 broad Pods a little crocked. 



1'he firft and third of thefe Spe- 

 cies are Annuals with us : the Seeds 

 of thefe mull be fown on an Hot-bed 

 in the Spring of the Year ; and 

 when the Plants are come up two 

 Inches high, they fhould be tranf- 

 planted into fmall Pots filled with 

 good frefh Earth, and the Pots 

 plunged into an Hot-bed of Tanners 

 Bark ; and when the Plants have 

 obtained fome Strength, they mult 

 have a great deal of free Air, by 

 rattfhg the Glaffes in the Day time ; 

 and in June they may be expoied to 

 the open Air, by which time they 

 will produce their Flowers, which 

 will be fucceeded by Pods in a very 

 fhort time after; and in Augujl their 

 Seeds will be perfected. 



The fecond Sort grows to the 

 Height of five or fix Feet, and will 

 abide two or three Years, if it is 

 preferved in a very warm Stove in 

 Winter : this produces Spikes of 

 Flowers from the Wings of the 

 Leaves on the Sides of" the Stems 

 of the Plant, and doth fometimes 

 perfect its Seeds in England. This 

 muft be raiic-d in an Hot bed, as 

 W3s directed for the two former ; 

 but muft not be expofed to the open 

 Air, even in the hotteit Weather. 



The firft and third Sorts are fup- 

 pofed to be promifcuoully ufed to 

 make thelr.digo; but the fir ft is 

 the common Sort, which is cultivated 

 in the Englijb Plantations in America : 

 but I have been allured by a Perfcn 

 of great Credit, that he has made 



as good Indigo from the fecond Sort, 

 as any that was produced in our 

 Plantations ; and this being a much 

 larger Plant, will afford a greater 

 Quantity from the fame Compafs of 

 Ground, than any one of the other 

 two Species ; and this Sort is alfo 

 much hardier, and may be cultivated 

 in fuch Places where the firft Sort 

 wi 1 not grow ; by which means 

 great Improvements may be made 

 with this Plant in our American Plan- 

 tations. The French chiefly culti- 

 vate this Sort.
