them out into the Borders of the 

 Flower - garden, where they will 

 flower the May following; and when 

 they have ripened, their Seeds will 

 die ; therefore you muft fow every 

 Year, to have a Supply of frefh 

 Roots. 



The two Dwarf American Kinds 

 are only propagated by Off-fets, their 

 Seeds feldom ripening with us : they 

 are hardy, and will endure in the 

 open Air, provided they are planted 

 in a dry Soil, and a warm Situation : 

 the bell Seafon for parting their 

 Roots is in April ; but they muft 

 not have too rich a Soil. 



The Canary Campanula is one of 

 the moft beautiful PiantsoftheGreen- 

 houfe, it producing its Flowers in the 

 Depth of Winter; and continues 

 them thro' the Months of December, 

 January, and February. This Plant 

 is propagated by parting its Roots, 

 the Seafon for which is in June, 

 when the Stems are quite decayed; 

 and in doing of it, great Care lhould 

 be taken not to break or bruife their 

 Roots, which would endanger their 

 decaying. The Soil in which thefe 

 Roots mould be planted, muft be 

 one-third frefh Earth, a third-part 

 Sand, and the reft Lime-rubbim ; this 

 lhould be well mixed and fcreened, 

 and if laid together half a Year be- 

 fore it is ufed, that it may incorpo- 

 rate, it will be the better. 



When you plant the Roots, give 

 them a little Water to fettle the 

 Earth about them ; but afterwards 

 let your Waterings be very fparingly 

 done, and but feldom repeated until 

 their Stems begin to advance; after 

 which, they muft have a little more 

 freely. The Stems of the Flower 

 will begin to appear in Augujl ; and 

 if the Roots are ftrong, will rife to 

 eight or nine Feet in Height ; and 

 in 'November, or fooner, will begin 

 to flievv its beautiful flame colour -d

Flowers. When thefe Stems begin 

 to advance, you mould remove th« 

 Plants into Shelter, to gu rd them 

 from morning Frofts, or great Rains; 

 and as the Weather grows colder, 

 they muft be removed into a good 

 Green - houfe, where they fhould 

 have as much free Air as pofiible in 

 open mild Weather. This Plant 

 will require the fame Proportion of 

 Heat as is allotted for the Ficoides, 

 and will thrive in the fame Houfe 

 better than among Orange - trees, 

 Cifr. 



The nettle - leav'd Bell - flowers 

 are very hardy, and may be increafed 

 by parting their Roots either in 

 Spring or Autumn, and are proper 

 for large open Borders. 



The Rampion is propagated in 

 the Kitchen-garden, for its Root, 

 which was formerly in greater Efteem 

 in England than at prefent, altho* 

 the French are ftill very fond of it : 

 the Seeds of this Plant lhould be 

 fown in March, in a Bed of light 

 dry Earth, very thin ; and in May, 

 when the Plants are come up, hoe 

 them out, leaving them about four 

 Inches fquare ; and during rhe Sum* 

 mer keep them clear from Weeds, 

 and the Winter following they will 

 be fit for Ufe. 



The fix Sorts of Venus\ Look- 

 ing- glafs are annual Plants; the 

 Seeds of thefe fhould be fown in the 

 Borders of the Flower-garden, where 

 they are to remain; for they do not 

 love tranfplanting. If the Seeds 

 are fown in April, the Plants will 

 flower in June and July, but if they 

 are fown In May, they will not flower 

 till Augujl ; fo that by fowing them 

 at different times, there may be a 

 Succelnon of them in Flower during 

 all the Summer-months : and if the 

 Seeds are fown toward the End of 

 Auguft, upon a light warm Soil, the 

 Plains will abide the Winter, and 



flower
