The firft Sort is a very hardy 

 Plant, and increafes very faft from 

 OfT-fets. The Seafon for transplant- 

 ing thefe Roots is any time from 

 May to July, after which it will 

 be too late to remove them ; for 

 they will begin to pulh out new 

 Fibres by the Middle of that Month, 

 if the Seafon be moift ; and many 

 times they flower in Augujl ; fo that 

 if they are then tranfplanted, it will 

 fpoil their flowering. This Plant 

 will grow in any Soil or Situation ; 

 but it will thrive belt in a frelh light 

 dry Soil, and in an open Situation; 

 /. e. not under the Dripping of 

 Trees, nor roo near to Walls. It 

 is commonly called, by the Gar- 

 deners, the yellow Autumnal Nar- 

 ciiTus, cjf>. and is ufually fold by 

 them with Colchicum?, for autum- 



nal Ornaments to Gardens ; for 

 which Purpofe this is a pretty Plant, 

 as it will frequently keep flowering 

 from the Middle of September to 

 the Middle of November, provided 

 the Froft is not fo fevere as to de- 

 ftroy the Flowers: for altho 1 there 

 is but one Flower in each Cover, 

 yet there is a Succeflion of Flowers 

 from the fame Root, efpecialiy when 

 they are fuffered to remain three or 

 four Years unremoved. The Flowers 

 feldom rife above three or four 

 Inches high ; fo are proper Orna- 

 ments for fuch Borders as are plant- 

 ed with Cyclamens, Saffron, Col- 

 chicums, and fuch low autumnal 

 Flowers. 



The tenth Sort is more rare in 

 England than any of the other ; but 

 it is as hardy as the firft Sort, and 

 may be planted in the open Borders, 

 and treated in the fame manner as 

 the firft, excepting that this will not 

 lofe its Leaves fo foon ; fo mould 

 not be taken out of the Ground to 

 tranfplant, till the End of July, or 

 Beginning of Augujl. This Sort 

 flowers in April, or the Beginning 

 of May; but is not of long Du- 

 ration. 



The fecond Sort is a Native of 

 Virginia and Carolina, in which 

 Countries it grows very plentifully 

 in the Fields and Woods, where it 

 makes a beautiful Appearance when 

 it is in Flower, which is in the 

 Spring The Flowers of this Sort 

 are produced fingle, and at their firft 

 Appearance have a fine Carnation- 

 colour on their Outfide ; but this 

 fades away to a pale, or almoft 

 white, before the Flowers decay. 

 This Plant is fo hardy, as to thrive 

 in the open Air in England, pro- 

 vided the Roots are phinted in a 

 warm Situation, and on a dry Soil : 

 it may be propagated by Ofr-fets 

 from the Roots, which they put out 



pretty
