 of thefe Plants, which differ in the 

 Colour of their Flowers: but as

 known being intirely different in 

 Colour from thofe here mcucion'd ;)

£0 it would be needlefs in this 

 Place to infert all their minute Di* 

 flindtions, efpecially as they are fe- 

 minal Variations, and feldom pro- 

 duce the fame exact Colours agaia 

 from Seeds. 



Thefe Plants are all propagated 

 from Seeds, which fliould be fowra 

 upon a Bed of frefh Earth in 

 March ; and when the Plants arc 

 come up pretty ftrong, they muft 

 be tran^lanted out into Nurfery- 

 htds at about eight Inches Diftance 

 from each other, obferving to wa* 

 ter them until they have taken 

 Root: After which they will re- 

 quire no farther Care until the Mi- 

 chaelmas following, but only to 

 keep them clear from Weeds; at 

 which time they fliould be tranjp- 

 planted into Rows two Feet afun- 

 der, and a Foot Diftance in the 

 Rows; in which PLice they may 

 continue until they flower, when 

 you fhould mark all thofe with 

 Double Flowers, which have good 

 Colours, with Sticks, that they 

 may be tranfphnted into the Bor- 

 ders of large Gardens at Michael- 

 mas, where they will remain four 

 or five Years, and produce their 

 Flowers very flrong : but when 

 the Roots are much older they be- 

 gin to decay, and do not produce 

 their Stems lb flrong, nor are their 

 Flowers fo large ; wherefore there 

 fhould always be a Supply of young 

 Plants raised from Seeds every third 

 or fourth Year, in order to have 

 the Flowers in Perfedtion: Bat ic 

 is the better way to change the 

 Seeds every three or four Years, 

 with fome Perfon of Integrity

 and is exa6t to lave Seeds from 

 none but Double Flowers, and liich
