Earth ; and when the Plants are 

 come up, they Ihould be tranfplant- 

 ed into Bedsoffrelh Earth, at about 

 fix Inches Diftance from each other, 

 obferving to water and {hade them 

 until they have taken Root ; after 

 which they will require no farther 

 Care, but to keep them clear from 

 Weeds, and in very dry Weather to 

 refrefh them with Water. 



At Michaelmos fome of them may 

 be tranfplanted into the Middle of 

 warm Borders in the Pleafure-gar- 

 den ; and the reft maybe planted in- 

 to Pots fill'd with freih light Earth, 

 which in Winter ihould be (heltered 

 under a common Hot-bed-frame, 

 where they may be covered in frofty 

 Weather ; but in mild Weather 

 they fiiould have as much free Air 

 as poiiible. Thefe Plants, thus fhel- 

 ter\i,wiii flower very ftrong iaMajs 

 and if daiy watered in dry Weather, 

 will produce ripe Seeds in July, 

 whi< a may Degatner^d in the Pods, 

 and preserved for fowing. The 

 Roots ofthefe Plants will abide three 

 or four Years, unleis deftroyed by 

 great Cold ; and may be parted, to 

 increafe them : but thefe Plants 

 which are propagated from Slips, 

 feldom flower lb itrong as thole pro- 

 duced from Seeds ; fo that it is the 

 belt Way to raife every Year fome 

 from Seeds • co fucceed the old 

 Koo:s. 



The fifth, fixth, feventh, and 

 eighth Sorts are alio tender, and 

 will rarely endure the Cold of our 

 Winters without Shelter, unlefs in 

 fome very warm Situations ; there- 

 fore thefe mould be planted in Pots 

 fill'd with ftefh light Earth, and fhel- 

 tered in Winter as the two former 

 Sorts. Thefe may be propagated 

 from Seeds, as the former Sorts. 

 Thefe Sorts feldom abide longer 

 than two Years, and mult be defend- 

 ed from Frofl in Winter j fo that 



s c 



they mould be often renew'd froia 

 Seeds. 



The ninth, tenth, eleventh, and 

 twenty-firft Sorts are biennial Plants, 

 which very rarely live longer than 

 two Years. Thefe feldom flower 

 the fame Seafon their Seeds are 

 fown ; or if they do, it is generally- 

 pretty late in Autumn ; fo that they 

 do not produce good Seeds: but 

 when the Plants grow Ihort, and do 

 not put out their Flower-ftems the 

 firit. Year, they flower very ftrong 

 early in the following Summer, and 

 produce good Seeds. Thefe Sorts 

 are hardy enough to endure the 

 Cold of our ordinary Winters very 

 well, provided they are planted in a 

 dry undunged Soil. 



The twelfth, thirteenth, four- 

 teenth, fifteenth, fixteenth, eighteenth, 

 nineteenth, and twentieth Sorts are 

 abidingPIantf, theirRoots continuing 

 many Years ; and the eighteenthSort 

 creeps at the Root, fo that it pro- 

 pagates very fail that way, as alfo 

 by Seeds. This is an extreme har- 

 dy Plant, and will live in almolt any 

 Soil and Situation ; but mould not 

 be planted too near other Plants, be- 

 caufe ic creeps fo far, as to interfere 

 with fuch Plants as grow near it. 



The other Sorts will endure the 

 Cold of our ordinary Winters very 

 well, if they are planted in a lhel- 

 tered Situation ; and when they are 

 planted in a lean rubbifhy Soil, they 

 will not grow too freely, but will be 

 Hinted, and endure a much greater 

 Share of Cold, than when they are 

 planted in a rich Soil,where they be- 

 come very luxuriant. 



All thefe Sorts ^re propagated by 

 Seeds, which fno ;ld be fown on a 

 Bid of lightEarth in the Spring; but 

 it often happens, that the Seeds will 

 lie in the Ground a Year, or longer, 

 before the Plants come up ; fo that 

 ths Ground (hould not be d&urbed,
