The feven firft Species are annu- 

 al Plants, which perifli ibon after 

 they have perfected Seeds: Thefe 

 may be propagated by fowing their 

 Seeds in March, upon a Bed ot 

 frefh light Earth, in a warm Situa- 

 tion ; and when the Plants are come 

 up about two Inches high, they 

 fnould be tranfplanted into the Bor- 

 ders of the Plealiire-Gardcn, obfer- 

 ving to water 'em until they have 

 taken Root: After which they 

 •will require no farther Care but 

 to keep them clear from Weeds j 

 and if they grow pretty tall, to 

 fupport thsm with Sticks, to pre- 

 vent their being broken by Winds. 

 ■ In june and July they will pro- 

 duce their Flowers ^ and in Augufi 

 their Seeds will be perfefted, when 

 they muft be gather'd, and pre- 

 Icrv'd dry for the fucceeding 

 Spring. 



The Seeds may alfo be fown 

 upon a v/arm Border in Aiigufi, 

 where the Plants will come up 

 foon after, and will endure the 

 Cold of our ordinary Winters very 



M O 



well, provided they have a dry 

 Soil, and a warm Situation. 



In the Spring they may be tranf^ 

 planted out into the Borders where 

 they arc delign'd to be continu'd, 

 where they will flower early, and 

 produce good Seeds j whereas it 

 fometimes happens, that if the 

 Seafbn proves cold and wet, thofe 

 Plants which are Ibwn in the Spring 

 do not perfect their Seeds. 



There is no very great Beauty in 

 thele Plants i but as they re'quire 

 little Culture, fb they may be ad- 

 mitted into large Borders of the 

 Flower-Garden, where being in- 

 termix'd with other Plants, they 

 aftord an agreeable Variety. The 

 moft valuable Sorts are the two 

 Oriental Kinds with large Flow- 

 ers i thefe commonly grow about 

 eighteen Inches high, and divide 

 into feveral Branches, but do not 

 take up much Room j and being 

 annual Plants, there will be no 

 Danger of their injuring others 

 that may grow near them. 



The eighth Sort is an abiding 

 Plant, which may be eafily propa- 

 gated by planting Cuttings, during 

 any of the Summer Months, in a 

 Border of rich Earth, obferving to 

 water and fhade 'em until they 

 have taken Root, which they do 

 commonly in about three Weeks 

 timei after which they will re- 

 quire no farther Care than only to 

 keep them clear from Weeds, 'till 

 they have made confiderable Pro- 

 grefs, when they ftiould be taken 

 up, preferving a Bail of Earth to 

 each Plant, and fct into Pots fili'd 

 with frefh light Earth, placing 

 them in a fliady Situation until they 

 have taken h'efh Root j after which, 

 they may be expos'd to the open 

 Air until the iMiddie or Latter-end 

 of OciobeVy when they maft be 



remov'd
