the Flowers of this Plant be ga- 

 ther 'd when blown, for it greatly 

 weakens their Roots i fo that they 

 do not aflFord an Increafe of Bulbs, 

 and many times are two or three 

 Years betbre they flower again. 



Thefe Roots Ihould be trans- 

 planted every third Year, by which 

 Time they will have furnifh'd fome 

 OfF-fets of conliderable Strength, 

 ■which muft be taken from the 

 ©Id Roots i and fiich of them as 

 are large enough to produce Flow- 

 ers, may be planted in Borders 

 with the old Roots, but the fmall 

 ones fhouid be planted in a Nur- 

 fery-bed, where they may remain 

 tiii they have Strength enough to 

 fiower y but if you remove the 

 blowing Roots oftener, they will 

 not flower fo ftrong, nor will their 

 locreafe be near fo great.
