fweet Scent its Leaves afford when 

 rabbed between the Fingers, which 

 occafioned its being called Mufk or 

 Mu/covy. There is but little Beauty 

 in the Flowers of this Plant ; how- 

 ever, it may be admitted to have a 

 Place in fome odd Corner, or fhady 

 Border, in a Garden, for Variety, it 

 being very hardy, and will thrive 

 in almoit any Soil or Situation. 



The feventeenth and eighteenth 

 Sorts produce very handfome 

 Flowers ; and as they are Plants 

 which take up but little room, and 

 require very little Trouble to culti- 

 vate them, it is worth while to allow 

 them a Place, for Variety, in fome 

 Corner of the Garden, thefe being 

 both as hardy as the former Sort. 



The nineteenth, twentieth,twenty- 

 firft, twenty- fecond, twenty- third, 

 twenty-fourth, twenty-fixth, twenty - 

 feventh, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, 

 thirtieth, and thirty-firit. Sorts are 

 Natives of a warmer Climate than 

 ours, and require to be Iheltered in 

 Winter. 



Thefe, being all fhrubby Plants, 

 may be propagated by planting 

 their Cuttings, any time in Sum- 

 mer, in a Bed of light fre(h Earth ; 

 obferving to water and ihade them 

 until they have taken Root, wh:ch 

 will be m about a Month's time after 

 planting ; being careful to take off 

 the Mats, or other Covering, every 

 Night, that the Cuttings may have 

 the Benefit of the Dews ; as alio, 

 whenever there may happen to be 

 any Showers in the Day time, never 

 to cover them but when the Sun 

 mines very hot upon the Bed. 



In this Place they may remain 

 two Months from their fir ft planting, 

 by which time they will be rooted 

 fumcienc for tranfplanting : you 

 muft therefore prepare fome Pots; 

 thefe Ihould be filled, with frefn light 



Earth ; and having taken the Plan** 

 up, with as much Earth as polTible 

 to their Roots, you mould plant each , 

 Plant into a feparate Pot, removing 

 them into a fhady Situation, until 

 they have taken frefti Root, obferv- 

 ing to water them frequently, as 

 they may have Occafion: and whea 

 they are rooted, you mould remove 

 them to a more expofed Situation 

 to harden them ; in which Place 

 they mould remain until the Middle 

 of Oftober, when the Mornings be- 

 gin to be frofty ; at which time the/ 

 ought to be removed into theGreen- 

 houie, where they mould be placed 

 as near the Windows as poiliole; 

 obferving to let the Windows be 

 open, that they may have as much 

 free Air as poiiible, until the Wea- 

 ther begins to be very cold. 



Thefe Plants, during the Winter- 

 feafon, will require to be often re- 

 freshed withWater ; but they mould 

 never have too much given them 

 at once : they ihould alfo be fre- 

 quently pick'd, to take off all dead 

 or decayed Leaves, which, if fuf- 

 fered to remain upon them, w ill not 

 only render the Plants unfightly, but 

 alfo infect the Air of the Gretn^ 

 houfe, efpecially when the Windows 

 are kept fhut clofe, and thereby be- 

 come injurious to all the Plants 

 placed therein. 



You mull alio obferve to fet thefe 

 whers they may be clear from the 

 Heads of other Plants ; for they 

 will by no means bear to be ftifled„ 

 which would caufe them to call their 

 Leaves : nor do they require to be 

 kept very warm in Winter ; for if 

 they are but fcreened from the Frofr, 

 it will be fufficient; and all artificial 

 Warmths are prejudicial to thefe 

 Plants. 



The twenty -ninth Sort is very 

 fubject to call its Leaved in Autumn,
