who fent the Seeds to the Royal 

 Garden at Paris ; where the Plants 

 were raifed, and have fmce been 

 diftributed to feveral curious Perfons 

 in Eumpe. 



Thefe Plants may be propagated 

 by Seeds;, which mould be fown on 

 a Bed of frefh light Earth the Be- 

 ginning of March. When the 

 Plants begin to appear, they mould 

 be kept clear from Weeds ; and in 

 dry Weather they muft be frequently; 

 watered, which will greatly pro- 

 mote their Growth. When the 

 Plants are about two Inches high, 

 they fliould be carefully taken out 

 of the Bed, and tranfplanted, fome 

 of them into fmall Pots filled with 

 frefh light Earth, and the others 

 into a Bed of frefh Earth in a warm 

 Situation. When thofc Plants, which 

 were pla .ted in Pots, have grown 

 fo much as to fill the Pots with their 

 Roots, they mult be fhaken out of 

 them, and their Roots parted, and 

 then put into Pots a little larger than 

 the former ; which muft be filled 

 with frefh Earth, and then placed 

 in an open Situation, In this Place 

 they may remain until the Beginning 

 of November, when they mould be 

 removed, and placed under an Plot- 

 bed-frame, where they may be fhel- 

 tered from fevere Froft in Winter: 

 but in mild Weather they fnould 

 have as much free .Air asponible; 

 fo that the Glafles of the Hot-bed 

 muft be taken off every Day when 

 the Weather is good. In the Spring 

 fome of thefe Plants may be fhaken 

 out of the Pots, and planted in a 

 warm Border; where they will 

 thrive, and produce their Flowers, 

 and fometimes will perfect their 

 Seeds in, this Country. 



Thofe Plants which are planted 

 in a Bed of good Earth, will require 

 no other Culture but to keep them 

 clear from Weeds ; but if the Win- 

 6 



ter fliould prove very fevere, it will 

 be proper to cover them with Mats 

 or Peas-haulm, to protect, them from 

 the Froft; and in the Spring the 

 Plants may be taken up, and tranf- 

 planted into the Borders of the Plea- 

 fure-garden, where they are defigned 

 to remain. As thefe Plants are in 

 Danger of being deftroyed in very 

 cold Winters, ic will be proper to 

 keep two or three Plants of each 

 Kind in Pots ; which may be fhel- 

 tered from fevere Froft, in order to 

 preferve the Species.
