The firft ot ttijfe Plants is cul- 

 tivated in Gardens for Medicinal 

 Uiei as is the third, for tarnifliing 

 Balconies, and other little Places in 

 and near the City, by way of Orna- 

 ment; but the other Sorts are rarely 

 to be found, but in the Gardens of 

 thofc who are curious in Botanical 

 Studies. 



Moft of thefe Plants may be cul- 

 tivated £0 as to become Ornaments 

 to a Garden, particularly in fmall 

 Bofquets of ever -green Shrubs, 

 where, if thefe are artfully inter- 

 mix'd with other Plants of the 

 fame Growth, and placed in the 

 front Line, they will make an 

 agreeable Variety j efoecially if Care 

 be taken to trim them twice in a 

 Summer, to keep them within 

 Bounds i otherwife their Branches 

 are apt to ftraggle, and in wet Wea- 

 ther to be born down and difplaced, 

 which renders them unlightly 5 but 

 when they are kept in Order, their 

 hoary and different colour'd Leaves 

 will have a pretty Eticdi: in fuch 

 Plantations. 



Theie Plants may be propagated 

 by planting Slips or. Cuttings of 

 any of the Kinds, during the Spring, 

 which fliould be put into a Border 

 of light frcPa Earth, and watered 

 and Hiadcd in hot dry Weather, 

 until they have taken Root, after 

 Vv'hich they will require no farther 

 Care, but to keep them clear from 

 W^eeds, 'till Augufl, when they fliould 

 be carefully taken up and traniplanted 

 where they are deiign'd^to remain: 

 But if the Ground is not ready by

that Time to receive 'em, it will 

 be proper to lee them remain in 

 the Border until Spring; for iPtbcy 

 are tranfplanted late in Autumn, 

 they are liable to be dellroy'd by a 

 little Cold in Winter. 



Thefe Plants are very hardy, and 

 it planted in a lean, graveky, or 

 fandy dry Soil, will continue many 

 Years, and refill the Cold very Weil j 

 but if they are in a wet or rich Soil, 

 they are often deftroy'd in Winter.

The firtl of theie Plants is annual, 

 and is pi opagatcd by lowing of the 

 Seeds upon a Bed of light, frcHi 

 Earth, in March ; and when the 

 Plants are come up, they muft be 

 tranfplanted into other Beds, phcin^
