 tire commonly equal, being neither 

 ferrated nor indented: The Florets 

 round the Border of the Head are 

 barren , but thofe placed in the Cen-

 having a Down adhering to it.

There are great Varieties of thefe 

 Plants, which are preferv'd in cu- 

 rious Botanic k Gardens for Varie- 

 ty; But there being very few of 

 them cultivated for Ufe or Beauty, 

 I fhall not trouble myfelf or the 

 Reader with an Enumeration of 

 their feveral Names here j thofe a- 

 bove-mention'd being the handfo- 

 meft, and beft worth cultivating. 



They are all propagated by Seeds, 

 which (hould be fown in March 

 upon a Bed of light rich Earth j 

 and when they are come up, they 

 may be tranfplanted into a Nuric- 

 ry-Bed in fome obfcure Part of 

 the Garden, at about ten Inches or 

 a Foot afunder, where they may 

 ^continue until the Michaelmas fol- 

 lowing, at which Time they may 

 be tranfplanted into the middle of 



JA 



large Borders in the Parterre Gar- 

 den, where they may remain to 

 flower: But the fifth Sort being 

 tender, fhould be planted into Pots, 

 and (belter 'd from great Frofts in 

 Winter, which if they are expos'd 

 to, will deftroy them. The fixth 

 Sort is an annual Plant, which 

 fhould be planted out in May^ 

 where it is delign'd to remain, 

 and in June it will flower, and 

 the Seeds will ripen in Augujl. 

 The fir ft Sort is a Native of Eng- 

 land, and is very common in Pa- 

 fture Lands, efpecially upon the 

 Sides of Banks, or Foot Paths: 

 This is feldom cultivated in Gar- 

 dens. 



Thefe Plants may deferve a Place 

 in large Gardens, for Variety 5 but 

 they are not proper for fmall Gar- 

 dens, their Branches taking up too 

 much Room : And their Flowers 

 having no great Beauty to recom- 

 mend them, it is hardly worth ex- 

 cluding better Plants to make 

 Room for them.
