The four firft Sorts are very 

 hardy, and will endure in the open 

 Airi thefe may be propagated by 

 parting of their Roots either in 

 Spring or AMtumriy and will grow 

 in almoft any Soil or Situation, 

 but are too large and rambling for 

 a fmall Flower-Garden, and are 

 feldom preferved except in Bota- 

 nic k Gardens for Variety. 



The other four Sorts are beau- 

 tiful Flowering Plants, and well 

 worth propagating in every good 

 Garden ; Thefe are increas'd by 

 planting Cuttings of any of the 

 Kinds during the Summer Months, 

 in a Bed of light, rich Earth, ob- 

 ferving to water and fhade them 

 until they have taken Root : Then 

 you muft carefully tranfplant them 

 into Pots fill'd with the like rich 

 light Earth, fetting them in the 

 Shade until they have taken Root ; 

 after which, they may be cxpos'd 

 with Geranium' Si 8cc. until O^ober, 

 when they muft be remov'd into 

 the Green- houfe, where they fhould 

 be plac'd as near the Glaffes as poi- 

 fible, that they may have free Air 

 whenever the Weather will permit,' 

 and muft have frequent Refrefliings 

 with Water. Thefe Plants produce 

 their Flowers towards the latter 

 end of Summer, and continue moft 

 part of the Autumn in Beauty, but 

 ieldom produce good Seeds with us.

little branched : The blowers (which 

 groiv on the Tops of the Stalks) are 

 radiated like the greater Starwort : 

 The Half-Florets in the Disk of the 

 Flower are trifid : The Cup of the 

 Flower is expanded, and cut into ma- 

 ny Farts almojl to the Bottom, and 

 is not fcaly, but each fmgle Segment 

 is in the Form of a DiJJj.

The hrft of thefe Plants is fome- 

 times us'd in Medicine with us, as 

 is the third Sort in Germany : 

 Thefe are all Plants of no great 

 Beauty ; but as they will thrive in 

 almoll any Soil or Situation, fo 

 they may be allow'd a Place in a 

 (hady Border, tor Variety-fake. 

 They all increafe abundantly by 

 their fpreading Roots, which may 

 be parted cither in Spring or Au- 

 tumn J as alfo by Seeds, which 

 fliould be fown foon after they are 

 ripe. They produce their Flowers 

 for fever al Months in the Summer , 

 as in May, June, July and Augufi^ 

 and their Seeds ripen loon after.

It hath papilionaceous Flowers^ 

 which are fucceeded by fjjort Pods, in 

 each of which is contained one ftngle 

 Seed : To which may be added, the 

 Leaves are fmgle, and divided to the 

 Bottom into five Segments.

 Plant in England, which is,
