if the Plants do not appear the firft 

 Year : bat it mould be kept clean 

 from Weeds, and wait until the 

 Plants come up ; and when they are 

 fit to remove, they mould be tranf- 

 planted where they are to remain. 

 Thefe Sorts are preferved by thofe 

 who are curious in the Study of 

 Plants ; but are rarely propagated 

 in other Gardens.

The fecond Sort is a common 

 V/eed, which grows plentifully by 

 the Side of Ditches, in moft Parts of 

 England-, therefore is not admitted 

 into Gardens : this was formely ti- 

 tled Lyfmachia galericulata. 



The nrft Sort grows plentifully in 

 Italy, and other warm Countries, in 

 moid Places: tfcis is a Plant of no 

 great Beauty ; but is kept in Botanic 

 Gardens for the fake of Variety. 



The third and fourth Sorts are 

 Natives of the Alps ; the Branches 

 of thefe trail upon the Ground ; and 

 at the End of each there is a Spike 

 of large Flowers, which in one Sort 

 are blue, with yellow Falls ; and 

 thofe of the other are white : the 

 Flowers of thefe Plants continue a 

 long time ; fo a few Plants of each 

 Sort may be admitted to have a 

 Place in large Gardens, where they 

 will add to the Variety : thefe per- 

 fect their Seeds very well in Eng- 

 land ; fo that they may be propa- 

 gated in plenty : the Seeds may be 

 fown upon a Bed of common Earth 

 about the Latter-end of March ; and 

 when the Plants are fit to remove, 

 they may be either planted in the 

 Borders of rhe Pieafure- garden, or 

 into Nurfery-beds, where they may 

 iiay tiii the following Autumn ; and
