Urge Tufts of white radiated Flow- 

 ers upon the Summits of their 

 Stalks, which continue a long Time 

 in Beauty i they commonly grow 

 two Feet high or more, for which 

 Reafon they fliould always be pla- 

 ced in the Middle of large Borders, 

 and require to be planted at a good 

 Diftance trom other Plants, other- 

 wife they will over-bear them 5 fo 

 that they are not very proper for 

 fmall Gardens, taking up too much 

 Room. 



Thefe are very hardy Plants, 

 and may be propagated either by 

 rowing their Seeds, or parting 

 their Roots j the beft Time for 

 fowing of their Seeds, is in March, 

 upon a Border of light frefh Earth, 

 and when the Plants are come up 

 pretty ftrong, they muft be tranf- 

 planted into frefli Borders of the 

 like Earth, placing them at eight 

 Inches Diflance each Way j in thefe 

 Borders they may remain till Mi- 

 chaelmas, when they fhould be re- 

 moved into the Borders where 

 they are to continue, and the Sum- 

 mer following they will produce 

 Flowers and Seeds. 



But if you would propagate 

 them by parting their Roots, the 

 befl: Seafon for this Work is in 

 Septemkr or Ociober; for it it be 

 done in the Spring, they feldom 

 flower fo flrong the fucceeding 

 Summer. 



The third Sort multiplies too 

 faft by its creeping Roots, which 

 will fpread and come up at a great 

 Diflance from the old Plant, fo 

 that it is hardly to be kept within 

 tolerable Bounds i but is very apt 

 to run over whatever Plants ftand 

 near, for which Reafbn it fliould 

 never be placed amongft choice 

 Flowers, but allowed a Place in 

 feme abjed: Part of the Garden, in 

 a Corner allotted to it, where it will

grow to the Height of four Feet, 

 and produce large radiated white 

 Flowers in Augufi and September. 



The fourth Sort is feldom ad- 

 mitted into curious Flower-Gar- 

 dens, it being a rambling Plant, 

 and the Branches trailing upon the 

 Ground, renders it unlightly, nor 

 are the Flowers very beautiful j £0 

 that it is feldom preferved but in 

 Botanick Gardens. 



Thefe are all very hardy Plants, 

 and will grow in almofl any Soil 

 or Situation, and there being very 

 little Trouble in their Culture, 

 they deferve Room in all large 

 Gardens. 



The fixth Sort is tenderer than 

 any of the former, and muft be 

 preferved in Pots and Iheltered in 

 the Winter. This is propagated 

 by planting Cuttings in any of the 

 Summer Months, into a Border of 

 light Earth, obferving to water 

 and fhade them from the great 

 Heat of the Sun until they have 

 taken Root, after which they muft 

 be planted into Pots tili'd with 

 light frclh Earth, and exposed to 

 the open Air until the Middle or 

 latter End of Ocfober, when they 

 muft be houfed ^ but fliould be 

 placed into the cooleft Part of the 

 Houfe, where they may have much 

 free Air in mild Weather, and muft 

 be frequently refrefli'd with Wa- 

 ter j but in Summer Time they 

 may be expos 'd to the open Air, 

 in a fliady Situation, where they 

 will thrive much better than if ex- 

 pos'd to the Sun, which would 

 dry the Earth too faft, fo that 

 they would conftantly require to 

 be watered. 



This Plant is not apt to conti- 

 nue above tv/o or three Years 

 without renewing, therefore Cut- 

 tings fhould be planted every other 

 Year, to maintain the Kind, where
