There are fome other Sorts of 

 this Plant in the Botanic Gardens 

 abroad ; but thefe here mentioned 

 are what we have, at prefent, in the 

 Englijh Gardens. 



Thefe are all abiding Plants (ex- 

 cept the thirty-ninth and fortieth 

 Sorts, which are annual) ; and may 

 be propagated by planting Cuttings 

 either in June or fuly ; obferving 

 to let them lie two or three Days, or 

 more, in a dry Place after they are 

 cut off from the Plants, before they 

 are planted, according as they are 

 more or lefs fucculent : the Sorts that 

 are woody, need only to be planted 

 upon an old Hot-bed, fhadmg and 

 watering them according to the Heat 

 and Drought of the Seafon ; but the 

 fucculent Kinds mould be planted 

 in Pots filled with light fandy frefh 

 Earth, and fhould be plunged into a 

 moderate Hot-bed, to facilitate their 

 taking Root; and thefe mould have 

 but little Moiflure, efpecially before 

 they are rooted, for much Wet will 

 certainly deftroy them. 



When the Plants have taken Root, 

 which will be in about a Month's 

 time, ycu mould expofe them to the 

 open Air gradually : thofe which , 

 were planted in Pots, may be drawn 

 cut of the Hot-bed at firft, and re- ' 

 moved into a Glafs-ftove, where 

 they may be enured, by degrees, to J 

 bear the Weather : but thofe planted 

 upon the old Hot-bed may remain 

 unremoved until Augufl; when they /I 

 mould be carefully taken up, and : 

 planted into- Pots filled with light ' 

 frem fandy Earth, and fetin a Situa- 1 

 tion where they may enjoy the | 

 morning
