The twelve Sorts which are firft- 

 mentioned are Natives of Africa: 

 mod of thefe are preferved in warm 

 Stoves, for the lingular Structure 

 of the Plants, more than for their 

 Beauty : thefe have been brought 

 into Europe by the Dutch, and by 

 them have been communicated to 

 moll of the curious Gardens in Eu- 

 rope. The five firft, and the eleventh 

 and twelfth Sorts are much tenderer 

 than the others : thefe cannot be 

 preferved thro' the Winter in Eng- 

 land, unlefs they are placed in a 

 Stove ; nor mould they be expofed 

 abroad in Summer ; for they are 

 very fubjecl to rot with much Moiil- 

 ure: therefore it is much the beft 

 Method to let thefe Plants remain 

 in the Houfe all the Summer, and 

 open the Doors of the Stove every 

 Day in good Weather, to allow them 

 as much free Air as poffible : with 

 this Management, the Plants will 

 thrive, and appear green ; whereas, 

 when they are placed abroad, they 

 change their Colour, appear fickly, 

 and make little Progrefs. 



Thefe Sorts are eafiiy propagated 

 by Cuttings, which mould be cut 

 from the old Plants in June : when 

 thefe Cuttings are taken oft, the 

 milky Juice of the old Flants will 

 flow out in .plenty: therefore there 

 mould be fome dry Earth or Sand 

 applied upon the wounded Parr, 

 which will harden, and fepp the Sap :
