andria t and in feveral other warm 

 Countries where it becomes a very 

 large Tree. The Pods of this are 

 annually brought into England, for 

 the Ufe of the Pulp which is lodged 

 round the Seeds ; fo that whoever 

 hath an Inclination to raife thePlants, 

 may be eafily fupplied with the 

 Seeds from the Druggilts, who im- 

 port the Pods, or the Apothecaries, 

 when they take out the Pulp : thefe 

 Seeds mull be fown upon an Hot- 

 bed in the Spring ; and if, when the 

 Plants are fit to remove, they are 

 e^ch planted into a fmall Pot, and 

 ptui ged into an Hot-bed of Tan, 

 the Plants may be raifed two Feet 

 high the fir ft Summer : thefe Plants, 

 as- they get Strength, will become 

 more hardy ; fo may be expofed in 

 the open Air in a warm-fheltered Si- 

 tuation, for near three Months in 

 the warmelt Part of the Year ; and 

 the Plants fo managed will be more 

 healthy (though they do not make 

 fo great Progrefs) than thofe which 

 are conftantly kept in the Stove : but 

 they muft be removed into the Stove 

 upon the firft Approach of cold 

 Weather in Autumn ; and, if the 

 Stove is kept to a moderate Tempe- 

 rature of Warmth, the Plants will 

 do better than in a greater Heat. 



The third Sort is much tenderer 

 than this, and will not bear the open 

 Air of this Country in Summer : the 

 Seeds of this Sort are frequently 

 brought from the Weft- Indies ; and, 

 when the Plants are raifed upon an 

 Hot-bed, and brought forward, they 

 will make very great Progrefs the 

 firft Summer; but it is with great 

 Difficulty the Plants are preferved 

 through the Winter ; their Stems, 

 being foft and fpongy, are very apt 

 to grow mouldy, and then the whole 

 Plant will rot away ; fo that they 

 mould be placed in the Tan-bed in 

 the w^rmeft Stove, otherwjfe thej 



cannot be preferved in this Coun- 

 try. 



The fourth, ninth, tenth, and fe- 



venteenth Sorts are Natives of Vir- 

 ginia and Carolina ; fo are hardy 

 enough to live in the open Air in 

 England: thefe Sorts have annual 

 Stalks, and perennial Roots : if thefe 

 are planted in a warm Situation, 

 their Roots will abide feveral Year?, 

 and produce their Flowers in Au- 

 tumn ; but they never produce Seeds 

 here, unlefs they are placed in a 

 Stove to forward their Flowering. 



The eleventh, fifteenth, fixteenth, 

 and eighteenth Sorts are Ihrubby 

 Plants, which grow to the Height 

 of eight or ten Feet : thefe will not 

 live through the Winter in this 

 Country, unlefs they are placed in 

 a moderate Stove in Winter ; fo they 

 fhould be treated in the fame man- 

 ner as hath been directed for the 

 Cafpa Fiji u la. Thefe generally flow- 

 er, but never produce Seeds in Eng> 

 land. 



The other Sorts are of humbler 

 Growth, feldom rifing above four 

 or five Feet high, and have herba- 

 ceous Stalks : thefe mull be raifed 

 upon an Hot-bed, and brought for- 

 ward early in the Spring, otherwife 

 they wi ! l not produce Flowers or 

 Seeds : they may be kept through 

 the Winter in a good Stove ; but as 

 they will perfect Seeds the firft Year, 

 when they are well managed,it is not 

 worth while to continue the Plants 

 longer.
