may be planted in the borders, in June and July, and 

 will flower the fame feafon. 



Goafs Beard, the young {hoots are eat (as thofe of 

 fnlfafy) like afparagus at fpring. 



Prifnrofe tree, makes a pretty Chow, but produces fb 

 much feed, that it becomes rather a troublefome weed 

 to fome people. Cut the flower Hems off, or pull up 

 the plant, before the feed pods are ripe enough to ihed 

 their numerous contents. 



Rudbeckia, or American fun-flower, this biennial 

 fort is called hardy, but {hould neverthelefs have a dry 

 lheltered (ituation. The narrow leaved dw r arf perennial 

 {about three feet) fometimes proves biennial, and may 

 be fown as fuch, a little every year, by thofe who 

 would extend their culture of flowers. 



Scabious has been noticed in the two lad lifts as an 

 annual, which it becomes, if fown early ; and fome 

 gardeners make a point of doing it on a little heat to 

 forward them. As a biennial, it fhould not be fown 

 too foon ; but if forward plants are tranfplanted in 

 June, it will prevent their flowering till next year, 

 when they will come very fine and flrong, and this is 

 the way to produce good feed; 



Sena, bladder, or Ethiopian fear let cohttea, is rather 

 tender, and the feed ling plants mult be potted and 

 houfed, or lheltered by a frame from (harp trolls. 

 This flower is properly a perennial, (fee hit IV.) but 

 as it is apt to be cut off in fevere weather, it is here 

 confidered as biennial, and may take its chance after 

 the firft flowering. It is fometimes made an annual of* 

 See colutea, lift VII. 



Snap dragon we confider as biennial, it not blowing 

 fo haudfome afterwards. The variegated (as all ftripes 

 are) is tenderiih ; this muft be propagated from mt± 

 -tings, as indeed the phnn mav be, though the fineit 

 plants come from feed. This flower is of longeft con- 

 tinuance in a poor foil, and will grow and flounfh out 

 ot cracks in old walls*
