j'ther will continue four or five 

 if ears, if the Winters are not very 

 evere, and the Plants grow upon 

 i dry lean Soil ; for when they are 

 planted upon good moift Ground, 

 :hey (hoot very luxuriant, and be- 

 :ome fo replete with Sap, as to be 

 injured by the firft Frofts in Au- 

 :umn. 



The eighth Sort grows wild upon 

 theSea-coaft in feveral Parts of Eng- 

 land, from whence their Seeds may 

 be obtained. 



The ninth Sort gr ws taller than 

 the eighth, and generally is formed 

 into a more regular pyramidal Mead; 

 the Flowers are alfo of a deeper Co- 

 lour, in which they differ from the 

 zommon Sort,and are fomewhat ten- 

 derer. 



Thefe two Sorts thrive better if 

 :hey are fown where they are to re- 

 gain-, than if they are cranfplanted ; 

 pr, if they are removed, it mould be 

 pone while the Plants are young, 

 ttherwife they generally mifcarry. 

 The fecond Year after (owing, thefe 

 :ome to flower ; and after they h:\ve 

 eeded, they feldom furvive the fol- 

 owing Winter : but the firft, fecond, 

 .nd fourth Sorts may be intermixed 

 vith other Shrubs, where they will 

 tand four or five Years, and by their 

 ontinuing long in Flower, make a 

 ine Variety. 



The third Sort feldom riles above 

 bur or five Feet high, and the Stems 

 eldom become very woody : but 

 his will live in the open Air in Win- 

 er, provided it is planted in a warm 

 dtuation, and upon a dry Soil. The 

 •lowers of this Kind are of a paler 

 Colour than the other, refembling 

 lofe of the common Marfh- mallow, 

 ut are fomewhat larger ; the Leaves 

 re very {"oft, hoary, and waved on 

 3 leir Edges 3 which makes a pretty 



'/ariety.

The fifth Sort dies to the Ground 

 every Winter, and (hoots up in Sum- 

 mer to the Height of fix or feven 

 Feet : this produces Flowers from 

 the Beginning of July to September^ 

 for which it may have a Place ia 

 good Gardens. 



Thefe Plants are all eafily raifed 

 from Seeds, which mult be fown in, 

 March, in a light dry Soil ; and in 

 two Months they will be fit to tranf- 

 plant into the Places where they are 

 to remain for good, or put into Pots* 

 that when they are removM, the 

 Earth may berturn'd out of the Pots 

 without difturbing the Roots (for 

 thefe Shrubs will not bear a Remove, 

 when grown to any confiderable Sta- 

 ture) ; the Roots being for the moft 

 part compo^'d of llrong woody Parts, 

 and have very few fmail Fibres, fo» 

 that the Earth is fubjecl to fall in- 

 tirely off upon removing them; and 

 if it fo happen to grown Plant?, the/ 

 rarely are made to grow after- 

 wards. 



The fecond Year thefe Shrubs be- 

 gin to flower, and one fingle Plant 

 ( if fufferM to feed ) will produce 

 enough to raifemany hundredPlants. 

 They are impatient of Wet in Win- 

 ter ; therefore lhould be planted in 

 a dry, rubbifhy, or fandy Soil, 

 where they will (land much better 

 than in a th ong rich Earth ; but they 

 are feldom longer- Iiv'd than five or 

 fix Years with us efpecially if fuf- 

 fer'd to flower and feed plentifully 

 every Year : therefore the beft Way 

 to preferve them is, to cut off the 

 extreme Parts of the Branches in 

 July, that they may make fre(h 

 Shoots before Winter : this will alfo 

 make their Heads more regular, 

 than if they were fufFer'd to grow 

 rude. 



They may be alfo raifed by plant- 

 ing Cuttings in May, in a light Soil,
