The firft, fecond, and fourth 

 Sorts are very common in moft 

 Englifi Gardens : Thefe are very 

 hardy Plants, and eafily propagated 

 either by parting of their Roots, 

 or from Seed ; if by parting the 

 Roots, it fhould be done about the 

 Latter-end of Augujl, or the Be- 

 ginning of September, that they 

 may take Root before the cold 

 Weather comes on: They may be 

 planted in any Situation, provided 

 they have a light dry Soil, If you 

 would propagate them from Seeds, 

 they fhould be Town in March up- 

 on a Bed of frefh light Earth ; and 

 in May the Plants fhould be tran- 

 fplanted into another Bed of the 

 like frefh Earth, at about fix In- 

 ches Diflance from each other; 

 obferving to water and fhade 'em 

 until they have taken Rooti after 

 which, they will require no far- 

 ther Culture than to keep them 

 clear from Weeds. 



At Michaebnas following thefe 

 Plants may be placed into the large 

 Borders of the Pleafure- Garden, 

 where, the Summer following, 

 they will produce their Flowers 

 in yw/ie and ^uly ; and foon after 

 their Seeds will ripen, which, if 

 permitted to fhed on the Ground, 

 will rife in the fucceeding Spring, 

 without any Care. 



Thefe Plants, when intermix'd 

 with others of the like Size, do- 

 m.ake an agreeable Variety during 

 the Seafon of Flowering. 



The Double Rofe Campion is 

 fbmewhat nicer, and requires more 

 Care in its Culture than any of the 

 former : This never produces any 

 Seeds, and is therefore only to be 

 propagated by parting the Roots; 

 the beflTime for which is \r\ Augujl, 

 %vhen the Heads taken off fhould 

 be planted oa a Bed of light frefh 



Earth i
