p The Seed-veffel, when ripened, is of an oval | mon Earth of the Borders. Sept. 
Form, with two Beaks, and contains numerous 
minute Seeds. 
Culture of this SaXIFRAGE, 
The Plant is a Native of the colder Parts of 
Europe, and will ftand any Weather in an open | 
Border. It naturally lives where there is a poor 
Soil and fome Moifture, on the rocky Bottoms of 
Hills, and about the Heads of Springs. 
The Seeds ripen freely, and from them the 
Plant is to be propagated with great Eafe. A 
_ Spot is to be chofen in fome fhaded Part of the 
- Garden, and frefh Pafture Mould is to be put into 
the Place with a very flight Covering of the com- 
GARDENING. 
On this the Seeds are to be fown in the Begin- 
ning of Auguft, and the Plants are to remain there, 
only thinning them, and keeping the Spot clear . 
from Weeds. They will by Degrees increafe in 
Bignefs, till from every Root there will be a rifing 
.Tuft of a Foot Diameter, covered at the Seaton 
with innumerable Flowers on Branches, fome up- 
right, fome leaning, and fome lying in a very 
plain Manner upon the Tutt. 
Thefe fmall Plants deferye more Regard than ig 
ufually fhewn them in Gardens: few have a juft 
Idea of the Advantages of Variety; and befide 
that Benefit, there is a Look of Wildnefs and free 
Nature given by thefe, which never fails of 
pleafing.

‘Thefe are three, 1. The Pleafure Garden. with

be a Seminary for raifing thefe, and retaining 
them till they are in a Condition to flower.
