for the Colours of their Flowers, are 



worth propagating in fmall Patches 

 in Paddocks , where they will af- 

 ford an agreeable Variety, if they 

 are permitted to flower. 



The twentieth and twenty-firft 

 Sorts are alfo annual Plants, which 

 are prefervM in Botanic Gardens for 

 Variety ; but they are not cultivated 

 for Ufe. 



The twenty-fecond Sort is fre- 

 quently found growing on chalky 

 JLands, in feveral Parts of England ; 

 and is now cultivated in fome Coun- 

 ties, in the fame manner as the com- 

 mon Red Clover. This Sort will 

 thrive much better than the Red 

 Clover, upon dry chalky Lands; fo 

 is very proper for fuch Places. It 

 will grow rail as large as the Red ; 

 the Leaves and Stalks are fucculent, 

 and the Feed is full as fweet as the 

 common Clover. The fimple Title 

 of Trefoil is ufually apply 'd to this 

 Sort ; though, a5 I before obferv'd, 

 the Seedfmen fell the Hop clover for 

 this, whenever it is demanded. 



The twenty-third, twenty-fourth, 

 and twenty-fifth Sorts are alfo pre- 

 ferv'd in Gardens for V ariety ; where 

 they are planted in Pots, and Ihel- 

 ter'd in Winter amongft other Exo- 

 tic Plants ; but the twenty-third and 

 twenty-fourth Sorts will endure the 

 Cold of our ordinary Winters in the 

 open Air, provided they are planted 

 on a dry Soil, and in a warm Situa- 

 tion ; but the twenty-fifth Sort re- 

 quires to be ftielter'd from fevere 

 Frofr. and to have as much free Air 

 as poflible in mild Weather. 



Theie Plants may be propagated 

 either from Seeds, or by planting 

 Cuttings of them in the Spring, 

 upon a Bed of rich light Earth, 

 obferving to water and made 

 them until they have taken Root ; 

 after which ihey mull be carefully 

 cleared from Weeds during the Sum-

mer-feafon ; and in Augujl fome c 

 the Plants mould be taken up, an 

 planted in Pots filPd with light land 

 Earth; which in Winter Ihould b 

 plac'd under a common Hot -bed 

 frame, where they may have Air i 

 mild Weather ; but in frolty Wea 

 ther may be flielter'd with Glafle; 

 ii' c. If they are propagated fron 

 Seeds, thefe.lhould be fown towar< 

 the Latter-end of March upon a Be< 

 of light Earth ; and when the Plant 

 are come up, they mult be carefull; 

 clear'd from Weeds, that they maj 

 not be overborne thereby ; anc 

 when they are about four Inche 

 high, they mould be planted eithei 

 into Pots, or the Borders where the) 

 are to remain ; becaufe if they an 

 fuffer'd to grow very rank befon 

 they are remov'd, they do not beaj 

 tranfplanting fo well. Thefe Plant! 

 are preferv'd in Gardens more foj 

 the fake of Variety, than any real 

 Beauty, efpecially the two firft: 

 which fmell fo ftrong of Bitumen, 

 when bruifed, aslcarcely to be borne 

 without Uneafinefs. 



TRIOSTEOSPERMUM, Dr.
