Thefe Plants are all propagated 

 by Seeds, which fliould be ibwn 

 upon a moderate Hot-bed in 

 March ; and when they come 

 up, they fliould be tranfplan- 

 ted into another Hot-bed, at lix 

 Inches Difiance from each other j 

 and when they have taken Root, 

 the GiaiTcs mufl be rais'd every 



J A 



Day, that the Plants may have a 

 great deal of Air, otherwife they 

 are very fubjccfl to be drawn up 

 tall and weak ; nor can they be re- 

 covered to a fu flicient Strength a- 

 gain in a Month's Time, if once 

 they arc thus drawn. When the 

 Plants are grown to be a Foot 

 high, they ihould be put into Pots 

 ftll'd with rich light Earth, v/hich 

 fhould be plung'd into a very mo- 

 derate Hot-bed, to facilitate their 

 taking Root: And in removing 

 them, you muft be very careful to 

 preferve as much Earth to their 

 Roots as you can ; for their Roots 

 have but few Fibres to retain it in 

 a Ball, as many other Plants wili 

 fio: And it ibmetimes happens, 

 when the Root is lett bare, it fel- 

 dom takes frc(h Hold of the Ground, 

 at leaft not in a confiderable Time, • 

 Ilq that the Plants will make but a 

 poor Figure that Seafon. When 

 ihey are tranfplanted into the Pots, 

 and have taken Root again, they 

 fliould be harden'd to endure the 

 open Air \ for they are not very 

 tender i but on the contrary, they 

 will not thrive well, if too much 

 drawn or forc'd in the Hot-bed. 

 In the middle of May, the Pots 

 may be remov'd into the Places 

 where they are defign'd to be con- 

 tinued for that Scaibnj oblcrving 

 to fupport the Branches with a 

 flrong Stake, and to water them 

 as often as they require it. You j 

 may alfo in May plant fon?c of : 

 them into the middle of the large 

 Borders of the Pieafure-Garden, do- 

 ing it carefully, and obferving to 

 fliadc and water them until they 

 have taken Root; after which, 

 they will require no farther Care, 

 but to fupport them from being 

 broke down by the Winds, which 

 they are very lubjedl to be, eipe- 

 ciolly when their Heads are large.
