■'ltiuft be Town on an Hot bed early 

 in the Spring ; and when the Plants 

 are come up, they mull be trans- 

 planted into a frefh Hot-bed, and 

 treated in the fame manner as is 

 directed for Amaranths, to which 

 Ariide I refer the Reader, to avoid 

 Repetition. If thefe are brought 

 forward early in the Year, they will 

 produce their Flowers in fiJv, and 

 perfect their Seeds in September ; 

 but if they are late, and the Autumn 

 mould prove bad, they will not live 

 to ripen Seeds ; therefore it is the 

 better Way to place the Pots in a 

 Bark-Move, which will bring them 

 forward, and perfedl their Seeds. 



The third Sort will abide three 

 or four Years, if prefer vcd in a 

 warm Stove, and will produce 

 Flowers and Seeds annually, by 

 which it may be propagared. All 

 thefe Varieties are very ornamental 

 to cunous Gardens of Plants. 



The three lail Sorts are annual 

 Plants, which mould be raifed on 

 an Hot-bed early in the Spring ; for 

 if they are not brought forward at 

 that Seafen, they leldom perfect 

 tfeeir Seeds in this Country. As 

 thefe Sorts are to be managed in the 

 fame manner as thofe which are be- 

 fore-mentioned ; it ts needlefs to 

 repeat it here. 



The fourth Sort will grow to the 

 Height of fix or feven Feet, pro- 

 vided the Plants are preferved in a 

 warm Stove, other wife they will not 

 live thro' the Winter. Thefe are 

 propagated by Seeds, which mould 

 be fown on an Hot- bed early in the 

 Spring ; and when the Plants are 

 come up an Inch high, they mould 

 be carefully tranfplanted into {mall 

 Pots filled with frelh Earth, and 

 plunged into an Hot bed of Tan- 

 ners Bark, obferving to iliade them 

 until they have taken Hoot ; after 



which time they mould have Air and 

 Water in proportion to the Warmth 

 of the Seafon. In this Bed they 

 may remain until the Plants reach 

 the GlafTes, when they muft be re- 

 moved into the Bark-itove, obferv- 

 ing to fnift the Plants into larger Pots, 

 as they mall require it.

The firft of thefe Plants is fome- 

 times ufed in Medicine : this is found 

 wild in divers Parts of England, 

 growing on dry fandy Banks. 



The other Sorts are preferved in 

 Botanic Gardens for the fake of 

 Variety ; but there is no great Beauty 

 in them They may all of them be 

 eafily propagated byPerfons curious 

 that way ; for they fpread and in- 

 creafe by their creeping Roots, or 

 trailing Branches ftriking Root as 

 they lie upon the Ground. They 

 love a light fandv Soil.
