The Flowers-are innumerable, very large, and,

Tops of the Branches. Each Flower has its fmall’ 
Cup, form’d of five little oval; Leaves, united at 
their Bafes; and is itfelf compos’d of a like Num: 
ber of Petals: thefe are oblong, expanded, and.

Filaments, tip’d with geldem Buttons; and in, 
their Centre three Styles. The Seed-veftél which |

many. Seeds.

to pay Regard ; neglecting the Inftructions given [ 
in common Books, the F ancies of their Authors, : 
cient Moitture. 
or of thofe whence they tranfcrib’d them. 
This, tho’ a Native of a warmer Climate than — 
our own, will endure our Winters in the open | 
Air; but let the Gardener fo far confider its Place 
of Growth, as not to put it into the open Ground | 
at Random; but felect for it a warm and well — 
~ defended Part of the Garden. 
There let him 
open as many Holes as he intends to have Plants ; 
and taking away the common Mould, fill up with 
this Compott.

The Holes being fill?d with this Pees the 
Shrub. may be either rais’d- in them: by Seed, or 
| remov’d into them from the Nurfery, where it has 
| grown from Cuttings; for thefe will fucceed with 
_ the common Care if planted in Spring: but nei 
_ ther of thefe Methods is. fo eafy or fuccetsful’ as 
| the planting Suckers. 
Thefe are produc’d in Abundance from the 
| Shrub, where it has ftood any ‘Fime in a thriving 
_ Condition: and’ the Seafon for taking: them off 
is the firft Week in April. 
~ They may either be planted i in the’ Nur pans to 
take their firft Growth, or at once where they are 
to remain. “The firtt 3 is the commen Prattice Pe 
but the latter j is much the better Method. 
~ They have nothing unpleafing in. their. Afpegs 
while young ;_ and ier will. always. grow. up in 
after the taking Mia from the Rent of the old 
Plant. | 
Upon: thefe Principles. let the Gapied all up 
ae Holes with the Compoft, in the firtt Week af 
him, in. the Evening, carefully take off as many 
Suckers as he wants, “planting one in each Hole.: 
Let him give theny:a gentle Watering ; thrutt 
downa fhort Stick near each, and tye ne Sucker 
to it with fome Bafs: then every Evening let him - 
water them all gently till | they are well rooted. They 
will take freely to the new Ground; and thus the 
‘Foundation will be laid for fo many handfome 
Shrubs. q 
At the fame Time that that are planted i into the 
open Ground, let a few be put into Pots of the 
fame Compott. Thefe are intended for the Green- 
houfe ; where, by taking off the Flowers as foon 
as they fade, there will be a Succeffion _much_ 
longer than in the open Air, 
As thefe Suckers crow up into Trees, the Gar- 
dener mutt take Care to keep them in good Form; 
and every Year look over them, ae his Knife 
in his Hand, to cut away fuch Branches as grow 
irregularly or crofs one another, and to thorten 
thofe which are too luxuriant. 
The Suckers mutt be alfo clear’d annually from 
the Root, whether they be wanted for planting 
or not, becaufe they weaken the Shrub; and the. 
Ground at Times mutt be dug round about the 
Stem, and always kept clear from Weeds. Thus — 
it will flower as freely as in its native Country.
