 Auricula's in the Beauty of their 

 Flowers ; and as they require but 

 little Culture, they have, in many 

 Garden?, obtain'd the Preference to 

 moil other Spring Flowers. 



The firft Sort of Primrofe grow* 

 wild in Woods, and other fhady Pla- 

 ces, in molt Parts of England, from 

 whence their Roots may be eafily 

 tranfplanted into the Garden; where, 

 if they are placed under Hedges, and 

 in fhady Walks, they make a beau- 

 tiful Appearance early in the Spring, 

 when few other Plants are in Flow- 

 er.

 may have Strength to produce their 

 Mowers early in the Spring. Thefe

 from Seeds : thefe may be propaga-

 the common Sort. 



The ninth and tenth Sorts alfo 

 grow wild in the Meadows in diver* 

 Parts of England, the Roots of 

 which are often tranfplanted into 

 Gardens; where, if they are inter- 

 mix'd with other early - flowering 

 Plants, they afford an agreeable Va- 

 riety. 



The eleventh and twelfth Sorts 

 are Varieties which were produced 

 from Seeds of the former ; but the 

 lail is, at prefent, very rare in Eng- 

 land. Thefe may be propagated by 

 parting their Roots at Michaelmas, 

 and mould be planted on a ftrong 

 Soil, and expos'd to the morning 

 Sun.
