Plants cannot have too much Air in 

 mild Weather j but they mull be 

 guarded againft Froft. 



The fourth Sore hath long trail- 

 ing Shoots, which extend to the 

 Length of three or four Feet ; but 

 are too weak to fupport themfelves, 

 fo require to be tied up to Stakes ; 

 for the Leaves, being pretty th ; ck 

 and fucculent, weigh down the 

 Branches, when they are not fup- 

 ported : the Flowers are produced 

 fingly from the Ends of the Shoots, 

 but not at any particular Sealbn, 

 fome coming out in the Spring and 

 Summer, others in Autumn and 

 Winter: thefe are in Shape and Co- 

 lour very like thofe of the firft Sort. 



This Plant is very eafily propa- 

 gated by Cuttings, during any of 

 the Summer - months : if they are 

 planted upon an old Hot-bed, and 

 fhaded and watered, they will take 

 Root in about fix Weeks time, when 

 they fhould be planted each into 

 a feparate Pot filled with light Earth ; 

 and after they have taken frefti Root, 

 they may be placed in an open Si- 

 tuation, where they may have the 

 Sun during the Summer - feafon ; 

 but in Winter they mull: be fcreen- 

 ed from the Froft, and have as 

 much free Air as polTible in mild 

 Weather ; fo that if they are 

 placed in an airy Glafs-cafe with 

 the former Sort in Winter, and ex- 

 pofed with other Exotic Plants from 

 the fame Country in Summer, they 

 will thrive extremely well.

Thefe are all of them annual 

 Plants, which perifh foon after they 

 have perfected their Seeds; but if 

 they are permitted to fcatter, will 

 come up abundantly, and become 

 troublcfome Weeds. But in order 

 to keep the Sorts diftinft, you mould 

 carefully fave the Seeds of each, and 

 fow them in the Spring, efpecially 

 the largeft, double, the party-co- 

 lour'd, and childing Kinds, which 

 are often kept in Gardens for the 

 Beauty of their Flowers : the others 

 are only fowed for Pot-herbs. The 

 feventh and ninth Sorts are very 

 pretty annual Plants; thefe may 

 be fown on a Bed or Border in the 

 Spring, where they are defigned 

 to remain ; for they feldom thrive • 

 well when they are tranfplanted : 

 a few Plants of each of thefe large 

 double KTinds of Marigolds may 

 have a Place in large open Borders, 

 where the molt hardy Kinds of 

 Flowers which require little Culture, 

 are ufually planted, in which they 

 will make an agreeable Variety.
