Thefe Plants may alfo be propa- 

 gated by Seeds, which fhould be 

 £own in Pots or Tubs of light frefh 

 Earth, ibon after they are ripe: 

 Thefe Tubs fhould be plac'd where 

 they may enjoy the Morning-Sun 

 until eleven o' Clock, in which Po- 

 rtion they fhould remain until 

 Ociober\ at which Time they muft 

 be remov'd, where they may have 

 the full Sun during the Winter- 

 Seafon, and the Mcirch following 

 the young Plants will begin to ap- 

 pear } when the Boxes or Pots fhould 

 have a little fine Earth fifted over 

 the Surface of the Ground, and be 

 removed again, where they may 

 have only the Morning-Sun, ob- 

 ferving, during the Time of their 

 Growth, to refrefh them with 

 Water in dry Weather, as alfo to 

 keep them clear from Weeds. 



The Michaelmas following, if the 

 Plants are very thick in the Pots or 

 Boxes, you fhould prepare a Bed or 

 two of light frefh Earth, in Pro- 

 portion to the Quantity of your 

 young Plants, and after levelling the 

 Surf-ace very even, you fhould fpread 

 the Earth of the Pots in which 

 the Roots are contain'd as equal as 

 poffible upon the Beds, (for the 

 Roots at this Time will be too fmall 

 to be eafily taken up) covering the 

 Bed about half an Inch thick with 

 light fifted Earth j and the Spring 

 following, when the Plants begin 

 to come up, you muft flir the 

 Ground upon the Surface to loofen 

 it, and carefully clear the Beds from 

 Weeds : In thefe Beds they may 

 remain (obferving in the Autumn 

 to lift fome frefh Earth over the 

 Surface) until the fourth Year, by 

 which Time they will begin to 

 Ihew their Flowers; therefore you 

 may now oblerve to mark out a!l 

 the befl Kinds as they blow, which 

 may the fuccceding Year be tranf-

planted into the Pleafure-Garden^ 

 but the poorer Kinds fhould b« 

 thrown out as not worth preferve^ 

 ing, for the good Sorts will fbo» 

 multiply and furnifh you with a 

 fufficient Stock from Off-fets. 



The Indian Corn-flag is tender, 

 and muft be preferv'd in a warm 

 Green-houfe, or a moderate Stove 

 during the Wintcr-feafbn. Thefe 

 Roots fhould be planted in Pots 

 fill'd with a light fandy Soil. The 

 beft Time to tranfplant them is any 

 Time from May ,• at which Time 

 their green Leaves decay till Septem- 

 ber ^ that they begin to fhoot again; 

 and in O^iober the Pots fliould b« 

 removed into the Green-houfe j and 

 during their Seafbn of Growth, 

 which is chiefly in Winter, they 

 muft be frequently water'd, but 

 you muft not give it them in large 

 Quantities, but during the Summer- 

 feafbn, if they are fuffer'd to re- 

 main in the Pots, they ihould hava 

 little Moifture, but only be removed 

 to a fhady Place ; for much We» 

 at the Time their Roots areinaftivff 

 is apt to rot them. 



This Plant but rarely flowers 

 with us, but when it doth, it; 

 makes a beautiful Appearance in 

 the Green-houfe, efpecially coming; 

 in January, when few other Flow- 

 ers appear, which renders it wor- 

 thy of a Place in every curious 

 Garden.
