to fupply the fame, fb that it is 

 not often cuUivared in Gardens; 

 but thofe who have a Mind to 

 propagate it, may do it with much 

 Eaie J for as the Branches trail up- 

 on the Ground, they pufh out 

 Roots from their Joints, which 

 Branches being cut off and planted, 

 will take Root and grow in almcft 

 any Soil or Situation. 



The fecond, third, and fourth 

 Sorts are very ornamental Plants in 

 the large Borders of the Flower- 

 Garden, particularly the fourth, 

 which produces a great Number 

 of Spikes of beautiful blue Flow- 

 ers. Thefe continue fl'owering at 

 lead two Months, and in cool, 

 moift Seafbns much longer j and 

 thefe Flowers are very proper to 

 cut for Bafbns or Flowers-pots to 

 adorn Rooms in the Summer-fea- 

 fon. 



The fifth Sort is a Native of the 

 Mountains in Wales, from whence 

 it hath been traniplanted into ma- 

 ny curious Gardens. This pro- 

 duces fine large Spikes of blue 

 Flowers, and deferves a Place in 

 every Garden. 



The fixth, feventh, eighth, and 

 ninth Sorts are Natives of warmer 

 Countries than England, but are 

 hardy enough to endure the Cold 

 of our Winters very well, provided 

 they are planted in a dry Soil. 

 Thefe are all pretty Varieties, and 

 do fucceed each other in Flower- 

 ing, which renders them worthy 

 of a Place in every curious Gar- 

 den. Thefe fliould all be planted 

 in the Middle ot the Borders in 

 the Pleafure-Garden (except the fifth 

 and ninth, which feldom grow a- 

 bove a Foot high, and fb are bet- 

 ter placed amongft Flowers of the 

 fame Growth) where, being inter- 

 in ix'd with other Flowers, they 

 afford an agreeable Variety,

They may be propagated by part- 

 ing of their Roots, which com- 

 monly increafe very fad, fb that 

 the railing 'em from Seeds is feldom 

 praftis'd. The bed Time for part- 

 ing and tranfplanting the Roots is 

 in September, that they may have 

 Time to take frefli Root before 

 the V/inter comes on; and thefe 

 being fix'd in Autumn, will be 

 much f^ronger than thofe which 

 arc remov'd in the Spring, and 

 will produce a greater Number of 

 Flowers. 



They may be planted in almofl 

 any Situation, but fhould have a 

 middling frefli Soil, not too wet, 

 in which they will thrive exceed- 

 ingly, and require no farther Care 

 but to keep them clear from Weeds, 

 and to part their Roots every Au- 

 tumn; for if they are fuffer'd to 

 remain too long unremov'd, their 

 Roots will fpread, and take up too 

 much Room in the Borders, fo as 

 to injure f uch Plants as grow near 

 them.
