The firft, fecond, and third Sorts 

 grow to be large Trees, and are 

 therefore proper for large Quarters 

 of Flowering Trees, efpeciaily the 

 firft, which will grow to be 

 eighteen or twenty Feet high.: 

 Their Seafon of Flowering is in 

 May, at which time they afford a 

 very agreeable Profpedf, efpeciaily 

 that Sort with long pendulous 

 Flowers, which is by far the moft 

 beautiful Kind. 



Thefe are all propagated by {ow- 

 ing their Seeds (which they afford 

 in Plenty) in March on a Bed of 

 good frefh light Earth, fifting a 

 little Mould over them about half 

 an Inch thick, and in about a 

 Month's time the Plants will come 



c Y 



up J you mufl: therefore keep them 

 clear from Weeds, and if the Sea- 

 fon fhould prove dry, you mull: 

 often refrefh them with Water, 

 which Will greatly promote their 

 Growth : In this Bed they may 

 remain until March following, when 

 you may tranfplant them into a 

 Nurfery, in Rows three Feet Dif- 

 tance, and one Foot afunder in the 

 Rows, being careful not to break 

 the Roots, which are very tender, 

 as alio to water and mulch their 

 Roots, to prevent the Sun and 

 Wind from drying their Fibres: 

 This Nurfery muft alfo be kept 

 very clear from Weeds, and every 

 Spring the Ground between the 

 Rows fhould be dug, to loofen the 

 Ejrth and deftroy the Weeds. In 

 this Nurfery they may remain 

 two or three Years, according to 

 the Progrefs they make, or the 

 Ground where they are to be 

 planted is ready ; but, however, 

 if they fland longer than three 

 Years, every other Tree fliould be 

 remov'd, or elfe they fnould at firft 

 be planted at a much greater DiA 

 tance, for otherwife their Roots 

 will intermix, and render it diffi- 

 cult to remove them fafely. The 

 Seafon for tranfplant ing thefe Trees, 

 is either in October or 'February^ 

 obferving to mulch and water 

 them as before. 



The fourth Sort is at prefent 

 very rare in 'England, being only 

 to be feen in fome curious Bota- 

 nick Gardens. This makes a Shrub 

 of three or four Feet high, and 

 may be propagated as the former. 



The fifth feidom rifes with us 

 to be above five or fix Feet high, 

 and may be kept to a regular 

 Head : This fhould therefore be 

 planted in fmaller Quarters, with 

 Shrubs of the fame Growth. It 

 fiowers in JuMj at which time it
