t'ney will overfpread the Ground 

 where they are planted. 



Thefe Plants produce fmall 

 Banches ot ibft dry Flowers, which 

 if gather 'd when they are in Beau- 

 ty, and preferv'd in a dry Place, 

 will continue trefh and fair for 

 fome Years, for which Reafon they 

 deferve a Place in every good Gar- 

 den, to increafe the Varieties of 

 thefe Flowers, which will afford 

 Pleafure at a Seafon when the 

 Ground is fo lock'd up, that none 

 of the flowery Tribe abroad ap- 

 pears above Ground. Thefe Plants 

 will grow in a fhady dry place in 

 any remote Part ot a Garden, and 

 sre by fome planted for Edgings to 

 North Borders. , 



The fourth Sort is a great Ram- 

 bler in a Garden, and fhould there- 

 fore be either confin'd to Pots, or 

 planted in fon^e abjeft Part of the 

 Garden, in a Place by it felf, for 

 i? it ftand near any other Plants or 

 Flowers, it will be apt to over-run 

 and dcftroy them ; for the Roots 

 creep far under Ground, and will 

 arife at a great Diflancc from the 

 old Plant : But however as the 

 Flowers as very beautiful amongft 

 others of the perpetual Kind, they 

 fhould not be wanting in a good 

 Garden. This though ftil'd an A- 

 merican Plant, yet is thought to be 

 a Native of fome of the warm 

 European Countries. It delights in 

 a dry warm Soil, and increafes 

 plentifully by the Off-fets, 



The fifth and fixrh Sorts are 

 Plants of no great Beauty: They 

 are preferv'd in Botanic k Gardens 

 for Variety fake, but are feldom 

 cultivated in Gardens for Pieafure. 

 They may be propagated either by 

 fowing their Seeds in the Spring 

 on a moderate Hot-bed, or by 

 planting Cuttings or Slips in any 

 -of the Summer Months : But theie

Plants producing Seeds in plenty, 

 it is the common Method to in- 

 creafe or maintain them by Seeds. 

 Thefe mufl: be planted in Pots fill'd 

 with light fandy Earth, and muft 

 be fhelter'd in Winter, giving them 

 as much free open Air as poflible 

 in mild Weather, and often refrefh- 

 ing them with Water: With this 

 Management they may be train'd 

 up to the Height of three or four 

 Feet, and will grow fhrubby i but 

 if fuffer'd to remain abroad, they 

 will not furvive the Winter. 



The feventh Sort is an Annual, 

 and is a Plant of very little Beauty, 

 and is only preferv'd for Variety, 

 and will require no farther Care 

 than to fuffer the Seeds to fall up- 

 on the Ground, which will arile, 

 and afford an abundant Supply of 

 Plants. 



The eighth Sort is* an abiding 

 Plant, which deferves a Place in 

 the moil curious Gardens for the 

 Beauty of its Flowers. This is 

 propagated by planting Cuttings in 

 any of the Summer Months, which 

 fliould be put into Pots fill'd with 

 a light fandy Soil, and plung'd into 

 a moderate Hot-bed, to facilitate 

 their Rooting; after which they 

 may be expos'd to the open Air, 

 and fome of them may be planted 

 into a warm dry Border, where 

 they will endure the Cold of our 

 ordinary Winters without any Shel- 

 ter ^ but 'tis advifeable always to 

 preferve fome in Pots under Co- 

 ver in Winter, left thofe abroad 

 Hiould be deftroy'd, as it fome- 

 times happens in very fevere 

 Frofts. 



This Plant producing Flowers 

 which are of a fine foft red Co- 

 lour, are a very great Ornament in 

 Winter, v/hen intermix'd with the 

 feveral Varieties of Eternal Flowers, 

 in Glalfcs or Bafons fill'd with dry
