daring this Seafon, it will come 

 out again in Winter as frefli and 

 lively as before i but much Moifture 

 during this State of Ina6livity, very 

 often deftroys this Plant. This for 

 the Richneis of the Colour of its 

 Flowers, vaftly exceeds all the 

 other Sorts, tho* the 2 id Sort is a 

 very beautiful Flower, and continu- 

 ing moft Part of the Summer and 

 Autumn in flower, renders it very 

 valuable ,• as is the 30th Sart, for 

 the Beauty of its variegated Leaves. 



The 3 2d and 3 jd Sorts are of 

 humbler Growth than the former, 

 tho' they are Natives of the fame 

 Country, and do theretore require 

 the lame Defence in Winter : Thefe 

 may be alfo propagated by Head^i 

 cut off from the old Plants, and 

 treated as was directed for the 

 Cuttings of the fhrubby Kinds. 

 The 3 id Sort is very fubje£t to 

 ramble, and affords fupply enough 

 ,of Cuttings i but the 33d Sort in- 

 creafes much flower : This Plant is 

 of an uncommon ftrong fweet Scent ; 

 the Leaves, when touch'd, fmelling 

 fbmewhat like Anis-feed: but the 

 Flowers of neither of thefe two 

 Sorts are very beautiful ; hov/ever, 

 they Ihould have a Place in all Col- 

 lc6tions of Plants f(^ Variety Saice. 



Thefe Plants may alfo be propa- 

 gated by fowing ot their Seeds in 

 the Spring of the Year upon a mo- 

 derate Hot-bed, and when they are 

 come up two Inches high, they 

 ihould be planted into another Bed. 

 with a little warm Dung under it 

 to promote their Rooting: In this 

 Bed they may be planted about iix 

 Inches fquarej and when they are 

 rooted, you fliould harden them by 

 Degrees, fo that as the Weather be- 

 comes warmer they may the better 

 endure the open Air: In yi^ly you 

 ihould tranfplant them into Pots, 

 as was directed before for the Cut- 



G E 



tings, and^manage them in the fame 

 manner. During the Summer- 

 feafon, thefe Plants fhould be fee 

 abroad with Myrtles, Oleanders, and 

 other Green-houfe Plants, where, 

 being arthilly intermix'd therewith, 

 they greatly add to the Variety, and 

 continue flowering moft Part of 

 the Year. 



The 34th, jyth, 36th and 37 th 

 Sorts have all knobby Roots, and 

 increafe but flowly thereby : There- 

 fore in order to have a Stock of 

 thefe Plants, you fhould carefully 

 gather their SccdiSy (which they 

 ieldom fail to produce every Year) 

 and fow them, as was diredted tor 

 the other African Sorts, upon a 

 moderate Hot-bed, managing them 

 alfo accordingly, with this Diffe- 

 rence only, viz.. that they fhould 

 have lefs Water; and the Pots in 

 which they are planted fhould be 

 fmaller, efpecially at firft, for as 

 they are Plants which make but 

 fmall Roots, fo the putting them 

 into large Pots is veryprejudical to 

 them. Thefe are all efteem'd for 

 the Beauty of their Flowers, and 

 their agreeable Sweetncfs in the 

 Evening after the Sun has left them j 

 for before that you cannot perceive 

 any Scent in them, tho' afterwards 

 it becomes fo flrong as to perfume 

 the Air to fome Dillance from the 

 Place where they Hand. This, I 

 fuppofe, may be accounted for 

 from the Warmth of the Sun rare- 

 fying thofe Effluvia, fo as to be too 

 minute to ftrika our Organs of 

 Smelling with any Force while the 

 Heat is continu'd, but when the 

 Cool of the Evening approaches, 

 thefe Effluvia are of larger Bulk, 

 and become preceptible to us in 

 Proportion thereto. 



During the Summer-feafbn, thefe 

 Plants may be expos'd, amongil 

 Other Exoticks, in the open Air,
