 long time : This being a Native of 

 cold mountainous Places, fhould 

 have a fhady cooi Situation, arid is 

 very proper for North Borders,

 by parting ot the Roots, in the 

 fame manner as the former. 



The eleventh Sort is admitted in- 

 to Gardens for the beautiful Co- 

 lours of its Flowers, of which there 

 are a great Number of Varieties, 

 but they have no Scent. This Plant 

 is annual, but will require no o;hcr 

 Culture than only to place a rew 

 Roots in fuch Parts of the Garden 

 where you would have them grow, 

 and fuft'cr them to flied their Seeds, 

 which will come up and multiply 

 faft enough j therefore you mull 

 obferve to reduce them within 

 Compafs, otherwile they will fpread 

 over the whole Garden. This Plant 

 is plac'd amongfh the Officinal Sim- 

 ples in the College Difpenfatory.
