fets of conHclerable Strength, which 

 muft be taken from the old Roots ; 

 and fuch of them as are large enough 

 to produce Flowers, may be planted 

 in Borders with the old Roots ; but 

 the fmali ones ihould be planted in 

 a Nurfery-bed, where they may re- 

 main till they have Strength enough 

 to flower ; but if you remove the 

 blowing Roots oftener, they will 

 not flower fo ftrong, nor will their 

 Increafe be near fo great. 



This Plant deferves a Place in the 

 moft curious Flower-gardens, for the 

 Earlinefs of its Flowering ; being 

 the £ril Plant of large Growth, that 

 we have flowers, and fo confequent- 

 ly garnifhes the Crowns of Borders, 

 at a Seafon when there are no other 

 Flowers in the fame Line appearing ; 

 and fo begins that Order of Flower- 

 ing, which mould be fucccedcd by 

 other Flowers of the like Growth, 

 thro 1 the greateft Part of the Seafon. 

 Their Seeds are ripe about the Be- 

 ginning of "June, and fhonld be fown 

 in July. For the Manner of per- 

 forming it, fee Tulipa.

The firft and fecond Species grow 

 with us to be fmall Shrubs, about 

 three or four Feet high ; and are fo 

 nearly alike in all rctpetts, as far as 

 I have been able to examine them, 

 that I couid readily pronounce them 

 tlu lame, were it not that they have 

 been by fo many eminent Botanifts 

 diftirtgaimed lor two abfolutely dif- 

 ferent Plants; which if there are two 

 fuch, I haC'e as yet feen but one of 

 them : I have indeed received Seeds 

 of the two Sorts from different Per- 

 fons abroad ; but when they came 

 up, they proved the fame, and this 

 more than once ; which caufes me 

 to fufpedl they are not different ; for 

 at different Seafons of the Year the 

 fame Plant appears different as to the 

 Colour of its Leaves ; which might 

 atfirillead a Perfon into the Miflake: 

 and this has been followed by all 

 that have fince written thereof. 



This Plant is propagated by fowl- 

 ing the Seeds in the Spring, either 

 upon a gentle Hot-bed, or on a 

 warm Border of frefh light Earth ; x 

 and when the Plants are come up 

 about two Inches high, they mould 

 be tranfplanted either into Pots, or 

 in a Bed of good rich Earth,' at 

 about four or five Inches Biitance 

 every Way, where they may remaio
