rer, fo they {hould hare a warmer 

 Situation, otherwife they are fub- 

 )c€t to be deftroy'd in very cold 

 Winters: They fliould alio have a 

 dry Soil, which fhould be frcfli, 

 but not dung'd i for if the Soil be 

 too rank, they often canker and 

 decay, efpecially in wet Seafons. 



Thefe Plants are all of them 

 pretty Varieties in large Gardens 

 where there is Room : But they 

 are feldom cultivated in fmall Pla- 

 ces, elpccially the two firft Sorts, 

 which grow pretty large, and take 

 up too much Room. Their Flow- 

 ers are not very beautiful : But for 

 the Oddnefs of their Seed-vefTels, 

 as alfb the different Appearances 

 of the Plants, they may be admit- 

 ted. 



The third, fifth, and fixth Sorts 

 arc percnn'al Plants, which may be 

 propagated by planting Cuttings 

 of any of them in the Summer 

 Months, in a fliady Border ot light 

 frefli Earth, obicrving to water 

 them until they have taken Root ; 

 after which, they may be remov'd 

 into the Places where they are to 

 remain, and muft be treated as 

 thofe Plants which were rais'd 

 from Seeds.

It hath ei papilionaceous Flower,

There are feveral other Varieties 

 of this Plant, which are prefer v'd 

 in ibme curious Botanick Gardens, 

 that differ chiefly in the Colour 

 and Size of their Flowers and 

 Fruit; but thofe here mention'd 

 are fuch as generally are preferr'd, 

 for the Beauty of their Flowers, for 

 which alone they are propagated 

 in the Engli/Jj Gardens. 



The firft Sort is very common 

 in every Garden, being ibwn in 

 the Borders of the Flower-Garden, 

 with other hardy Kinds of annual 

 Plants, which do not require the 

 Affiilance of a Hot-bed to bring 

 them forward. The Seeds of this, 

 and the common Yellow and White 

 Ltifines, are very common at eve- 

 ry Seed-fliop, where they are ge- 

 nerally fold at a very rea&nable 

 Price. Thcfe Seeds may be fown 

 in April, May, and June, in order 

 to continue a Succeffion of their 

 Flowers through the Summer.
