of diiFerent colours; and in which ftate of 

 fmgle colours, they by the floriih are deno- 

 minated breeders till they break into ftripes, 

 Sec. that to affiil their breaking, the planting 

 them in a light Tandy poor foil for a year or 

 two, or as required, will promote it much 

 fooner, and more efFcdual than in a rich 

 earth ; and when they are well broken into 

 ftripes of different colours, they may then be 

 planted and managed in the common way, in 

 any beds, borders, &c. of the flower garden.; 

 and the different varieties propagated by ofF- 

 fets to encreafe the defireable forts continuing 

 permanent in the properties of their refpe^^ive 

 Howers as before obferved. 



Thus having raifed and obtained a fupply 

 of new varieties of the afore- mentioned flow- 

 ers, or of any particular fpecies thereof, the 

 new forts will propagate freely by the ofF-fets 

 of the root, and all the ofF-fets and their 

 progeny will continue to produce flowers con- 

 flantly the fame in every particular as thofe 

 of their refpedlive parent variety, and encreafe 

 annually to a large flock of each fort. 



That in the propagation of bulbous and 

 tuberous roots by the ofF-fets, if your flock is 

 encreafed more than is neceffary in your own 

 garden, they may be difpofed of to the feeds- 

 man either for money, or in exchange for 

 other varieties, or any kind of garden feeds, &c.

Several forts of bulbous and tuberous rcots 

 may be blowed in root watcr-glafles, and in
