c o 



duclng great Quantities of fine large 

 Bell-fhap'd Flowers, and will con- 

 tinue flowering until the Froft pre- 

 vent them. 



Thefe may all be rais'd in the 

 open Ground, except the ninth, 

 which if it is not brought forward 

 in the Spring by a Hot-bed, feldom 

 produces ripe Seeds j the reft are 

 very hardy, and may be fown to 

 cover Seats, Arbours, Paliiado's, 

 O'C. which they will do in a fhort 

 Time, and continue very handibme 

 until the Froft deftroys them : The 

 ieveral Varieties, when intermixed, 

 make a beautiful Appearance, but 

 the ninth Sort is by far the moft 

 beautiful of them all. 



The tenth Sort is an abiding 

 Plant, and requires a Green-houle 

 in Winter : This will grow to a 

 coniiderable Height, and muft be 

 fupported by ftrong Stakes : It 

 flowers almoft every Year with us, 

 but feldom produces good Seeds in 

 JEingUnd. This may be propagated 

 by laying down the tender Branches 

 in the Spring, which by Autumn 

 will have fufficient Roots to be 

 taken off. Thefe muft be planted 

 in Pots fill'"d with frefli light Earth, 

 and Ihelter'd from Frofts in Win- 

 ter, but muft have as much free 

 Air as poflible in mild Weather, 

 and require frequent Waterings. 



The eleventh Sort is very comr 

 mon in the hotter Parts of Ante- 

 ricay where it is known by the 

 Name of Spaniflj Arbor Vine : It is 

 by the Inhabitants planted to cover 

 Arbors and Seats, for which Pur- 

 pole it is very proper ^ for in thofe 

 Countries one of thefe Plants will 

 grow to the Length of fixty or a 

 hundred Feet, and produce great 

 Quantities of Side-branches, by 

 which iVIeans, in a very ftiort Time, 

 it will cover a large Seat: This 

 Flant produces in America great 



c o 



Quantities of large fragrant yellow 

 Flowers, which are each of them 

 fucceeded by three large angular 

 Sctds, It is a very tender Plant 

 with us, and can't be preferv'd but 

 in warm Stoves through the Win- 

 ter, nor hath it as yet produc'd any 

 Flowers in EtigUnd that I know 

 of : It riles ealily from the Seeds, 

 if they are fown in a Hot-bed, and 

 will grow to a great Length in one 

 Summer j and altho' I have fome- 

 times preferv'd it for two Years, 

 and the Plant has fpread to a great 

 Length, yet I could never perceive 

 any Attempt to flower. 



The twelfth Sort is an annual 

 Plant, and muft be rais'd and raa- 

 nag'd, as was diredled for the fifth, 

 fixth, ^c. This produces fmall 

 Scarlet Flowers with a long Tube j 

 which occalion'd Monf Tournefort 

 to range it amongft the ^uamo- 

 cltts. This Plant is in greatPlenty 

 in Carolina. 



The thirteenth and fourteenth 

 Sorts are alfo Annual,- but thefe do 

 not climb as the others: The Seeds 

 of thefe Plants may be fown in 

 open Borders in March, where they 

 will come up very well, and may 

 be afterwards tranfpl anted to a 

 greater Diftance, to adorn the Bor- 

 ders of a Pleafure-Garden. Thefe 

 Plants trail upon the Ground, if 

 they are not fupported, and do pro- 

 duce their beautiful Flowers thro' 

 moft of the Summer Months. 



The fifi:eenth Sort is an abiding 

 Plant, which with us doth grow 

 upright to be three or four Feet 

 highj the Branches are fet very 

 thick, with long narrow Silver- 

 colour'd Leaves, and the Flowers 

 grow upon the Tops of the Branches 

 in an Umbel. Thefe Flowers are 

 fometimes fucceeded by angular 

 Seeds like the other Kinds: It may 

 be propagated by planting Cuttings
