There are a great Variety of the 

 Garden Frimrofcs or Folyanthus's^ 

 which are annually produc'd from 

 Seeds; the Flowers of which are fo 

 beautifully ftrip'd, and fome of 

 them have a great Number of 

 Flowers upon a Stalk, fo that they 

 equal the Auricula's in the Beauty 

 of their Flowers; and as they re- 

 quire but little Culture, fo they 

 have, in many Gardens, obtained 

 the Preference to moft other Spring 

 Flowers. 



The firft Sort of Frimrofe grows 

 wild in Woods and other fhady 

 Places in moft Parts of England, 

 from whence their Roots may be 

 eafily tranfplanted into the Garden ; 

 where, if they are plac'd under 

 Hedges, and in ftiady Walks, they 

 make a beautiful Appearance early 

 in the Spring, when few other 

 Plants are in Flower. 



The beft Time to tranfplant them 

 is at Michaehnas, that their Roots 

 may have Strength to produce their 

 Flowers early in the Spring. Thefe 

 delight in a ftrong rich Soil, but 

 will grow in almoft any fort of 

 Earth, provided they have a Ihady 

 Situation. 



The fixth, feventh and eighth 

 Sorts are Varieties of the firft, which 

 have been accidentally produc'd from 

 Seeds: Thefe may be propagated 

 by parting of their Roots at Mi- 

 chaelmas, and muft be treated as the 

 common Sort. 



The ninth and tenth Sorts, do 

 alfo grow wild in the Meadows in 

 divers Parts of England, the Roots 

 of which are often tranfplanted 

 into Gardens; where, if they are 

 intermix'd with other early flower-
