The fecond and third Sorts are at 

 prefent more rare in the Englijh Gar- 

 dens, tho' they are equally hardy 

 with the other Sort ; and may be 

 planted for Under fhrubs, in Quar- 

 ters of low-growing Trees, where, 

 by the Diverfity of their Leaves, 

 they will afford an agreeable Va- 

 riety. 



The fourth and fifth Sorts grow 

 . commonly in Germany, Italy, and 

 Narbonne> by Way fides, and in bar- 

 ren Places i and are alfo found in 

 Englandby the Way-fide from Neiv- 

 ?narket to Lynn, near a Village called 

 Elden. Thefe feem to be but Va- 

 rieties from each other, and only 

 differ in the Colour of their Stalks. 

 They are feldom preferved in Gar- 

 dens, unlefs it be for Variety, by 

 ibme Botanifts. Whoever is defi- 

 rous to have thefe Plants, may ea- 

 h\y obtain them from the Places of 

 their Growth, either the Plants, or 

 the Seeds ; -but the Seeds mould be 

 fown foon after they are ripe ; for 

 they, being very light, will lofe 

 their growing Quality, if they are 

 kept long out of the Ground. Thefe 

 Plants feldom continue above three 

 or four Years, when tranfplanted 

 into Gardens, fo that new ones 

 fhould be raifed from Seed to fuc- 

 ceed them. 



The fixth Sort is not fo hardy as 

 any of the former; for, being a Na- 

 tive of warm Countries, it requires 

 to be flickered from the Froft in 

 Winter. This may be propagated 

 as the former ; but mould be kept 

 in Pots, that they may be placed 

 under a Frame in Winter, where 

 they fhould have as much free Air 

 as poffiblc in mild Weather , but in 

 hard Frofts may be covered with 

 GlafTes and Mats to fee u re them. 



T}ie feventh Sort fiiould be treated 

 to the fame manner as the fourth 

 or fcfth Sorts, and is equally hardy. 



Thefe will continue much longer on 

 a dry barren Soil, than when they 

 are planted in a rich Garden Earth. 



The eighth, ninth, tenth, and 

 fourteenth Sorts may be propagated 

 by Seeds, or from Slips and Cut- 

 tings : if from Seeds, they Ihould 

 be fown on a warm Border of dry 

 Earth early in the Spring ; and 

 when the Plants are come up, they 

 muft be conftantly kept clear from 

 Weeds. When the Plants are about 

 four Inches high, fome of them may 

 be planted into Pots, that they may 

 be removed under Shelter in the 

 Winter ; and the others may be 

 tranfplanted into a warm Border, 

 obferving to lhade and water them 

 until they have taken new Root. 

 Thefe Plants are fometimes deihoy- 

 ed by fevere Froft, while they are 

 young ; but afterwards they will 

 endure the Cold of our ordinary 

 Winters extremely well, efpecially 

 if they are planted on a dry lean 

 Soil. If you propagate thefe by 

 Slips or Cuttings, they muft be treat- 

 ed in the fame manner as hath been 

 directed for the common Sort. 



The eleventh and twelfth Sorts 

 are tenderer than any of the before- 

 mention'd. Thefe may be propaga- 

 ted either by Seeds, or from Slips, 

 as the former : but they muft be 

 kept in Pots, and require a good 

 Green-houfe in Winter, where they 

 mould be placed to enjoy as much 

 free Air as poifible in mild Wea- 

 ther. 



The thirteenth Sort is an annual 

 Plant, which rarely produces good 

 Seeds in this Country. The fureft 

 Method to obtain good Seeds is, to 

 raife the Plants towards the latter 

 Part of Summer, and prefers them 

 through the Win:er, which will 

 caufe them to flower early the fol- 

 lowing Summer, fo that the/ will 

 h;ive time to peilett their Seeds;
