A P 



Green-houfe in Winter, and mufl 

 not have too much Water in that 



Seafon. 



The feventh Sort is a climbing 

 Plant, and will twift itfelf round a 

 Stake, and grow to the Height of 

 ftven or eight Feet, and in Summer 

 will produce from the Joints fmall 

 Umbels of worn-out purple-colour'cf 

 Flowers, which are extremely fweet. 

 This is propagated by laying down 

 the young Shoots, which eafily take 

 Root, or by parting the Roots of 

 the old Plants. 



The eighth Sort is the mofl tender 

 of them all, and requires a mode- 

 rate Stove to preferve it in Winter t 

 this produces extreme beautiful 

 orange-coloured Flowers,which often 

 are fucceeded by ripe Seeds. This 

 Plant may be increafed by planting 

 the Cuttings in June, in a moderate 

 Hot-bed; but muft have little Wa- 

 ter, ar d be fecured from the violent 

 Heat of the Sun, and the Cold of 

 the Nights : but the beft Way to 

 propagate them is by fowing the 

 Seeds in an Hot-bed in March ; and 

 when the Plants are come up, prick 

 them into fmall Pots, and plunge 

 them into another Hot-bed, to bring 

 them forward ; and in June you may 

 begin to expofe them to the open 

 Air, at which time they will begin 

 to flower ; but it will be advifeable 

 to preferve one or two of the frrong- 

 eft in the Hot-bed, in order to pro- 

 cure good Seeds. 



The ninth Sort h tolerably hardy, 

 and only requires to be fcrcened from 

 the extreme Cold in Winter ; and if 

 it is planted into the full Ground, 

 under a warm Wail, it will thrive 

 very well , and continue feverai 

 Years ; whereas thofe in Pots are 

 with great Difficulty preferved. This 

 Plant .produces beautiful Umbels of 

 orange-coloufd Flowers, which abide 

 mofi Part of the Months of July and 



Augujl, and deferve a Place in the 

 moll curious Garden. This is pro- 

 pagated by parting the Roots in 

 March, or fowing the Seeds, which 

 in a good Seafon ripen tolerably well 

 with us. 



This Sort has not a milky Juice, 

 which is commrn to all the Dogs- 

 banes ; and the Leaves being placed 

 alternately on the Stalks, which in 

 all the true Dogs-banes are placed 

 oppofite by Pairs, fome Perfons have 

 removed it from the Genus of 

 Dogs- bane, and have made a fpu- 

 rious Genus of it, by the Name of 

 jlpocynoides. 



The eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, 

 fourteenth, fifteenth, fixteenth, nine- 

 teenth, and twentieth Sort 1 were fent 

 me by the late Mr. Robert Millar 

 from Carthagcna, in the Neighbour- 

 hood of which Place they grew. 

 Thefe climbing Sorts of Dogs-bane 

 run over Hedges, and climb to the 

 Top of the talleft Trees in their na- 

 tive Countries; but in England they 

 require a warm Stove, to preferve 

 them through the Winter, as they 

 arw Natives of a warm Climate. 



They may be eafily raifed from 

 Seeds, which mould be fown on an 

 Hot-bed in the Spring ; and whren 

 the Plants are fit to tranfplant, they 

 fhould be each planted in a fmall 

 Pot, and plunged into a moderate 

 Hot-bed of Tanners Bark, obferv- 

 ing to fhade them until they have 

 taken Root ; afterward they mould 

 have free Air admitted to them every 

 Day in warm Weather, and be duly 

 watered. When the Plants have 

 grown too tall to remain in the Hot- 

 bed, they may be removed into the! 

 Bark-ftove ; and during the Sum- 

 mer-time, they muft have a largei 

 Share of Air admitted to them ; bui 

 in Winter the Stove muft be kept tc 

 temperate Heat. Thefe Plants art 

 great Ramblers ; fo that if they an
