 Flower. 



The firtt of thefe Plants is a Per- 

 ennial, and may be propagated by 

 Heads taken off the Mother-plant, 

 either in Spring or Autumn ; but 

 thofe Plants which are raifed from 

 Seed?, are much ltronger than thofe 

 from Slips. Thefe Plants are com- 

 monly planted in Pots filled with 

 light fandy Soil, in order to fhelter 

 them in the Winter from fevere 

 Frolls ; but if they are planted in 

 warm Borders, either under Walls, 

 Pales, or Hedges, and in a mode- 

 rately dry Soil, they will endure 

 abroad very well. This Plant be- 

 gins flowering in May, and continues 

 till Augujl or September (efpecially if 

 the Summer is not too dry) : it is a 

 pretty Ornament to a Garden, and 

 is eafily kept within Bounds. It may 

 alfo be propagated by Seeds, which 

 mould be fown on a Border of good 

 light Earth in March : and in May, 

 when the Plants are come up, they 

 may be either tranfplanted into Pots 

 or Borders, where they are to re- 

 main for flowering. Thefe Plants 

 fhould remain unrcmoved for three 

 or four Years when they are planted 

 in the full Ground, which will caufe 

 them to flqwer better, and they will 

 produce more Seeds. The Seeds 

 ripen in Augujl. 



The other two Sorts are Annuals, 

 and therefore only propagated by 

 Seeds, which ripen very well in this 

 Country. The Time for fowing them 

 is early in March, in Beds or Bor- 

 ders of light Earth, which will come 

 up in a Month's time, and may then 

 be tranfplanted into Borders to 

 flower : thefe flower in June, and 

 perfect their Seeds in Augujl or S f p- 

 tember; but- as they have little Beau- 

 ty, they are not often kept in Gar- 

 dens,
