The firft Sort is very common 

 in moft Englifh Gardens, where, 

 when it has been fuffer'd to fcatter 

 its Seeds, it will come up and flou- 

 rjfh without any Care, and many 

 times becomes a troublefbme Weed. 

 The four next mention'd are equally 

 hardy, and will grow in almoit 

 any Soil or Situation. The Seeds 

 of thefe Plants may be fbwn in 

 March, in an open Situation, and 

 when the Plants come up, they 

 Ihould be kept clean from Weeds, 

 arid where they come up too clofe, 

 ibme of them fhould be pulled up, 

 to allow room for the others to 

 grow. In this Place the Plants may 

 remain till Michaelmas, when they 

 fhould be tranfplanted where they 

 are to remain for flowering. Thefe 

 Plants produce a great Quantity of 

 Seed, which, it permitted to fcatter, 

 will liifEciently ftock the Garden 

 with Plants, but the old Plants 

 rarely continue after they have 

 feeded. 



The fixth and feventh Sorts are 

 much teriderer than the former, and 

 require to be rais'd in a Hot-bed, 

 where they mull be treated as hath 

 been diredted for the Balfamina, to 

 which I refer the P^ead'n o avoid 

 Repetition. Thefe are P^anis ot no 

 great Beauty, but are preferv'd in 

 ibme GariJens for Variety.

The two firfi: are Varieties which 

 only differ in the Colour of their 

 Flowers, the fame Seeds often pro- 

 ducing both Sorts, tho' fav'd from 

 one Plant : As there is alio another 

 Variety with a white Flower, which 

 doth come from the fame Seed, 

 fo that they may pafs Ibr one 

 Plant. 



This is an abiding Plant, which 

 if fown upon a dry, gravelly, or 

 chalky Soil, will continue eighteen 

 or twenty Years ; but if it be fown 

 upon a deep, light, moiit Soil, the 

 Roots will run down into the 

 Ground, and in the Winter Seafbn 

 the Moiflurc will rot the ?-^o )ts, fo 

 that it feidom Lils above two Years 

 in fuch Places. 



This i« eileem'd one of the befl: 

 Sorts of Fodder, • for moft Gittle, 

 and is a great Improvement to 

 fhJ'ow, chalky Hills, upon which 

 it fucceeds l.etjer than in any other 

 Soil, and will continue many Yc;ir3 ; 

 and the Roots of this Plant, when 

 plough'd in, do greatly inrich ths 

 Ground.
