m a warm Border 5 and when the 

 Plants are come up about four 

 Inches high, they Ihould be trani- 

 planted into Pots fiU'd with light 

 frelh Earth, and during the firft 

 Winter fliould be llielter'd under a 

 common Hot-bed Frame; and the 

 Spring following they may be 

 taken out of the Pots and planted 

 into a warm Border, where they 

 will thrive and flower the fecond 

 Year from Seed. 



The fourth Sort is tenderer than 

 any of the former, and iliould be 

 fown on a Hot-bed, and afterwards 

 tranfplanted into Pots, and ma- 

 nag'd as was direded for the third 

 Sort, and in the Spring put into 

 warm Borders under a good Wall, 

 where it will flower and feed the 

 iecond Year, and if the Winters 

 prove mild, will remain for two 

 or three Years, producing great 

 Qaamities of beautiful Scarlet Flow- 

 ers j but if the Winter proves hard, 

 or the Soil is moift wherein it is 

 planted, it feldom (lands through 

 a Winter abroad. This Plant is by 

 moft People prefer v'd in Green- 

 houfes with Oranges, Myrtles, Sec. 

 But in this Management they are 

 fubje^t to grow very weak, for 

 Want of more free open Air than 

 can be given with Safety to the 

 other Trees, therefore the beft 

 Method is, to preferve them, du- 

 ring the Winter, in an open Frame,' 

 where the GlaiTes may be kept off 

 in mild Weather, and put or. in 

 firofty cold Nights, by which har- 

 dy Management the Plants will 

 produce a greater Quantity of 

 Flowers than when they are drawn 

 in a Houfe. 



The fifth Sort is an annual Plant, 

 feldom rifmg above two Feet high 

 with us, and is but of very little 

 Beauty : This is preferv'd in curi- 

 ous Gardeus of Plants. The Ma- 



c o 



nagement of it being much tfie 

 fame as the Balfamina, I fhall re-
