The firll Sort is very common 

 in mod Englijh Gardens, being 

 much cultivated for the SweetneS 

 of its Flowers. The fecond and 

 third Sorts are accidental Varieties 

 from the firft, and may be obtained 

 by inoculating the Buds of thefc 

 into the common Jafmine; which, 

 although the Buds fhould pcriih, 

 (as it often happens) yet it feldom 

 fails to ftain both the Leaves and 

 Branches of the old Plant into 

 which the Buds were put : So that 

 by inoculating fome of thefe Buds 

 into fome young Branches in divers 

 Parts ot an old Tree, they will not 

 fail to tinge the whole Tree in a 

 fhort Time. 



The common white Jafmine is 

 eafily propagated by laying down 

 the tender Branches in the Spring, 

 which, by the fucceed ing Spring, 

 will be rooted ftrong enough to be 

 tranfplanted. They may alfo be 

 propagated by Cuttings, which 

 fhould be planted in March, in a 

 moift Border, where they may have 

 the Morning Sun ; But they mufl 

 be skreen'd from the Violence of 

 the Sun in the Heat of the Day, 

 and frequently water'd in dry Wea- 

 ther. The Cuttings thus managed, 

 will many ot them live, and have 

 Roots fit to be remov'd in the fol- 

 igwing
