The firil Sort here mentioned was 

 formerly preferv'd in Green-houfes 

 with great Care ; but of late Years it 

 hath been planted out into the open 

 Air, and is found hardy enough to 

 endure the Cold of our fevereft Win- 

 ters without Shelter, provided it be 

 planted on a dry Soil. 



This may be propagated by plant- 

 ing Cuttings in the Spring, on a Bed 

 of frefli light Earth, obferving to 

 lhade and water them until they have 

 taken Root ; after which they will 

 require no farther Care, but to keep 

 them clear from Weeds, until the 

 following Spring ; when they may 

 be tranfplanted out into the Places 

 where they are to remain, being care- 

 ful in removing them not to make off 

 all the Earth from their Roots, as 

 alfo to water them until they have 

 taken frefh Root ; after which the 

 only Care they require, is to keep 

 the Ground clean about them, and 

 to prune off fuch Shoots as are ill 

 fituated ; whereby their Heads will 

 appear more regular. 



It may alfo be propagated by 

 Seeds, which generally are produc'd 

 in Plenty : if thefe are fown upon a 

 Bed of light Earth in April, the 

 Plants will come up in fix Weeks af- 

 ter ; and thefe may be tranfplanted 

 in Autumn, where they are defign'd 

 to remain. 



The Spanijb Sort is tenderer than 

 the former, tho' that will endure the 

 Cold of our ordinary Winters, if 

 planted on a dry Soil, and in a warm 

 Situation ; but in a fevere hard Froft 

 it is often deftroyed ; for which Rea- 

 fon the Plants are generally preferv'd 

 in Pots, and removed into the Green- 

 houfe in Winter. This is propagated 

 in the fame manner as the former. 



The Sort with ftriped Leaves is 

 lefs common than the plain, and is 

 valued by thofe that delight in va- 

 riegated Plants. This is lomewhat 

 tenderer than the plain Sort; but

may be propagated and preferved in 

 the fame manner, only obferving to 

 place it in a warmer Part of the 

 Green-houfe in Winter. 



The fourth Sort here mention'd is 

 very like to the Batic Tree-german- 

 der ; from which it differs in the 

 Leaves being broader, the Shoots 

 ftronger, and the young Shoots be- 

 ing whiter. This Sort may be pro- 

 pagated by Cuttings, in the fame 

 manner as hath been directed for 

 that Sort, and afterwards treated in 

 the fame Way. 



The feventh and twelfth Sorts ar - 

 alfo flirubby Plants, which -:ay be 

 propagated and tre ated in the fame 

 manner as hath been directed ior tiie 

 fourth; with which Management 

 thefe will thrive very well, ana may 

 be allowed to have a Place in the 

 Gardens, for the fake of Variety. 



The fifth Sort is a low-trailing 

 Plant, which puts out Roots from 

 the Joints of the Stalks, whereby it 

 may eafily be propagated, as alfo 

 from the Seeds, which require no 

 farther Care, than to fow them on a 

 Bed of frefh Earth, in an open Situa- 

 tion ; and when the Plants are come 

 up, they muft be kept clear from 

 Weeds ; and where they are too 

 clofe, fome of them mould be drawn 

 out, to give room for the others to 

 grow. This Sort will ripen Seeds 

 very well in this Country ; and, if 

 planted in a warm Situation, will 

 endure the Cold of our ordinary 

 Winters very well. 



The fixth, eighth, ninth, and 

 eleventh Sorts are annual Plants, of 

 humble Growth, Thefe are propa- 

 gated by Seeds, which mould be 

 fown on a Bed of frefli Earth in 

 March ; and when the Plants are 

 come up, they muft be thinned 

 where they are too clofe, and kept 

 clear from Weeds, which is all the 

 Culture they require; for as they 

 are Plants which make no great
