 and will endure our fevereft Cold 

 in the open Borders, and may be 

 propagated by planting Cuttings in 

 any of the Summer Months.

The firft and iecood Spcu^ do 

 grow with us to be eight or tea 

 Feet high, with ftrong w«x>dy 

 Stems, and produce very beautiiixl 

 Scarlet Flowers, but never produce 

 any Seeds in the European Gardens, 

 as I can hear of. They its ay be 

 rais'd by lowing their Seeds, (which 

 are brought from America) in a 

 Hot-bed in the Spring of the Year, 

 which will very eafily come up: 

 The young Plants fnould, whan 

 they are five or fix Inches high, be 

 carefully tranfplanted into Pots of 

 light frefli Earth, and plung'''d into 

 a Hot-bed, obfcrving to Oiade them 

 from the Heat of the Si^n, until 

 they have taken freili Rootj after 

 which they fhould have Air given 

 them, by raifmg up the Glailcs in 

 the Day-time when the V/'eather is 

 warm j and in July and Augajt^ 

 they Ihould have a greater Share of 

 Air, in order to !iarden them be- 

 fore Winter ; and in Sepemkt^ 

 they fhould be removed into the 

 Stove, and during the Winter Sea» 

 fon fliould have but little Water 

 given them, for they commonly 

 call their Leaves in Wii:ter> and 

 pulh them oat trelh the ilicceedii^g 

 Spring- 



Thefe Plants may alfb be propa- 

 gated by planting Cuttings in any 

 of the Summer Months^ which 

 fliQuld be- put into Pots ftll a with 

 freih light Earth, and plung'd inro 

 a moderate Hot-bed of Taiincr^s 

 Bark, obferving toibade thcGlafles 

 in the Heat of the Day> aiid to 

 give them gentle Refreshings, with 

 Water, as the Eardi in the Pocs is 

 found to dry. In two Months lime 

 thefe Cuttings will have fu^cieat 

 Roots to tranfplant; at which tuire 

 they mull be put each into -a fiiigk 

 Pot, and plang'd a^ain into ihe Ikn- 

 R 3 bed.
