Winter to place them in a warm Part 

 of the Stove, otherwife they cannot 

 be preferv'd. 



Thefe Plants muft be Ihifted every 

 Summer, and frelh Earth given to 

 them : if the Earth is light and 

 iandy, it will require no Mixture ; 

 tor rich or ftrong Ground is very 

 improper for them ; therefore where 

 the Soil is inclinable to either of 

 thefe, there fhould be a good Mix- 

 ture of Sand and Limc-rubbim, to 

 prevent its binding, or detaining 

 Moifture. 



Thefe Plant? are preferv\J for their 

 odd Appearance amongftother fuccu- 

 lent Plant?, their Leaves being very 

 large, thick, and full of a milky 

 acrid Juice.

All thefe are annual Plants, which 

 perifh foon after they have perfected 

 their Seeds. The firft Sort is found 

 wild in feveral Parts of England: and 

 the fecond Sort has been by fome 

 mention'd as an indigenous Plant of 

 this Country ; but I believe it is no- 

 where found wild, i nlefs where the 

 Seeds have been purpofel.y fcatter'd. 

 Thefe Plants are preferv'd in the 

 Gardens of fome Perfons who are 

 curious in Botany; but there is little 

 Beauty in them. 



They are propagated by Seed*, 

 which fhould be fown in the Au- 

 tumn foon after they are ripe; when 

 the Plants will foon appear, and are 

 very hardy, fo that they require no 

 farther Care, but to keep them clear 

 from Weeds ; and where they come 

 up too clofe together, they mould 

 be thinned fo as to leave them fix 

 Inches afunder. In June following 

 the Plants will flower, and their 

 Seeds will ripen in Augujl ; which, 

 if permitted to fcatter on the Ground, 

 will produce a Supply of Plants with- 

 out any Trouble. If the Seeds of 

 thefe Plants are kept out of the. 

 Ground till Spring, they feldoni 

 fucceed ; for if any Plants are pro- 

 duced
