Flowers always is the earlieH-, but 

 the doable Sort continues longell: in 

 Flower. 



The (ingle Sort may be propa- 

 gated by Seeds, which fhould be 

 ib wn in March, upon a Bed of 

 light Earth 5 and when the Plants 

 come up, they fliould be trani- 

 planted into Nurferv-beds about lix 

 Inches aflinder, where they will 

 require no farther Care than to keep 

 them clear from Weeds, and in very 

 dry Weather to give them a little 

 Water, and at Michaelmas they may 

 be removed where they are deiign'd 

 to remain. 



The iingle flower'd Sort is not 

 near io beautiful as the Double, and 

 therefore hardly worth propagating, 

 /ince the Double is very eaiily mul- 

 tiply'd i cfpecially if planted in a 

 moid, light Soil, in which it will 

 thrive exceedingly, and produce 

 ftrong Flowers. This Sort is very 

 proper to plant in Pots, to adorn 

 imall Court- Yards at the Time of 

 its Flowering. 



The fixtecnth and nineteenth Sorts 

 are pretty Varieties in a Garden ; 

 and as they take up but little Room, 

 and are not very nice in their Cul- 

 ture, they may have a Place amongft 

 other Flowers of the fame Growth. 

 Thefe are propagated by lowing 

 their Seeds in March, upon a Bed 

 ot light, frefli Earth j and when the 

 Plants are come up, they fliould be 

 tranlplantcd into a Nuriery-bed, as 

 the former, and at Michaelmas may 

 be remov'd into the Borders of the 

 F lower-Garden, where they are to 

 remain. Thefe Plants commonly 

 grow about two Feet high; but as 

 Their Leaves are narrow, and the 

 Flower-flems ftand ereft, fo they 

 take up very little Room, and their 

 Roots will continue feveral Years, 

 and annually produce large Quan-

titles of Flowers ; Thefe delight in 

 a frefli light dry Soil. 



The ieventeenth is a biennial 

 Plant i and is only propagated by 

 Seeds, which fhould be ibwn on a 

 Border of frefh light Earth mMarch , 

 and when the Plants are come up, 

 they fhould be tranfplanted : fome 

 of which fliould be planted in Pots 

 fiU'd with the lame frefh Earth, 

 that they may be remov'd under 

 Shelter in Winter : for it often hap- 

 pens, in fevere Winters, that thoie 

 Plants which are plac'd in the open 

 Air are deftroy'd ; for which Rea- 

 fbn it is advifeable to have fbme of 

 the Plants in Shelter to fecure the 

 Kind. 



The other Plants may be planted 

 in a Nurfery-bed, as was directed 

 for the former Kinds, where they 

 may remain until Michaelmas ■., at 

 which Time they fhould be trani^ 

 planted into warm Borders, and in 

 a light dry Soil, where they w\\\ 

 endure the Cold of our ordinary 

 Winters very well, and flower very 

 ftrong the fucceeding Summer. 

 This Plant commonly grows three 

 Feet high, and is apt to branch out 

 pretty much, therefore fhould be 

 fupported by Stakes, otherwife the 

 Wind otten breaks down the Flow- 

 er-ftems before the Seeds are per- 

 fe6led. 



The eighteenth Sort is alfo ten- 

 der : This may be propagated by 

 fowing the Seeds in the fame man- 

 ner as the former j and when the 

 Plants come up, fome of them 

 fhould be planted into Pots fill'd 

 with light frefh undung'd Earth, 

 that they may be flielter'd in Win- 

 ter j and the reft planted into a 

 Nurfery-bed, which ftiould be pre- 

 par'd of frelli light Earth that has 

 not been dung'd ; for Moifture and 

 Richneis in the Soil v/iil deftroy
