 Variety. 



The lixth Sort h an annual Plant 

 with us, end require^ to be rais'd 

 upon a Hot-bed: The Seeds of this 

 fhould be fow'd in Fel>rui^.ry with 

 Amifranthus's, 8cc. And when the 

 Plants are come up, they fliould be 

 tranfplanted fmgly into fniill Pots 

 fill'd with light Earth, and plung'd 

 into a frefh Hot-bed, to bring them 

 forward j and, in a Month's time 

 after (when the Bed will begin to 

 lofe its Heat) you fliould prepare a 

 frefh Hot-bed j then fnake the Plants 

 out of the fmall Pots, and put them 

 into larger, obferving to take off 

 the Roots of the Plant which arj 

 matted round the Outfidc of the 

 Ball of Earth, being careful not to 

 break too much of the Earth from 

 the Roots: And, after having plac'd 

 the Plant exadly in the Middle ot 

 the larger Pot, you mull fill the 

 Pot with the like fiefh light Earth, 

 plunging the Pots into the new P>ed 5 

 m which Place they may remain a 

 Month longer, obfeiving to water 

 them as they fhall require, as alfo to 

 give them Air in Proportion to the 

 Heat of the Weather : And when 

 their Roots have fill'd thefe Pots, 

 they fhould be fhaken out, and tranf- 

 planted into larger, giving them a 

 little Warmth to caufe them to 

 take frelh Root the fooner j and 

 after they are well rooted, you may 

 remove them into the Stove, where 

 they may be protected from the 

 Cold of the Nights and great Rains 5 

 in which Situation they will pro- 

 duce great Numbers of Flowers, 

 and ripen their Seed perfe6lly well. 

 In Autumn they commonly decay ; 

 tho* I doubt not but they would 

 continue longer, if they were plac'd 

 in a good Stove, and preferv'd with 

 Care.

The fcventh Sort is fomewhat 

 like the fixth, but differs therefrom 

 in the Shape of its Leaves, which, 

 in the fixth Sort, are long and narr 

 row, but, in the feventh, broad and 

 angular, approaching to the Shape 

 of the white Briony, and are rougher 

 and of a ftronger Scent : The 

 Flowers alfb of this are ftrip'd in 

 the Middle with purple, whereas 

 the others are all white i nor doth 

 this Piant often produce its Flowers 

 the firft Year with us, but muft be 

 preferv'd in a warm Stove through 

 the Winter, and the following Sum- 

 mer it will produce Flowers, and 

 pcrfedl its Seeds. 



This Plant muft be fown on a 

 Hot-bed in the Spring, and manag'd 

 as was directed for the lafr, with 

 this Difference only, viz. Thar, as 

 this feldom flowers the firif Sum- 

 mer, fo thofe Plants wh'ch you in- 

 tend to prcfcrve through the Win- 

 ter, fhould be train'd up to endure 

 the open Air in the Summer, where- 

 by they will be better able to live 

 in Winter. 



This is found in great Plenty in 

 many Places in the Wefi-Inclies,vj\\cxQ 

 the Inhabitants call it Love in a, 

 Miji. The Seeds are frequently 

 brought into England by that Name. 

 ^ere Plumier fays. That he found 

 it in great Plenty in the Hedges, 

 in the Ifland of Martinico, where 

 he obierv'd the Flowers conftantly 

 open'd before the Rifmg of the Sun, 

 after which it feldom continued an 

 Hour. He alfo fays, that it con- 

 tinues flowering almofl throughout 

 the whole Year ; but that the Birds, 

 Lizards and Ants are fo fond of this 

 Fruit, that it is very difficult to find 

 them entire when ripe. 



The eighth Sort is a durable Plant, 

 growing woody, and is more ar- 

 borefcent than any other Species of 

 this Plant which I Jiave yet /een.
