will produce a greater Number of 

 Flowers. 



The eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, 

 and fourteenth Sorts are abiding 

 Plants ; which may be propagated 

 by fovving of their Seeds in the fame 

 manner as hath been directed for 

 the tenth ; and the young Plants 

 fhould alio be treated the firft Year, 

 as was directed for that Sort. The 

 following Spring you muft plant out 

 the twelfth and thirteenth Sorts into 

 the full Ground, where they will 

 thrive much better than if kept in 

 Pots ; and being both very hardy, 

 they will endure the fevereft Cold 

 of our Climate without Shelter. 

 Thefe produce their Flowers in April 

 and May; and in good Scafons, will 

 fometimes perfect their Seeds in Fug- 

 land. 



The eleventh and fourteenth Sorts 

 become fhrubby ; thefe are more 

 tenier than the former Sorts ; fo 

 that fome of thefe Plants Ihould be 

 kept in Pots, that they may be 

 fheltered from the Froft in Winter ; 

 and the others may be planted in a 

 warm Border, where they will en- 

 dure the Cold of our ordinary Win- 

 ters very well ; but in very fharp 

 Winters, thefe Plants, wnich are 

 expofed, will be deftroyed. Thefe 

 two Sorts flower in the Spring (at 

 which time they make an handfome 

 Appearance amor.gft other hardy 

 Exotic Plants) ; and fometimes they 

 will produce ripe Seeds in England. 

 They may alfo be propagated by 

 Cuttings, which mould be planted 

 in Pots filled with light rich Earth, 

 and plunged into a very moderate 

 Hot- bed ; obferving to water and 

 made them, until they have taken 

 Root ; after which time, they mull: 

 be removed into the open Air, and 

 fhould remain abroad until the lino, 

 of OcJober, or the Beginning of i'-'o- 

 vemher ; when they muft either be 

 6 



removed under an Hot-bed-fraxne, 

 where they may be covered in frofty 

 Weather, or elfe placed in theGreen- 

 houfe near the Windows : for thty 

 ihould have as much Air as pofiibie 

 in mild Weather, otherwise they 

 will produce weak: Shoots, and fel- 

 dom flower near fo well as thole 

 which are treated hardily. 



The fifteenth, fixteenth, feven- 

 teenth, and eighteenth Sorts are na- 

 tives of America. Thefe are alfo 

 abiding Plants, which may be pro- 

 pagated by fowing their Seeds in 

 fmall Pots filled with light frelh. 

 Earth, in the Spring of the Year: 

 thefe Pots mould be plunged into 

 a moderate Hot-bed of Tanners 

 Bark, obferving to water the Earth 

 gently when you perceive it dryj 

 but you muft not give them too 

 much Water, left it burft the Seeds, 

 and caufe them to rot. In about 

 three Weeks or a Month after fow- 

 ing, the Plants will appear ; when 

 they fliould be frequently refrefhed 

 with Water, to promote theirGrowth; 

 and when they are two Inches high, 

 they mould be taken out of the 

 Pots, and carefully parted; planting 

 each Piar.t into a fmall Pot filled 

 with the fame rich Earth as the 

 Seeds were fown in. Then the Pots 

 Ihould be plunged again into a mo- 

 derate Hot-bed of Tanners Bark, 

 obferving to water and lhade them 

 until they have taken Root ; after 

 which time they Ihould be conftantly 

 refrefhed with Water, as the Scafon 

 may require; and in warm Weather 

 the Glaifcs of the Hot-bed Ihould 

 be raifed with Scones, to admit the 

 Air to the Plants in proportion to 

 the Heat of the Weather. When 

 the Plants have grown fo as to 

 fill thefe fmall Pots with their Roots, 

 they ihould be ftiaken out of them, 

 and tranfplanted into Pots a Size 

 larger, and then plunged into the 

 Hot-bed
