of a perfect Peach-colour, and above and beneath it a white circle, 
which addecth much to the beauty of the Aower, in the midft where- 
of rifeth an Umbrane, which parterh it felfinto four or five crooked 
{potted horns ; from the midft of thefe rifech another roundifh head, 
which carries three nails or horns, biggeft above and fimalleft at the 
lower end: never with usis this flower fucceeded by any fruit, but 
in the Weft Indies (itsnatural Countrey) it bearetha fruit like unto 
a Pomegranate, from whence called there Granadilla, containing a 
whitifh pulp, and many cornered rough black feeds, of the bignefs 
of Pear-kernels: the roots are long, fomewhat thicker than thofe 
of Sar{a Parilla, which run far in the earth , and put up heads in feve- 
ral places, 
The Fa/mines bring forth their flowers from, Fudy untill the 
middle of Anga/?, the firft white, and the common yel low are har+ 
dy, and will endure our cold Winters, and increafe faft enough by 
Suckers, but the zwdian yellow is tender, and not fo eafily raifed ; 
this and the Spanifh, both forts muft be planted in Pots, Tubs, or 
Boxes, that they may be houfed in Winter: with us they are ufually 
encreafed (efpecially the Spanifh kinds) by grafting them lace in the 
Spring the yh upon the ftock of the common white Faf- 
mine, theother Indian -afmine flowereth about Augu/f, and will 
endure the Winter ifit be defended in its nonage, but older Plants 
are hardy enough, and may be encreafed by Layers ; thofe which 
have I raifed from feeds which came from Virginia, 
The double Wood-bind flowerethin May, and thered in the end of 
Fune: thereis nothing more eafily increafed, for every branch-of 
either of them will take root if it but rouchthe ground, much more 
ifit belaid artificially therein: the chiefufe ot thefe and the com- 
sae white Fafmine, is to cover Arbours, or adorn the walls of 
oufes, | 
Clematis ot Virgins-bower, ‘the feveral kinds thereof will be in . 
flower moft part of Fwly and Anguft, they grow well, with us, and 
endure long, eafily increafed by laying the branches: thefe are com- 
monly ufed to cover Arbours, for which parpofethey fitly ferves 
but many‘of the young and {mall branches are apt to die in Winter, 
which muft be pruned in March, and the nearer they are cut,the fairer 
the flowers will be itt Somer following, 
The Maracoc bringeth forth his beautiful flowers in Avgu/?, and 
is more tender than the other; the ftalks die to the ground every 
Winter, and {pring again from the roots in May, which mutt be co- 
vered and defended from extreme hard frofts in Winter, the roots 
run far, and come up in divers places, whereby it may be much in- 
creafed: weufually plant them in large Pots, in the richeft Earth 
we Can get, which will ftop the running of the roots, be conveni- 
ently removed intoa houfe in Winter, and into the Sun in Somer 5
