lowing Spring : But this Method is 

 ieldom pradtis'd, the Layers always 

 making the befl Plants. 



When thefe Plants are rcraov'd, 

 tliey Ihould be planted where they 

 are defign'd to be continued, which 

 fhould be either againft fome Wall, 

 Pale, or other Fence where the 

 flexible Branches may be fupportcd : 

 For altho' it is fometimes planted 

 as a Standard, and form'd into a 

 Head, yet it will be very difficult 

 to keep it in any handfome Order ; 

 or if you do, you muii cut off all 

 the flowering Branches : For the 

 Flowers are always produc'd at the 

 Extremity of the fame Year's Shoots, 

 which, if fhortned before the Flow- 

 ers are blown, will intirely deprive 

 the Trees of Flowers. Thefe Plants 

 fhould be permitted to grow rude 

 in the Summer, for the Reafon 

 before given : Nor fhould you 

 prune and nail them until the Mid- 

 dle or Latter-end of March, when 

 the frofty Weather is paft; for if 

 it (hould prove Hiarp frofty Weather 

 .after their rude Branches are prun'd 

 off, and the ftrong ones are expos'd 

 thereto, they are v-ery often de- 

 liroy'd ; and this Plant being very 

 backward in Shooting, there will 

 be no Danger of hurting them 

 by late Pruning. 



The two Strip'd Sorts fhould be 

 planted in a warm Situation, espe- 

 cially the White Strip'd, for they 

 are much more tender than the 

 Plain, and very fubjea to be de- 

 ilroy'd by great Frofts, if they are 

 expos'd thereto j therefore it will 

 be proper to preferve a Plant of 

 each Kind in Pots, which may be 

 remov'd into the Green-houfe in 

 Winter, left by expofing 'em to the 

 Cold, they fhould all be deftroy'd, 

 and fb you lofe the Sorts. 



The common Yellow jA[mine 

 was formerly in greater Plenty in 



'England than at prefent, and was 

 planted againft Arbours, ^c. to co- 

 ver them, tho' it is not near {o 

 proper for that Purpofe as the 

 White Sort, it being of much flower 

 Growth, nor v/ill it ever extend its 

 Branches To far as that j but how- 

 ever, it may have a Place among 

 the Flowering Shrubs of low 

 Growth, where it may be with 

 more Eafe reduced to a Standard 

 than the other. This Plant flowers 

 in May and Jtme j but they have 

 very little Scent, which has occa- 

 lion'd its being Icfs regarded. It 

 may be propagated by Suckers, 

 which it generally produces in 

 great Numbers i or by Layers, as 

 was directed for the common Sort, 

 and are full as hardy. 



The Dwarf Yellow Jafmine is 

 fomewhat tenderer than the for- 

 mer ; yet it will endure the Cold 

 of our ordinary Winters, if it be 

 planted in a warm Situation. The 

 Flowers of this Kind are generally 

 larger than thofe of the common 

 Sort, and better fcented, but are 

 feldom produc'd fb early in the 

 Seafbn. It may be propagated by 

 laying down the tender Branches, 

 as was directed for the common 

 White Sort ; or by Budding or 

 Inarching it upon the common 

 Yellow Jafm'me ; the latter of 

 which is preferable, as making the 

 Plants hardier than thofe which are 

 obtain'd from Layers: They ftioald 

 be planted againft a warm Wall; 

 and in very fevcre Winters wiU re- 

 quire to be fhelterM with Mats, or 

 Ibrae other Covering, otherwife 

 they are fubjed to be deftroy'd. 

 The manner of- Dreffing and 

 Pruning being the fame as was 

 direded for the White Jafmine:, 

 I iliall not repeat it.
