open Air in a warm Situation ; where 

 they will endure the Cold of our 

 ordinary Winters very well, and 

 flower and produce ripe Seeds every 

 Year, much better than thofe which 

 are confined in Pots : but it will be 

 proper to keep one Plant of each 

 Kind in Pots, becaufe a very fevere 

 "Winter may deftroy thofe which 

 Hand abroad : fo their Kinds may be 

 loft, unlefs there is one of each Kind 

 preferved by flickering of them in 

 "Winter. 



The feventh, ninth, tenth, twelfth, 

 thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and 

 fixteenth Sorts are hardy enough to 

 live abroad in the open Air, unlefs 

 an very hard Winters; and thofe 

 Plants which are planted in the full 

 Ground, will thrive and flower much 

 better than thofe which are kept in 

 Pots ; and thefe will produce plenty 

 of Seeds : fo that if a fevere Winter 

 fhould deftroy fome of them, yet 

 the Seeds will foon fupply plenty of 

 Plants again: though when they 

 have ftood long in the open Air, 

 there will not be fo much Danger of 

 their being killed ; efpeciaily when 

 they are intermixed with other 

 Shrubs, which will help to protect, 

 them from Froft : therefore if their 

 Heads fhould happen to be injured 

 by the Cold, their Stems will fhoot 

 out again the following Summer. 

 The feventh Sort is now cultivated 

 in plenty in the Nurferies near Lon- 

 don\ but the others are at prefent 

 lefs common ; though, in a few Years, 

 it may be expected to fee moft of 

 thefe Sorts in plenty in the EngH/b 

 Gardens. Thefe may all be propa- 

 gated by Seeds, in the fame manner 

 as is directed for the fixth Sort ; and 

 the Plants may be treated in the 

 fame way. » 



The eighteenth Sort is iomewhat 

 tender while young; but after the 

 Plants have gottea Strength;, they 



will live in the open Air, if they are 

 are planted in a fheltered Situation. 



The African Sort is yet tenderer 

 than either of the former ; fo will 

 not bear the open Air of our Coun- 

 try in Winter ; but muft be con- 

 flantly preferved in Pots, and remo- 

 ved into the Green-houfe in Winter, 

 where the Plants fhould be placed fo 

 as to enjoy as much free Air as pof- 

 fible in mild Weather ; otherwife 

 they will fhoot very weak, and be- 

 come unfightly ; nor will they pro- 

 duce their Flowers in near fo great 

 Plenty, as when they are expofed to 

 Air as much as poffible in mild Wea- 

 ther. 



This Sort is propagated by Seeds, 

 which fhould be fown early in the 

 Spring, in Pots filled with frefh light 

 Earth ; which fhould be plunged in- 

 to an Hot-bed of Tanners Bark, ob- 

 ferving to water them gently, as the 

 Earth may require. When the 

 Plants are come up two Inches high, 

 they fhould be carefully tranfplant- 

 ed, each into a feparate fmall Pot, 

 which fhould be plunged into a mo- 

 derate Hot-bed ; obferving to fcreen 

 them from the Sun until they have 

 taken new Roots ; after which time 

 the Glafles of the Hot-bed fhould be 

 raifed every Day, to admit frefh 

 Air to the Plants ; and they muft be 

 duly watered three or four times a 

 Week in warm Weather. By the 

 Eeginning of Jam, thefe Plants will 

 have acquired fome Strength ; then 

 they fliould be inured to bear the 

 open Air by degrees ; and toward 

 the End oVJune, if the Seafon proves 

 warm, the Plants fliould be removed 

 out of the Hot-bed, and placed m 

 a warm Situation, where they may- 

 remain until ORober', when they 

 mull be removed into Shelter, place- 

 ing them near the Windows of the 

 Green-houfe, that they may enjoy 

 a large Share ef 'Air. During the
