fmall Pot, filled with frefli, light 

 Earth, and if they are planged into 

 a moderate Hot-bed, it will great- 

 ly promote their taking Root; but 

 in May they mufl be inured to the 

 open Air by Degrees, into which 

 they flioald be loon after removed. 



Thus thefe Plants fhould be ma- 

 naged while young, during which 

 Time they are tender, but when 

 they are three or tour Years old, 

 they may be planted in the full 

 Ground where, if they have a dry 

 Soil, and a warm Situation, they 

 will endure the Cold ot our ordi- 

 nary Winters very well. 



Thefe Plants may be alfb propa- 

 gated by Suckers, which the old 

 ones do many times fend forth 

 from their Roots, but thefe are 

 feldom fo well rooted as thofe pro- 

 duced fiom Seeds, and do feldom 

 make fo good Plants, for which 

 Reafon they are but rarely propa- 

 gated that \Vay. 



The third Sort is very common 

 in Barbados, Jamaica^ and the o- 

 ther warm Parts ot America, from 

 whence I have feveral times recei- 

 ved the Seeds, which do generally 

 rife very freely on a Hot-bed ; but 

 the Plants bemg very tender, re- 

 quire the Help of a Bark-bed con- 

 iiantly, without which they will 

 not make any Progrefs j and in 

 Winter they muft be placed in the 

 Biirk-Stove, where, if they are fre- 

 quently refrcfh'd with Water, they 

 will thrive extremely well. There 

 are feveral Plants of this Kind in 

 the Gardens or the Curious, but I 

 have not obferved any to produce 

 Flowers as yer. 



The fourth Sort was brought 

 into England from fome curious 

 Garden m Holland many Years a- 

 go; this was rais'd in the Gardens 

 of Mynheer Van Beaumont, from 

 Seeds, which he received trom Cey- 



F A 



hn, and fince hath been communi- 

 cated to many curious Perfons in 

 Holland znd England, There is no 

 Way as yet found fuccefsful to 

 propagate this Plant, but from 

 Seeds, which being never pf-odu- 

 ced in thele cold Countries, and 

 but rarely brought from Abroad, 

 is the Reafon it is not very com- 

 mon in the European Gardens at 

 prelent. 



This is preferved in Pots of light, 

 frefh Earth, and placed in a Stove 

 in Winter, where it may be kept 

 in a moderate Warmth, and muft 

 be frequently refrefh'd with Water, 

 with which Culture the Plants 

 will thrive very well ; but I have 

 not feen 'em produce any Flowers 

 as yet in England, though there arc 

 feveral pretty old Trees in the Gar- 

 dens at Hampton-Cour:.

FABAi Beans. 



There are four Sorts of Beans 

 commonly planted in Gardens, 'viz.. 

 The fmall Lisbon, the Spanijlj, the 

 Sandwich and Windfor Beans. The 

 firfl and fecond Sorts are ufually 

 planted in October and November, 

 under warm Walls or Hedges, to 

 have them early; where, if they 

 fland through the Winter, they 

 will produce Beans early in the 

 Spring; Or they may be planted 

 clofe in Beds, in fome Piece of 

 Ground that is well defended from 

 the North and Eafi Winds ; and be- 

 ing arch'd over with Hoops or 

 Withies, may be cover 'd, in very 

 hard Frofls, with Mats and Straw ; 

 and in the Spring thefe Plants may 

 be tranfplanted into warm Borders, 

 by which means your Crop will 

 be fecur'd from Injuries of Froft; 

 and if Care be taken in tranfplant- 

 ing them, not to break their 

 Roots, and alio to w:iter them, if
