The VirginianWilA-fervice is fome- 

 what tender while young, during 

 which time it will require a little 

 Shelter, but may afterwards be trans- 

 planted into the full Ground, where, 

 if it is not: too much expofed, it will 

 thrive very well, and endure our 

 feverell Colds. This may be pro- 

 pagated by Seeds, as the former, or 

 from Layers and Suckers ; and may 

 alfo be budded or inarched into any 

 of the former Sorts. 



This is a very humble Shrub with 

 us in England, feldom rifing above 

 three Feet high ; but will often pro- 

 duce Fruit before the Plant is one 

 Foot high : the Flowers and Fruit 

 of this Sort are not produced in large 

 B.nches, as are thofe of the former 

 Sorts ; but are four or five at molt 

 in each Bunch, tho' the fingle Fruits 

 are not much lefs than thofe of the 

 fecond Sort. This Sort is yet pretty 

 irare in the Englifi Gardens.

Crinum. Lin. I fort. Cliff'. Ame- 

 rican Afphodel - lily, with many 

 white Flowers. 



This Plant is a Native of America, 

 from whence the Roots have been 

 brought into the Engl.fi> Gardens : 

 it is pretty tender; fo requires a 

 Stove to preferve it, otherwise it will 

 not live in this Country : if thefe 

 Plants are put into pretty large Pots, 

 and plunged into the Tan-bed in 

 the Stove, thay will increafe very 

 fall by their creeping Rcots, and 

 will produce Plenty of FldwerS : 

 the Stems of thefe Flowers com- 

 monly rife two Feet high, and pro- 

 duce very large Clufters of white 

 Flowers, having a narrow Stripe of 

 Purple on the Outlide of the Petals ; 

 thefe have a Itrong fweet Scent, but 

 are of a fhert Duration, rarely con- 

 tinuing in Beauty above three or 

 four Days ; but when the Plants are 

 kept in a moderate Degree of 

 Warmth, they will produce Flowers 

 at feveral times of the Year ; fo are 

 worthy of a Place in Gardens where 

 there are proper Conveniencies to 

 keep them : they alfo produce ripe 

 Seeds in England, which may rather 

 be called Buib< than Seeds. 



CRtTHMUM, Samphire. 

 The Characters are ; 



The Leaves are thich, fttcculent, 

 narrow, branchy, and trifid : the

 fifing of five Leaves, nvhch expand 

 in form of a Rofe : the Empalcment 

 of the Flovjer becomes a Fruit , confid- 

 ing of two plain and gently Jireak 'd 

 Seeds. 



We have but one Species of this 

 Plant common in England', which 

 is,
