fill'd with light Earth, and managed 

 as was before direfted tor the Seed- 

 ling Plants. 



The Azorian Jafm'me is alfo pretty 

 hardy, and requires no more Shelter 

 than only from hard Frolhj and I 

 am apt to think, if this Soit was 

 planted againft a warm Wall, and 

 managed as hath been diredled for 

 the Yellow Indfan Jafmine, it would 

 facceed very welU for 1 remember 

 to have feen lome PLmts of this 

 Kind growing againft a Wall in the 

 Gardens at Hampton-Court, where 

 they had endur'd the Winter, and 

 were in a more flourifhing State 

 than ever I faw any of the kind in 

 Pots, and produc'd a greater Quan- 

 tity of Flowers. Tbefe Plants are 

 propagated in the fame Manner as 

 the Ycilov/ Indian, and require the 

 fame Management. The Flowers 

 of this Kind are fmall, but being 

 produc'd in large Bunches, do make 

 a handibme Figure, and are of a 

 f ery agreeable Scenr, and the Leaves 

 being large and of a fhm'ng green 

 Colour, add to the Beauty of the 

 Plant very much. 



The lleX'leav'cl Jafmine r fiords 

 the Icaft Plealiire of any of the Kinds 

 ot Jafmines, the Flowers being only 

 producM Imgly from the Wings of 

 the Leaves, and are very fmall ; 

 the Leave^alio are of a pale Green, 

 and the Plant naturally growing 

 very ragged, has occalion'd its bcmg 

 but' little v.lu'dj however, itlhoud 

 not he wanting in good CoUedf ions 

 of Plants, tor though the Flowers 

 are Imali and produc'd iingly, yet 

 it cont'nues flowering moft part of 

 the Year. This Plant is propagated 

 by planting Cuttings in any of the 

 Summer- months, which fliould be 

 put into Pots hll'd with light landy 

 Earth, tmd plung'd into a Hot-bed, 

 obferving to water ?.nd fhade them 

 as the Scafon may require. When

thele arc rooted, fwhich will be 

 in about five or lix Weeks time) 

 they may be removed into feparate 

 Potsj and when they have taken 

 frefh Root, they may be remov'd 

 into a Situation where they may be 

 defended from ftrong Winds, in 

 which Place they may remain un- 

 til the Middle oi October \ at which 

 time they muft be hous'd with Ge- 

 raniums, &c. obferving to ^A^ater 

 them frequently, and give them as 

 much free Air as polTible, when the 

 Weather is mild and will permit i 

 for if tliey are too much drav/nin 

 Winter, their tender Shoots will be 

 fubje(ft to grov/ mouldy and rot. 

 Thele Piants ihould be often renew'd 

 by planting Cuttings, for the old 

 ones are very fubjedt to decay. 



The Arabian Jafmines of both 

 Sorts arc commonly brought into 

 England from Genoa every Spring, 

 amongft the Spanijh yafmhasf- 

 Thefe are all grafted upon the com- 

 mon Jafmine Stock, as are thcSpa- 

 nifl'}-^ but being much tenderer than 

 thole, arc very otten greatly injur'd 

 in their PdlTi-.ge, (which is alv/ays 

 in the Winter-leaibn) fo that you 

 fhould care^UJly examine them (when 

 you purrhale them of the Italians, 

 who bring them over) to fee if 

 their Grafts are frefh and found i 

 if lb, there is little Danger of fuc- 

 ceeding. Thefe muft be put into 

 Water and waflVd, pruning their 

 Roots and Tranches, and planting 

 tliem, as was dire6ted for the Spa- 

 nijl} Jafmines, to which I fhall rekr 

 the Reader to avoid Repetition. 



Thefe Plants are more tender 

 than any of the Sorts before- men- 

 tion'd, and muft be preferv'd in a 

 warm Srove in Winter, nor fhould 

 they be expos'd to the open Air in 

 Summer, if you would have them 

 flower well, (though indeed the 

 Plants will live and thrive in the 



open
