will require no farther Care but 

 only to keep them clear from Weeds 

 until Michaelmas ; at v/hich time 

 they may be remov'd into the Bor- 

 ders ol- the Flower-Garden, where 

 the next Summer they will pro- 

 duce very ftrong Stems of Flowers : 

 but if you would propagate them 

 by parting the Roots, it fhould be 

 done in September (as was dire£led 

 for the fore-mention'd Sorts). This 

 Plant will grow in almoft any Soil 

 or Situation, but does bell in a 

 middling, loamy Soil, and an open 

 Expofure. 



The DoiMe Lychnis, or Nonfuch, 

 is only propagated by parting the 

 Roots, or planting the Cuttings of 

 its Fiower-ftems, which, if water'd 

 and fliaded, will take Root very 

 well, and make good Plants. The 

 beft Seafon for parting the Roots is 

 in September : but for planting the 

 Cuttings, ftdy is the mofl proper 

 Seafon ; in doing of this, you Hiould 

 take only the lower Parts of the 

 Flower-ftems, which generally fuc- 

 ceed much better than the extreme 

 Parts ; The Cuttings (hould have 

 three Joints, two qt which fhould 

 be placed in the Ground, and the 

 third only left above-ground, from 

 whxh the Shoot will be produc'd 

 and make a good Plant; by which 

 Method this beautiful Flower may 

 be propagated much fafter than 

 from the Root alcne. 



This Piant delights in a frefl^. 

 light Soil, which is not too dry, 

 where it will produce very ftrong 

 Stems, and rife about three Feet 

 high. This flowers in J^uly, and 

 if the Seafon does not prove very 

 hot, will continue in Beauty a 

 , whole Month, for which it is 

 greatly efteem'd. 



The DouMe Sopewort is a Plant 

 of no great Beauty; and being a 

 very great Runner in Gardens; has 



L Y 



been almoft excluded from all cu- 

 rious Gardens : but as it is a Plant 

 which requires very little Culture, 

 fo it may be admitted to have a 

 Place in fome abjeft Part of the 

 Garden. This is propagated by its 

 running Roots, which fhould be 

 tranfplanted in October, and may be 

 plac'd in any Soil and Situation, but 

 fhould never ftand near any other 

 Plan'-s, for it will over-run and 

 deftroy them. It may be planted 

 under Trees in large Avenues, <Qnc. 

 where it will thrive very well, and 

 in AugHJl will produce large Bunches 

 of double Flowers, which are very 

 proper to place in Chimneys, ^c. 

 or in Bafons among other Flowers, 

 where it will make a fine Appear- 

 ance; and were it lefs common, it 

 would be more efteem'd than it is 

 at prefent. 



The Spattl'mg Poppy, or Pl^'hha 

 Behen, is a very common Plant in 

 the Fields in moft Vaxtsoi England, 

 and is rarely cultivated in Gardens,- 

 but thofe who have a mind to pre- 

 ferve it for Medicinal Uies, may 

 propagate it by fowing the Seeds 

 in March on a Bed of common 

 Earth, w!)cre the Plants will eaftly 

 rife, and if kept clear from Weeds 

 will foon overfpread the Ground, 

 and will continue for feveral Years. 



The Red Ger?nan Catchfiies, both 

 fmgle and double, are eaffly pro- 

 pagated by parting the Roots, which 

 fhouid be done in Autumn, for if 

 it be pe-.form'd in the Spring, the 

 d^Y Weather, which ullialiy hap- 

 pens at that Seafon, greatly retards 

 their Growth, whereby their Flow- 

 ers are never ^o ftrong, nor pro- 

 duc'd in iuch Plenty as when they 

 are remov'd in Autumn. Theie.. 

 produce their Flowers in Spikes 

 upon clammy Stalks, which grow 

 about a Foot high, and flower in 

 J.pril and Mf.y ; That with fmgle
