There are feveral other Varieties 

 of this Plant, which differ either 

 in the Colour or Size of their 

 Flowers: But as moft ot them are 

 accidental, and arife from Seeds ot 

 the fame Plant, fo I fhall pafs over 

 them, without enumerating all 

 their minute Differences. 



The %ft Species here mention'd, 



D E 



is a Native of the Alps, and is rey 

 markably different from the othes 

 Kinds of Larkfpur, in being ara 

 abiding Plant: This is propagated 

 by fowing the Seeds in an opeo 

 light Soil in March i and when the 

 Plants are come up, they may be 

 tranfplanted into Ihady Borders, at 

 a Foot diilance from each other, 

 where they may ftand until the 

 fecond Yearj by which Time they 

 will have Strength to produce 

 Flowers, and may then be trans- 

 planted into Borders in the Pleafure- 

 Garden, amongft other Flowering 

 Plants, where they will make a 

 handlbme Appearance when irx 

 Flower. 



The iecond Sort is not near {x> 

 beautiful as the firft, but is pre- 

 ferv'd in curious Gardens of Plants, 

 for its Variety. The Flowers of 

 this Kind are very imallj and it is 

 commonly fo late in the Seafon 

 before they are produc'd^ that they 

 feldom perfect their Seeds with us, 

 unlefs the Plants come up in Au- 

 tumn, and abide the Wi?iter. The 

 Seeds of this Plant I receiv'd from 

 my Honour'd Friend Mr. Henr^ 

 Hophey, v/ho gathered it on Gibraltar 

 Hills, where it grows wild. 



The third Sort is the Stavefacre, 

 the Seeds of which are ufed in 

 Medicine: This is a large handlbme 

 Plant, and produces fair large 

 Flowers : The Seeds of this fhouid 

 be fown in a light fandy Soil, und 

 a warm Situation, foon after it is 

 ripe; for if it be kept until Spring, 

 it very often mifcarries. The Ie- 

 cond Year after fowing, it flowers, 

 and foon after perfects its Seed, and 

 dies. This Plant is at prefent very 

 uncommon in England, and only 

 to be tound in fome curious Gar- 

 dens of Plants.

cultivated io Gardens, Ibr the
