their Places of Growth, by fuch who 

 3re fond of thefe Flowers. 



The ninth Sort is preferv'd in fome 

 curious Gardens for Variety ; but 

 there is no Scent in its Flowers ; fo 

 that it hardly merits a Place in curi- 

 ous Flower-gardens. 



The tenth Sort differs from the 

 common Violet, in having large 

 hairy Leaves ; and the Flowers have 

 not fo good Flavour : but this Sort 

 is frequently cultivated in Gardens, 

 and the Flowers are brought to the 

 Markets ; tho 1 they are not near fo 

 good for Ufe as the common Sort. . 



The eleventh has oblong pointed 

 Leaves, in which it differs from the 

 laft: the Flowers of this Sort have 

 no Flavour; fo are unfit for Ufe. 



The twelfth, thirteenth, four- 

 teenth, and fifteenth Sorts are Va- 

 rieties of the common Violet with 

 double Flowers : thefe are worthy 

 of a Place in every good Garden, on 

 account of their fine double fweet- 

 fmelling Flowers, efpecially as they 

 require no other Culture ihan the 

 common Violet: but thefe Sorts do 

 not produce their Flowers in great 

 Plenty, unlefs they are planted in a 

 ftrong Soil, and an open airy Situa- 

 tion ; for in fmall or clofe Gardens 

 tney do not flower near fo well, as 

 where they have a clear open Air. 



The eleven next-mention'd Sorts 

 a^ree with the Hearts-eafe or Pan- 

 fies more than with the other Kinds 

 of Violet : the feventeenth, eigh- 

 teenth, twenty -firft, and twenty- 

 third Sorts are perennial Plants, 

 which may be propagated by parting 

 their Roots ; the beil time for doing 

 of this is at Michaelmas, that they 

 may be well rooted before the Spring: 

 thefe delight in Shade and Moifture, 

 therefore mould be planted on a 

 North Border ; and in dry Weather 

 they muft be duly water'd, other- 

 wife they 'will not thrive. The 



eighteenth Sort grows wild in the 

 North of England, upon moilt Moun- 

 tains: the twenty-firft and twenty- 

 third Sorts are only Varieties of this, 

 di Bering in the Colour of their Flow- 

 ers. 



The nineteenth is the common 

 Panfy or Hearts-eafe, of which there 

 are a great Number of Varieties : 

 thefe are all annual Plants, which 

 fcatter their Seed*, and propagate 

 themfelves in plenty, where they are 

 permitted to Hand : the twentieth 

 Sort is by much the molt valuable, 

 the Flowers of this being larger, the 

 Colours very beautiful, and the Scent 

 almoft equal to the common Violet- 

 flower. 



Thefe Sorts will fcatter their Seeds 

 in a (hort time after their Flowers 

 are part ; and the Plants which come 

 up in Autumn will flower very early 

 in the Spring ; and thefe will be 

 fucceeded by the Spring-plants ; fo 

 that where they are indulged in a 

 Garden, there will be a conftant 

 SuccefTion of their Flow<-s the great- 

 eft Part of the Year ; f or they will 

 flower all the Winter in mild Sea- 

 fons, and m oft Part of the Summer 

 in fhady Situations; which renders 

 them worthy of a Place in every good 

 Garden : but then they muft not be 

 be allowed to fpread too far, left 

 they become troublefome Weeds ; 

 for their Seeds, when ripe, are caft 

 out of their Covers with great Ela- 

 fticity to a confiderable Diftance ; 

 and the Plants will foon fpread over 

 a large Space of Ground, if they are 

 permitted to fland. 



The common Panfy ftands in the 

 College -Difpenfaton, as a medicinal 

 Piant ; but is rarely ufed in England. 



The twenty - feventh, twenty - 

 eighth, and twenty -ninth Sorts are 

 Natives of Virginia, Nenv- England, 

 and feveral Other Parts of North- 

 America from whence fome of the
