near them. The fmell of thofe commonly fown is 

 unpleafant; yet there are fvveet-fcented forts. 



Marvel of Peru is confidered as an annual, yet is na- 

 turally perennial in root — as our climate makes it an- 

 n ual . It the roots of thofe growing abroad are taken up in 

 richer, and dried a few days, they may be packed in 

 dry fand,. and kept in a dry place (from froft) till 

 fpring ; when potted and placed on a gentle heat, they 

 will ihoot, and come forward. 



Pabna Ckrijli, the large leaved (often a foot broad) 

 will grow from feven to ten feet high, according to 

 culture,, as early fown, &c. As it is valued for its 

 noble ftature, and ample felLge, fome gardeners bring 

 it forward as a tender annual, in order to pioduce a 

 giant \ but it is not advifeable. The fmall leaved, grows 

 to about four feet high, and is an agreeable plant in the 

 leaf, in other refpects than fize. 



Najlurtiu?n is impatient of froft; hence it has been 

 confidered in this clafs^ to have it flower early. Late 

 fown plants,, if potted and houfed, #81 blow in winter,, 

 and live round to fpring. Cuttings ot it will grow. 

 The dwarf fort is preterred by fome for flower borders, 

 but is not fo floriferous as the large. There is a. double 

 kind, fee page 254. 



Stock, ten week, (beautiful and fragrant) is the mod 

 important annual flower we have. Every one admires 

 k, and its ab fence is always felt. It therefore merits 

 every attention, to raife fine- double flowers, to have 

 them early, a continued fuccef II on,, and as late in the 

 jfeafon aspoffibiev 



There mould be four {bwinr^ of this flower in the 

 year. Let the firjl be early m the fpring, (as 

 February, or beginning of March J on a gentle heat:: 

 and being foon thinned a little, they fhould be pricked 

 out in. about a fortnight upon another moderate hotbed., 

 at four inches afunder,. where they may grow till this 

 diffance is thought too crowding; but the beft rule is, 

 to give them their final ftatlon. as foon as they have ac- 

 quired fix or eight teaves. J *
