The fifteen hrft-mentioned Sorts 

 are abiding Plants : the Leaves of 

 fome of them decay in Winter ; but 

 their Roots, remaining, (hoot again 

 early in the Spring : iome of thefe 

 Sorts are common in feveral Parts 

 of England-, yet they defer ve a Place 

 in every good Garden, where, if 

 they are rightly difpofed, they will 

 have a good Effect, by adding to 

 the Variety ; and as they are very 

 hardy Plants, and require but little 

 Care in their Culture, growing in 

 almoft any Soil or Situation, they 

 are very proper for large Gardens, 

 to be p anted in wide Borders, or 

 by the Sides of WildernelTes, and 



other fliady Walks, where few other 

 Plants will thrive ; and thefe con- 

 tinuing in Flower moll Part of the 

 Summer, greatly add to the Beauty 

 of fuch Places. 



Thefe are all increafed by parting 

 their Roots : the beft Seafon for 

 which is in Oftober, that they may 

 take Root before the hard Frofts 

 begin ; or elfe in February, that they 

 may get Strength before the great 

 Heat and Drought come on, which 

 would occafion their Flowers to be 

 fmall, and but few in Number. 

 Thefe Roots may remain two or 

 three Years unremoved, according 

 as you find them increafe and fpread ; 

 for fome Sorts will not fpread fo 

 far in three Years, as others will do 

 in one : whereas, if the fpreading 

 Kinds are fuffered to grow undif- 

 turbed, for two or three Years, they 

 will fpread the whole Width of the 

 Border where they are planted ; fo 

 that if they are not tranfplanted 

 often, their Roots mould be cut 

 round every Year, to keep them 

 within Compafs. 



Thefe Sorts may alfobe propa- 

 gated by Seeds, which they afford 

 every Year in great Plenty : but as 

 they are increaled very faft in the 

 former Way, it is hardly worth 

 while to fow their See.is. 



The fixteenth, feventeenth, and 

 eighteenth Sorts are annual Plants, 

 and mould either be fown every 

 Year, or their Seeds permitted to 

 fcatter themfelves ; the latter of 

 which is the fureil Method : for the 

 Plants will come up in Autumn, foon 

 after the Seeds fall, and will abide 

 the Winter, and flower early the 

 fucceeding Spring; whereby you 

 will always be lure to have their 

 Seeds perfected, which does not con- 

 ftantly happen to thofe fown in the 

 Spring. The fixteenth Sort is pre- 

 ferved in many Gardens, for the
