Thefe Plants are annual, feldom 

 abiding after they have pcrfe<5led 

 their Seeds. Thc7 are preferved 

 only in fuch Gardens where a great 

 Variety of Plants are maintain'd, 

 being Plants of no great Beauty or 

 Ufe. Thefe may be propagated by 

 lowing their Seeds in March, up- 

 on a Bed of frel"h, light Earth, in 

 an open Situation, where the Plants 

 will come up loon after j and when 

 they are about two Inches high, 

 they mull: be tranfplanted out, ei- 

 ther into frefh Beds of light Earth, 

 or in the Borders of the Pleafure- 

 Gavdcn, placing 'em at two Feet 

 Diilance, for their BranchfS will 

 extend pretty far, if the Soil be 

 rich J and when they have taken 

 Root tli^y will require no firther 

 Care, but only to keep 'em clear 

 from Weeds, and faften them to 

 Sticks to prevent their being broke 

 by Winds when they advance.

 and if the Seafon proves warm, 

 their Seeds will be perfected in 

 September, but if the Seafon be 

 cold and raoift, they commoniy

 ^eeds in this Country ; For which 

 Realbn thcfp Plants fliould be rais'd 

 in Autumn, vand preferved through 

 the Winter i:^uJer a common Frame,

 as before, when they will flower 

 early, and produce good Seeds.

There are feme other Varieties 

 of this Plant, which are preferv'd 

 in curious Botanick Gardens abroad, 

 but thofe here mention'd are what 

 I have obfervcd in the Engliflj Gar- 

 dens. 



They are all very hardy PlantS;, 

 and may be eaiily mu'tiplied by 

 their Off-fets, which they fend 

 forth in gicat Plenty : The beft 

 Seafon to tranfplant them is in Au- 

 gufl or September, juft after their 

 Leaves decay ; tor if they are per- 

 mitted to remain long after, and 

 the Seafon Ibould prove moift; 

 they will fend forth frelli Fibres, 

 when it will be too lare to re- 

 move 'em, unlefs they are taken 

 up -with Bills of Earih. 



They will grow in almofl: any 

 Soil or Situation, but will thrived
