good (and there is no want of 

 Dung or Conveniencies), in a kind- 

 ly Seafon they will grow much 

 larger. 



In the Beginning of September the 

 Amaranths will have perfected their 

 Seeds, fo that you mult make choice 

 cf the largeft, moil beautiful, and 

 leaft-branching Plants of each Kind 

 for Seed ; which you mould remove 

 under Shelter (efpecialiy if the Wea- 

 ther proves wet, or the N ights frolty ), 

 that the Seeds may be maturely 

 jipen'd ; and in the Choice thereof, - 

 fce fure never to take any Seeds from 

 Side-branches, nor from the Neck 

 of the Plume, but fuch only as are 

 produced in the Middle thereof, 

 which in many Flants, perhaps, may 

 be but a fmall Quantity ; but I 00 

 affure you, they are thofe only you 

 can depend upon to have yourKmds 

 good the fucceeding Year. 



The Amaranthus tricolor and bl- 

 color muft be kept longer under the 

 Frames than the CockVcombc ; and 

 in order to have them very beauti- 

 ful, it will be proper to make a frefh 

 Hot-bed in a Glafs-cafe ; or, where 

 fuch a Conveniency is wanting, to 

 ereft fome of the Lights which were 

 placed over Cucumbers, round an 

 Hot-bed, and cover thofe with the 

 fame Lights on the Top, fo as to re- 

 femble a Glafs ftove. On this Hot- 

 bed you mould place your Ama- 

 ranths, at fuch a Diftance from each 

 other, as to allow them room to 

 fpreacl ; obferving to refrefh them 

 often with Water, and in warmWea- 

 ther let them have plenty of frefh 

 Air. With this Management, the 

 Plants may be raiftd five or fix Feet 

 high, and their Leaves will come to 

 the molt beautiful Colours; after 

 which they may be expofed to the 

 open Air, and removed to adorn the 

 feveral Parts of ihe Garden.
