Plantations : thefe may be propa- 

 gated by planting the Cuttings in 

 Autumn in a mady Border, obferv- 

 ing to keep them watered until they 

 have taken Root; when they may 

 be tranfplanted into Nurferies, till 

 they are fit for the Purpofes in- 

 tended. The beftSeafon for remove- 

 ing thefe Trees is in October, tho* 

 indeed, if Care be ufed to take them 

 up with a good Ball of Earth, they 

 may be tranfplanted almoft at any 

 time, except in the Summer : thefe 

 Trees are a very great Ornament to 

 cold and barren Soils, where few 

 other things will grow: they may 

 alfo be propagated by laying down 

 the Branches, or from Seeds : the 

 laft being* the bell Method to have 

 them grow to be large, the Seeds 

 muft be fovvn foon after they are ripe 

 in a mady Border, which muft be 

 duly watered in dry Weather. 



The Dwarf Kind of Box is ufed 

 for bordering of Flower-beds, or 

 Borders ; for which Purpofe it far 

 exceeds any other Plant, it being 

 fubjecl to no Injuries from Cold or 

 Heat, and is of a long Duration, 

 is very eafily kept handfome, and, 

 by the Firmnefs of its Rooting, 

 keeps the Mould in the Borders from 

 warning into the Gravel-walks more 

 effectually than any Plant whatever: 

 this is increafed by parting the 

 Roots, or planting the Slips ; but 

 as it makes fo great an Increafe of 

 itfelf, and fo eafily parts, it is hardly 

 worth while to plant the Slips that 

 have no Roots ; but it is now be- 

 come fo common, that it may be 

 purchafed from the Nurferies at a 

 cheap Rate. • 



The manner of planting this in 

 Edgings, &c. is fo well underftood 

 by every working Gardener, that it 

 would be needlefs to mention any 

 thing of that kind here.

CA APEBA. 

 The Cbarafiers'axe ; 

 ll hath a Rofe-fiowcr, confftlng of 

 four Leaves, which are placed or hi* 

 cularly, but are ferile; from the 

 Middle arifes the Pointal, which is 

 plain, round, and umbilicated : the 

 Embryoes grow at a feparate Difance 

 on the fame Plants, which afterward 

 become foft fpherical Berries, include- 

 ing rough Seeds. 



The Species are ; 

 I Caapeba folio orbiculari & 

 umbilicato Isevi. Plum. Nov. Gen. 

 Caapeba with a round umbilicated 

 Leaf. 



2. Caapeba folio orbiculari um- 

 bilicato tomentofo. Plum. No<v. Gen, 

 Caapeba wjth a round woolly umbi- 

 licated Leaf. 



3. Caapeba folio orbiculari non 

 umbilicato. Plum. Nov. Gen. Caa- 

 peba with a round Leaf, not umbi- 

 licated. 



Thefe Plants are Natives of the 

 warmeft Parts of America, where 

 they twift themfelves round what- 

 ever Trees or Shrubs grow near 

 them, and fometimes rife to the 

 Height of fix or feven Feet : they 

 are propagated by Seeds, which 

 Ihould be Town in Pots filled with 

 frefh light Earth, early in the Spring : 

 thefe Pots muft be plunged into a 

 moderate Hot- bed of Tanners Bark, 

 and muft be frequently refrefhed 

 with Water. 



When thefe Plants are come up 

 about an Inch in Height, they 

 mould be tranfplanted into fmall 

 Pots filled with light rich Earth, 

 and plunged into the Hot-bed again,
