There axe fbme other Varieties 

 of this Plant, which are preferv'd 

 in curious Botanick Gardens j but 

 it is rare that any of them are 

 propagated, except for Variety-lake,

 fowing their Seeds in March upon 

 a dry Soil* in the Places where

 not well bear tranfplanting. The 

 Diftance they Ihould be allow'd, 

 ought to be at leaH; a Foot from
