In the wild State this Plant thrives beft where 
there is moderate Shade and Moifture, and a 
light deep Soil. In the Garden therefore the 
proper Place for it will be under a Hedge, or in

HIS Week fhould be got into the open 
Ground the Remainder of the Annuals raifed 
in hot Beds for the Autumnal Flowering. — 
Let the Holes be opened large enough and 
— deep: let the whole Ball of Earth be fhaken wh: of 
the Pot, and the Fibres trimm/’d off all round: 
let the Ball with the Plant be fet upright, and 
the Mould put in carefully about it: then a good 
‘Watering given, and a Stick thruft in to tie up 
the Stalk : the double Balfams not removed be- 
fore, muft be thus managed, and the Amaranths, 
Love-Apples, Capfcium, and Palma Chrifti. 
The beft Opportunity for doing this is the 
cloudy Evening of a mild Day: if the Plants 
flag the next Day, they muft be fhaded from the | 
Mon Sun, and watered conftantly in the Even- 
ings till well rooted. According to the Seafon 
this will require fometimes to be done fooner, 
fometimes later: but when the Weather is fettled 
in warm is the true Time. | : 
After this, they muft be kept free from il 
Weeds, and watered during the whole Period of 
their Growth, as they rece’ i? 
Let the Gardener now look over thofe Plants 
of the Anemone, and other Kinds which he had 
marked for Seed : 
the Surface of the Beds all about them ; and every 
two or three Days allow a moderate Watering, }- 
unlefs the Seafon be fhowry. As foon as he per- 
ceives the Seeds of any of them attain their due 
- Bignefs, let him ceafe Watering, and tie up the 
Stalk, clofe under the Head, with Care to a firm 
Stick, to prevent the Effects of the Wind in fhak- 
ing the Stalk, and blowing off the Seeds, 
This is a very good Time for propagating the 
common Green-houfe Plants by Cuttings; and let 
it be done in this Manner: fill fome Pots with 
light and rich Mould from any of the Compotts 
of that Kind; or from a rich and well managed 
Border in the Garden; and if the Myrtle be the 
Kind intended to be propagated, chufe a Parcel 
of good Shoots from the Shrubs; they muft be 
— feven Inches long, or thereabouts, and fue fhould 
ee ee | 
once in a Week let him break > 
|.a Foot deep; and Seeds fcattered over it in Au- 
tumn, faved from a wild Plant. 
They will require little Care, but muft be 
weeded at Times and water’d. 
Among the Plants there will be found fomé 
with more than fix Petals in the’ Flower, thefe 
muft be marked for Seed; and that being fown | 
in the fame Manner, will naturally afford fome 
perfeétly double Flowers, 
-Thefe muft afterwards be propagated by part- 
ing their Roots, for they ripen no Seed them- 
felves.

be fuch as are robuft; not tender ones drawn by 
too much Shelter. 
Take off the Leaves at the Bottom three Fingers 
breadth high, and twift the Stalk in that Part 
carefully: then open fome fmall Holes in the 
| Mould, and plant the Cuttings; feveral in each 
they muft be fet in as deep as they have 
been ftripp’d, and the Mould gathered carefully 
Pot: 
about them: they fhould ftand two Inches and a 
half apart, and the Mould muft be fettled Py § a 
careful Watering. | 
Then {et the Pots under a Hot- bed ‘Frame, and 
lay between them, and about them, fome old 
Tan. 
Shade the Glaffes with hes from Eleven to 
Four every Afternoon, except in cloudy Weather ; 
and as the Mould dries in the Pots, keep it 
gently moiften’d : once in three Days is ufually 
enough ; but there can be no exact Rule. The 
; only Way to judge when they want it is, to exa- 
mine the Condition of the Mould at the Edges 
of the Pot. 
_ At Noon every Day the Glaffes mutt be raifed, 
and Air given to the Plants; and this muft be 
encreafed as they root better, and get more 
Strength. 
‘About the Middle of ¥u/y the Cuttings will be 3 
well rooted, and they will fhew this by ieanoia 
to fhoot. 
There muft be from this Time more and 
more Air allowed them till perfectly inured to 
it, and in five Weeks more, that is toward the 
End of Auguft, they muft be fet out in the open 
Air with the Green-houfe Plants. 
Thus they may ftand till the firft Week in 
OGober ; and they mutt then be houfed with the 
reft. 
From Time to Time they muft be watered ; 
and they muft be carefully kept clear from Weeds 
and from decay’d Leaves all Winter. 
In the Beginning of the following April they 
muft: be planted out ae and kept in a
