Air in very mild Winters, when it 

 has been planted in a warm Border, 

 near a Wall : but in fevere Froft 

 they are deftroyed ; therefore fome 

 Plants fhould be houfed in Winter, 

 to preferve the Kinds. This Sort 

 will grow to the Height of five or 

 fix Feet, if the Branches are trained 

 up to Stakes ; otherwife they will 

 fall to the Ground, and appear un- 

 sightly * f or tne Branches are fo 

 llender as not to be able to fupport 

 themfelves The Leaves of this 

 Sort clofely embrace the Stalks, and 

 are indented on their Edges, which 

 end in {harp Points. Thefe Leaves 

 continue green all the Year; in 

 which the Beauty of the Plant con- 

 lifts, for the Flower? have no Beauty. 



This may be eafily propagated,by 

 Cuttings, during any of the Sum- 

 mer-months. They may be planted 

 In a lhady Border, and fupplied with 

 Water in dry Weather ; and in two 

 Months they will have taken Root, 

 and may afterward be taken up and 

 potted, or planted in a warm Bor- 

 oer, where they are to remain. 

 Thofe which are planted in Pots, 

 mult be houfed at the fame time 

 when Myrtles, and other hardy 

 Green-houfe Plants, are put into the 

 Houfe ; and mould be placed where 

 they may have as much free Air as 

 poflible in mild Weather; for they 

 only want Protection in fevere Froft. 



The other Sorts may be treated 

 in the fame manner ; but thefe do 

 not fo eafily take Root from Cut- 

 tings; fo may be propagated by lay- 

 ing down their tender Branches in 

 May ; which, if duly watered, will 

 have taken Root by the Middle of 

 September ; when they may be taken 

 oft, and each planted into a feparate 

 Pot; and mould be placed in a 

 lhady Situation, until they have 

 taken new Root: after which they 

 may be placed in a fheltered Situa- 



c L 



tion, until they are removed into the 

 Green-houfe.
