T He yellow Snap-Dragon is inall things like che comthon white, anid 
onely differing in that the flowers are of a fair yellow colour, 
They flower from May to Fxly, and the feeds are ripe in Augu ft; 
All thefe kinds of S#ap-Dragous are raifed from feeds, and bear 
flowers the fecond year from the fowing, and then, commonly the old 
roots having perfected their feeds perith, yet the flips of them being 
taken oft and jet in the manner directed for double (tock=Giliflowers, 
will grow and bear flowers the year following ; the beft flips for this 
purpofe are thofe that do not rifeup to flower, and the beft timeto 
fet them, the end of May or beginning of Fune, I have now feveral 
Plants of the variegated white and beft red, raifed from flips,arid have 
thereby preferved the kinds many years; without fowing their feeds,
