Hiould remain until the fuccecding 

 Spring, obferving to fhelter th^m 

 in V/jncer under a Frame, or elle 

 place the Pots into the Earth under 

 a warm Wall, to prevent their 

 Roots from freezing through the 

 Pots ,• and the Beginning oi April 

 you may Ihake them out of the Pots, 

 and divide the Plants from each 

 other, planting them in the Places 

 where they are deiign'd to remain; 

 or, if you have not the GrounJ 

 ready, they may be put each into a 

 fcparate Pot, lb that they may, at 

 any Time, be turn'd out into the 

 Ground, without difturbing their 

 Roots i for they are difficult Plants 

 to remove when old. 



Thefe Plants may alfo be planted 

 to cover Arbors or Seats in warm- 

 fituated Places, where they will 

 flower extremely well, and anfwer 

 the Purpofes of thofe Arbors, as 

 well as any other Plants which are 

 at prefent made Ufe of. 



The fourth Sort is fomewhat 

 tenderer than any of the former : 

 This dies to the Surface every Win- 

 ter, and rifes again the fucceeding 

 Spring, and, if the Summer be 

 ^arm, will produce large Quanti- 

 ties of Flowers, which are near as 

 large as the common Sort, but the 

 Petals of the Flower are narrower, 

 and ftriped with Purple. This is 

 the firfl Sort of PaJJlon-tlo-pper which 

 we find defcribed in old Botanic k 

 Authors, and is what Tarkinfon has 

 figur'd and defcrib'd in his Flower- 

 Garden i but iince the other Sorts 

 have been brought into Europe, they 

 have fo much prevailed, that this 

 laft mention'd is rarely to be found, 

 except in fome few curious Gar- 

 dens. This may be increased by 

 parting their Roots, v/hich fliould 

 be done the Beginning of April, 

 and mull be either planted into 

 Pots fiU'd witl^ rich light Earth, or

m a good warm Border under a 

 South- V/all, for it is fubject to be 

 dellroy'd in very hard Winters. 

 The Pots, wherein theie Plants are 

 fet, may be plung'd into a gentle 

 Hot-bed, in order to promote their 

 taking Root, it being ibmevvhat 

 difficult in rooting after it is re- 

 mov'd; and this will promote its 

 flowering, provided you do not 

 draw it too much : And by this 

 Means alfo you may propagate the 

 Plant ; for, when it has made pretty 

 ftrong Shoots, if you lay them dowa 

 and apply a gentle Warmth to tha 

 Pots, 'they will pufli out Roots in 

 two or three Months time fit lor 

 tranfplanting, which, if done before 

 the cold Weather comes on in Au- 

 tumn, they will be fettled fo as to 

 endure the Winter. 



The Seeds of this Plant are many 

 times brought over from America, 

 fwhere the Plant grows in greac 

 Plenty) which, whenobtain'd, may 

 be fov/n in a moderate Hot-bed in 

 the Spring, and treated as was 

 before directed for the common 

 Sort, with this Difference, viz.. 

 that this being more tender, Ihould 

 not be expos'd to the open Air lb 

 foon -y and, in the Winter, the Pots 

 fliould be plung'd into an old Bed 

 of Tanners-Bark, which has loll 

 mofl of its Heat, and it fhould be 

 cover 'd with GlalTes and Mats in 

 very bad Weather, but, when it is 

 mild, they Ihould have as much 

 open Air as polTible ; you mull alfo 

 obferve not to give them much 

 Water in Winter. 



The fifth Sort dies to the Ground 

 every Year, as the laft, and riles 

 again the fucceeding Spring: This 

 is very hardy, enduring our leverell 

 Cold in the open Ground, and in- 

 creafes very faft by its fpreading 

 Roots ; but this feldom produces 

 Flowers with us, and v/hen it doth,
