The above colle6lion of bulbous and tube- 

 rous-rooted flowers are great ornaments to 

 the Flower Garden, as in the different fpecies 

 and varieties they continue flowering, in fuc- 

 ceffion, from January, February, or March, 

 till OAober, as formerly obferved ; then, in 

 all the Spring and Summer flowering kinds, 

 the italics and leaves decay, but the roots remain 

 induration from year to year, and flower annu- 

 ally at their due feafon , either in the fame roots, 

 or in fome forts, as in tulip. Sec. the main bulb 

 wholly periflies, and is fucceeded by the prin- 

 cipal oiF-fet thereof, previoufly emitted from 

 the bottom, encreafing to full fize, becomes 

 the main root for next year's flowering : and 

 thus t)ie fpecies is perpetuated, in a perennial 

 ftate; and which, and all the other bulbous 

 and tuberous kinds, propagate plentifully by 

 fmall fide olF-fets of the mother root, iefs or 

 more every year, which may be feparated
