Thefe are all annual Plants, which 

 are propagated by Seeds : The Sea- 

 ion for {owing em is in March, 

 upon a Bed of frefh light Earth j 

 and when the Plants are come up, 

 you muft carefully clear them from 

 Weeds} and in very dry Weather 

 they muft be now-and-then re- 

 frelh'd with Water. When they 

 are about two Inches high, you 

 muft tranfplant them into the Pla- 

 ces where they are delign'd to re- 

 main, which ihould be in the Mid- 

 dle of the Borders in the Flower- 

 Garden, for if the Soil be good, 

 they will grow two or three Feet 

 high: In tranfplanting them, you 

 muft take 'em up very carefully, 

 preierving a Ball of Earth to their 

 Roots, othcrwife they are apt to 

 mifcarry : And alio water and fhade 

 them until they have taken Root j 

 after which they will require no 

 other Care but to clear them trom 

 Weeds, and to faften them to 

 Stakes to prevent their being in- 

 jured by ftrong Winds. You may 

 alfo fow their Seeds in Autumn j 

 and when the Plants are come up, 

 you fhould tranfplant them into 

 fmall Pots, which, tov/ards the 

 End of Odober, fliould be plac'd 

 into a common Hot-bed Frame, 

 where the Plants being defended 

 from fevere Frofts, will abide the 

 Winter very v/ell; and in the 

 Spring you may fhake them out 

 of the Pots, and plant them into 

 larger* or elfe into the full Ground, 

 where they may remain to flower : 

 The Plants thus manag'd, will be

larger, and flower ftronger and earlier 

 than thoie fbwn in the Spring, and 

 from thefe you will conftantly have 

 good Seeds j whereas thole ibwn 

 in the Spring do fometimes mif- 

 carry. 



Thefe produce their Flowers in 

 ynne, fitly and Augufl, and their 

 Sqq^^ ripen foon after. 



They are very ornamental Plants 

 in a line Garden, when plac'd a- 

 mong other Annuals, either in Pots 

 or Borders J their Flowers are very 

 like thofc of the Mallow, but are 

 larger and of a more beautiful Co- 

 lour.
