table monjiers analogous to animal mules. The fiamen^ fiftily and calyXy are the 

 moji unchangeable parts. Double flowers difltnguijhed by the calyx^ are much 

 more durable than Jingle ones. Double poppies yield more opium. Annual inJe^lSm 



2. 



The colours of Jingle flowers from feed how varied. Variegation of foliage. 

 Vegetable juices are hyper- oxygenated. This fluid oxygen is converted into gas by 

 thefun^s light ; which therefore colours living vegetables y and bleaches dead ones. 

 IL I. Flowers from buds. Double ones how caufed. Surround the bud with 

 water. Oily and conferve of rofes. Their double flowers. Acquired habits. 

 2. How to vary the colour of fingle Jhrub flower Sy by anther-dufly by inocula^ 



Trees how variegated by ingraftmenty or made into evergreens. 3. How

to increafe the number of flowers. III. i. Flowers from roots. Bulb-rooted 

 flowers. To caufe their duplicaturCy break off the flowery raife them out of the

 broken into colours. Plant them in different foils. Tulips break into colours from 



Perennial branching roots. Duplicature of their flowers, propa-
