P o 



the Borders of the Flower-Garden, 

 where, being intermix'd with dif- 

 ferent forts of Flowers, they will 

 make a beautiful Appearance. Thefe 

 produce their Flowers in May and 

 June J and their Seeds ripen in An- 

 gufl. 



The variegated Kinds are pre- 

 lerv'd by parting of their Roots, 

 becaufe the Plants rais'd from Seeds 

 would be fubjedl to degenerate, 

 and become plain. The belt time 

 to part them is about Michstelmast 

 that they may take good Root before 

 the cold Weather prevents them. 

 Thefe fiiould have a frcfh light Soil, 

 but if it be too rich, their Roots 

 will rot in Winter, and their Stripes 

 will go off.

There are feveral other Species of 

 this Plant, which are prefery'd in 

 fome curious Bota7iick Gardens for 

 Variety j but thofe here mention'd, 

 are what I have obferv'd in the 

 EnglifJj Gardens. 



Thefe Plants are all propagated 

 by planting their Cuttings in 1 

 Bed of light frefli Earth, during 

 any of the Summer Months, which 

 fhould be water'd and fliaded until 

 they have taken Root j after which 

 they will require no other Culture 

 than to keep them clear from Weeds 

 until Michaelmas j when they (hould 

 be tranfplanted into a warm Situa- 

 tion, and muft have a very dry Soil, 

 otherwise they are fubje6t to decay 

 in Winter, for they are Natives o£ 

 warm Countries : but if they are 

 plac'd in a dry Rubbifh, under the 

 Shelter of a Wall or Pale, they will 

 endure the Cold of our ordinary 

 Winters very well. Thefe Plants 

 produce their Flowers in fune and 

 July, but do rarely perfect their 

 Seeds in this Country. Their Flow- 

 ers have very little Beauty in them j 

 but for their hoary Leaves, and odd 

 Appearance, a few Plants of them 

 may be admitted for Variety. The 

 fecond Sort is us'd in Medicine.
