Sept. 
After the Flowers appears‘ a flat Pod ‘ribbed: 
——_— crofs- wile. 
: 
’ The Flower in this Speciés need not be sted 
to find the Number of the Filaments ; for they 
ftand out to a vaft Length, and are extremely 
confpicuous. © 
are fet in a crooked or ftooping Pofture. 
The Student has not yet in the Courfe of 
thefe Enquiries met with a Plant that had this 
Number of Filaments ; but he will not be at a 
Lofs to what Part of the Linn aan Syftem to 
refer this Genus. 
The Filaments are eaact and regular j in their 
Growth... 
This is the firft Conhdeedtion ; and this fhews 
him that hé is to determine the Clafs from their 
Number. 
Linn aus has arranged together thofe Plants; — 
which have ‘in every Flower ten Threads, into 
his tenth Clafs. This is one of ‘them. 
‘He calls this Clafs Decandria: a Term Eutied | 
ike his other of two Greek Words, and figni-— 
‘fying Plants that have in‘each Flower ten male — 
_ Parts. | | 
The be exe rifes fingle in the Middle of 'thefe. 
“Threads, and that determines the Plant to .be | 
mt the firft Section, thatis, the. reine dial 
‘Culture of the Porncrana. 
- Let good Seeds be obtained from Barbadoes, 
or any other of the warmer American Iflands, | 
for it is common in all; and let thefe early 
in Spring be fown half an-Inch deep upon a. 
“moderate hot Bed, covered five Inches deep with | | 
rich Mould. 
‘Prepate a Mixture of equal Parts of Mouta 
and rotted Wood, and add about an: eighth 
“Part of fifted Coal Afhes:

“When the Plants are rifen to a little: Strenath, | 
fill -half'a dozen’ Pots of a middling Size three | 
Parts with this Mixture: open a fmalk Hole ‘in|

From this Time they muft be carefully

Time. 
When they have grown to a good Strength 
and Height, as many Pots of a latmer Size mutt 
be filled with the fame mixed Soil as the orft, ; 
and they mutt be carefully removed into thefe. 
The Method is to put only a little of the 
Soil firft into each large Pot; then to take out

> The Management of the Garden.and Stove for the Midddle of September. 
Hi E Seafon of tranfplanting is now come 
for the Flower-Garden, in all its Products 
; of. the Perennial. or of the ‘Biennial Kinds not 
removed. before. 
We direéted the Gardener to prepare a Bor- | 
ders laft Week, by a. careful digging; and. they 
' have now lain to receive the double Advantage 
of sAin, Sun and Rains and of a regular fettling. 
The! Air. and. Sun have calcined: the -broken 
Clods thrown up from below; and. the Dews 
have impregnated the whole with Vigour ; this 
fhort Fallow has ferved to.recruit the Ground, 
and the Plants may be removed hither from the
