mix'd, do afford an agreeable Va- 

 riety, tho' the iecond may be 

 admitted to add a Luftre to the 

 other. 



Thefe Plants are eafily propaga- 

 ted by Suckers, which they fend 

 forth in great Plenty from the old 

 Plants : Thefc fliould be taken off 

 in October, and planted into a Nur- 

 fery, where they may remain three 

 or tour Years i after which Time 

 they will be fit to tranfplant into 

 the Wildernefs, where they are to 

 continue : They will require no o- 

 ther Culture than to dig the Ground 

 about them every Year, and take 

 off the Suckers which are produced 

 from their Roots i which, it fut- 

 fer'd to remain, would flarve the 

 old Plants, and grow up into an 

 irregular Thicket. 



They will grow in aimoft any 

 Soil or Situation, but do common- 

 ly flower beft in that which is 

 dry; for though a ftrong, moifl: 

 Soil will caufc them to grow more 

 vigoroufly, yet they are feldom fb 

 produdtive of Flowers as in a dry 

 Soil, which is generally the Gale 

 with moft: other Plants. 



The two variegated Sorts are 

 preferv'd by fome Perfbns, who 

 delight in ftrip'd Plants, as Gurio- 

 lities, but they have no great Beau- 

 ty in them j for in the Summer- 

 time, when thefe Plants are free 

 of Growth, their white and yel- 

 low Blotches do not appear very 

 plain : and when they do, it ap- 

 pears more like a Diftemper in 

 them, than any real Beauty. Thefe 

 may be propagated by budding or 

 inarching them upon the common 

 Sort. 



The Privet-leav'd JJUcs arc of 

 humbler Growth than thofe before- 

 mention'd, feldom riling above 

 fix or feven Feet high, but are 

 very great Ornaments in fuiall

Wildernefs-Quarters of flowerin<T 

 Shrubs, where being intermix'd 

 with other Shrubs of the fame 

 Growth, they afford an agreeable 

 Prolpedt. Thefe produce their 

 Flowers in much longer and flen- 

 derer Bunches than the other Sorts, 

 and have a more agreeable Scent. 



They may be propagated from 

 Suckers as the former i but as they 

 feldom produce them in fuch Plen- 

 ty, fo the moft expeditious Me- 

 thod is, to propagate them by 

 Layers, which will take Root in 

 one Year fit to tranfplant j and the 

 Plants thus rais'd, will be much 

 better rooted than thofe produc'd 

 by Suckers, and are not fo fubjedt 

 to fend forth Suckers from their 

 Roots. 



The Cut-leav'd Sort differs from 

 the other in no other refpedl but 

 in having its older Leaves deeply 

 cut in : They are both very har- 

 dy, and will grow in aimoft any 

 Soil or Situation, and may be 

 train'd up to regular Heads, if 

 rightly manag'd while young.
