We have ina preceding Number figured the great ; purple, with more red; fome pale, and many 
crimfon Stock, and have there given the general 
Culture of the Plant, and the Method of enlarging, | 
_ doubling, and perfecting its Flowers; as alfo of | Gardens the Variation in the fingle Flower is 
keeping them in Perfection; in this and the fuc- | 
ceeding Chapter,..we fhall treat of the common 
fweet violet Stock, and its double,. painted Off- 
{pring, the common variegated Kind.

The Leaves are oblong, and undivided, fe tyes oF

little green. 
The Flowers terminate all the Branches, in 
great Numbers difpofed in long, loofe Spikes : 
they are laree, fweet fcented, and in Colour of a 
violet purple: but in this there is great Varia- 
tion, even in the wild State of the Plant. 
We fee upon the Shores the Flowers of fome 
Plants of this Kind of the true violet Hue others 
perfectly white. Loxxzr was juftified therefore in 
calling it indeterminately, white and purple. In 
much more, and when we come to the double 
ones it is without Limitation. 
The Cup of the Flower is form’d of four little 
Leaves, ahd is of a comprefled Form; two of 
the Leaves are prominent at the Bafe, the others 
plain. 4 | | 
The Flower is compofed of four expanded Pe-

_ The Plant being in its Original the fame with 
the preceding, no Names of Authors need be 
brought to fhew what it is, nor any Defcription 
given at large; ‘the Parts being the fame, though 
render'd more bold and gorgeous by Culture. 
From a fibrous Root, as in the former, rifes 
| es hefe are compofed of numerous Petals, which 
are oblong, irregular, waved at the Edges, 
placed in feveral Series, and ftained with dif- 
ferent Colours, red, white, and ereen, in Lines 
and Blotches. 
The Characters are the fame as in the fingle 
a woody Stem, which at a Foot and half above | Kind, but the Parts on which they depend are 
the Ground, fends out many Branches cover’d 
with greyifh oblong Leaves, and terminated by 
often obliterated, or obf{cured, as in other double 
Flowers. The Culture we have siven in a pre-
