The 1 7 th Sort is fbmewhat ten- 

 derer than any of the former, and 

 therefore requires a better Situation, 

 and a dry Soil. This Sort feldom 

 produces its Flowers fair with us, 

 it being a very late Flowerer, and 

 if the Autumn proves bad, doth 

 not produce any Flowers : This will 



frow to be lix, ieven, or eight 

 eet high, and very ftrong, but 

 ther^ is no great Beauty in its 

 Flowers, and ib is rarely preferv'd, 

 except in Botanic k Gardens. 



This Sort is propagated by part- 

 ing the Roots in the Spring, or 

 from Seeds fown on a Hot- bed at 

 that Seafbn, when they can be ob- 

 tained good, whi-ch is but rarely 

 produc'd in 'England: It is com- 

 rnonly preierv'd in Pots, and fhel- 

 ter'd in the Winter, but I find 

 it hardy enough to reiift our ordi- 

 nary Cold, if planted in a light dry 

 Soil, and an open Pofition.

The firft and fecond Species grow 

 with us to be fmall Shrubs about 

 three or four Feet high, and arc 

 fo nearly alike in all reipe<fts, io 

 far as I have been able to examine 

 them, that I could readily pro- 

 nounce them the iame, were it 

 not that they have been by £<i 

 many eminent Botaniftsdiftlngutfli'd 

 for two abfolutely different Plants i 

 which if there are two iiich, I 

 have as yet feen but one of them : 

 I have indeed receiv'd Seeds of the 

 two Sorts from different Perfbns 

 Abroad; but when chey came up, 

 they prov'd the fame, and this 

 more than once^ which caufes vac 

 to fufpedt they are not difFerent i 

 for at different Seafons of the Year 

 the fame Plant appears different as 

 to the Colour of the Leaves 5 

 which might at firfl lead a Perfoa 

 into the Miftake : and this has beca 

 followed by all that have fince wrote 

 thereof. 



This Plant is propagated by low- 

 ing the Seeds in the Spring, either 

 upon a gentle Hot-bed, or on a 

 warm Border of light frefli Earth i 

 and when the Plants are come up 

 about two Inches high, they fhould 

 be tranfplanted either into Pots, or 

 in a Bed of good rich Earth, at 

 about four or five Inches Diftance 

 every way, where they may remain 

 until they have obtain'd Strength 

 enough to plant out for good, which 

 fhould be either into Pots filled with 

 good frefh Earth, or in a warm 

 lituated Border; in which, if the 

 Winter is not too fevere, they wiii 

 abide very well, and in the Spring 

 following will produce large Qoan-
