Winter-feafon, thefe Plants mull be 

 frequently watered ; but they mull 

 not have too much given them at a 

 time, left it rot the Fibres of their 

 Roots. In Summer they mull be 

 expofed again, with other Exotic 

 Plants, in a ftieltered Situation, where 

 they may be defended from ftrong 

 Winds i and as the Plants increafe in 

 Size, they muft be put into larger 

 Pots ; but they muft not be allowed 

 Pots too large ; for in thefe they will 

 not thrive. 



The twentieth Sort is yet more 

 tender than the laft-mentioned : this, 

 being a Native of the warm Parts of 

 America, will not live in this Cli- 

 mate, unlefs it is preferved in the 

 vvarmeft Stoves. This is propagated 

 by Seeds which mould be fown early 

 in the Spring, in Pots filled with 

 rich light Earth, and plunged into 

 an Hot-bed of Tanners Bark, and 

 treated as hath been directed for 

 other tender Plants. In Summer 

 thefe Plants may be expofed abroad, 

 in a fheltered Situation ; but in Win- 

 ter they muft be removed into the 

 Stove, and treated as other tender 

 Exotics. 



The twenty-fecond Sort is pre- 

 ferved as a Curiofity in Europe ; but 

 in the IVeJi-lndics it is frequently 

 planted by the Sides of Alleys in 

 Gardens, to form an Hedge, where 

 they will laft many Years without 

 decaying ; and will thrive on bar- 

 ren Land, which has been worn out, 

 where fcarcely any other Plant will 

 profper. It produces great Quanti- 

 ties of Fruit, which are fometimes 

 eaten by the Inhabitants ; but their 

 chief Ufe is to feed Pigeons; from 

 whence this Plant had its Name. 

 The Branches, with the ripe Peas 

 and Leaves, are given to Hogs, 

 Horfes, and moft other Cattle, which 

 fatten them very much. 



In England it is preferved by fome 



curious Perfons in the Stove ; being 

 too tender to live through the Win- 

 ter in this Climate without arti- 

 ficial Warmth. This Plant may be 

 propagated by Seeds, which mould 

 be fown in the fame manner as the 

 laft-mentioned Sort; and the'PIants 

 of this Kind muft be placed in a 

 Bark-ftove, otherwife they will not 

 flower in England. 



The twenty-firft is a low Plant, 

 which feldom riles above a Foot 

 high, but will live in the open Air. 

 This is alfo propagated by Seeds, 

 which fhould be fown upon a Bor- 

 der of common Earth, where the 

 Plants are defigned to remain ; and 

 the fecond Vear they will produce 

 Flowers and Seeds. 



The twenty- third Sort is a Native 

 of America, where the Inhabitants 

 have made Indigo from the Plant : 

 this hath an annual Stalk, and a 

 perennial Root: the Stalks rife about 

 two Feet high, and produce their 

 Flowers at the Extremity of the 

 Branches : it is pretty difficult to 

 keep this Plant in the Englijb Gar- 

 dens ; for the young Plants require 

 a little Protection from Froft the fir ft 

 Year ; but they will not live in Pots, 

 therefore fhould be kept in the full 

 Ground, and covered in fevereFroft.' 



The twenty-fourth Sort is a low 

 Shrub, feldom rifing above three 

 Feet high : this produces its Flowers 

 early in the Spring, which renders it 

 valuable. This is very hardy, and 

 may be propagated by Seeds, in the 

 fame manner as the fixth Sort.
