfection. 



Thofe of thefe Plants which 

 were fown in Autumn, will begin 

 to flower in May, and cojitinue to 

 produce new Flowers till July ; 

 about which time the Seeds of 

 their early Flowers will be perfect- 

 ed. Their Flowers are in Shape 

 like thofe of the Pea, but being of 

 variable Colours, do make a pretty 

 Variety in a Garden ; and if the 

 Plants are fupported with Sticks, 

 they may be kept in a fmall Com- 

 pafs. The fourth Sort hath a pe- 

 rennial Root, which multiplies 

 very faft, foon over-running a Spot 

 of Ground, and fhould therefore be 

 kept in a Pot where the Roots will 

 be confin'd, and thereby the Plant 

 caus'd to produce a greater Quan- 

 tity of Flowers than it would na- 

 turally do if its Roots had hill Ia\ 

 berty ,
