foil, and fun. The Jingle white lilies are verv fweet i. 

 but the doubles are inodorous, as is the cafe with fome 

 other flowers, the fragrance arifing from the Jlamina and 

 anthers, which are often fmothered by numerous petals.* 

 The Atamajcoi Gucr/ifcy, belladonna, and pancratium 

 lilies, are tender, and mould have a warm, or a good 

 auricula foil, a full funny border, and well fheitered 

 fituation ; protect alfo from much wet in cold ieafons, 

 and afford fecurity from fro ft. Thefe are very elegant 

 and noble Bowers, and the Guernfey lily is equal to, if 

 not beyond, any plant in the flowery creation : This 

 is, however, thfetendereft of the four: then the bclla- 

 donna , and pancratium lily, ox feci daffodil ; the atama/co 

 is the har.iieft. All of them are ufually potted for re- 

 moving into fheher ; but they may be managed (fee 

 alkuca) fo as to do abroad, except in the more northern 

 and bleak parts of this ifland : They blow much the 

 finer in open ground, (all things going on well) the 

 roots having a free fcope to draw nourishment, &c. 



Orchis is rather difficult of culture : It likes a dry 

 barren foil, and the roots mould betaken up (from the 

 places it grows wild) jujl as the leaves decay after 

 flowering ; and with a ball of earth about them, as 

 then the chance of fucceeding is much greater. Upon 

 removal, let them be planted directly, and remain in 

 their places for years. 



Paony t the {ingle kinds are fhowy, but the doubles 

 are nobly ornamental. Let this flower have room, 

 as it will fpread (when in full fized bunches) a yard 

 round : and let it be planted out of the way of the full 

 fun, and of much wind, that the flowers may continue. 

 It need not be removed for many years, and will grow 

 in any foil and fituation, even among trees, which 

 adapts it for fnrubberies, &c. The forts are divided 

 into male and female; and the former, having loft its 

 flower, produces pods, containing rich crimfon grains, 

 interfperfed with black berries, that look very pretty 

 when burft ; and may be gathered as foon, or rather
