The four firfl: Sorts are raifed 

 from Seeds, which mould be fown 

 in a dry Soil, which is not too rich, 

 in April or May ; and in July may 

 be planted out into large Borders, 

 where they will flower the Spring 

 following ; or they may be fown 

 early in the Spring, for flowering 

 the fame Autumn ; but then they are 

 not fo likely to endure the Winter ; 

 and if the Autumn prove bad, they 

 will not perfect their Seeds. 



Thefe Plants grow extremely well 

 upon old Walls or Buildings, in 

 which Places they will endure for 

 feveral Years ; whereas thofe planted 

 in Gardens feldom lall longer than 

 two Years, unlefs they are planted 

 in a very poor Soil, and the Flowers 

 often cropped, and not fuffered to 

 feed ; but any of thefe Sorts may be 

 continued, by planting Cuttings in 

 any of the Summer-months, which 

 will eafily take Root. The fourth 

 Sort is tenderer than any cf the for- 

 mer,
