Boxes, you mould prepare a Bed or 

 two of freih light Earth, tn propor- 

 tion to the Quantity of your young 

 Plants ; and after levelling the Sur- 

 face very even, you fhould fpread 

 the Earth of the Pots, in which the 

 Roots are contained, as equal as pof- 

 fible upon the Beds (for the Roots at 

 this time will be too fmall to be 

 eafily taken up), covering the Bed 

 about half an Inch thick with light 

 fifted Earth ; and the Spring follow- 

 ing, when the Plants begin to come 

 up, you mull Mir the Ground upon 

 the Surface to loofen it, and carefully 

 clear the Beds from Weeds. In thefe 

 Beds they may remain (obferving in 

 Autumn to fift fome frelh Earth over 

 the Surface) until the fourth Year, 

 by which time they will begin to 

 mew their Flowers : therefore you 

 may now obferve to mark out all 

 the belt Kinds as they blow, which 

 may the fucceeding Year be tranf- 

 planted into the Pleafure-garden ; 

 but the poorer Kinds mould be 

 thrown out as not worth preferving: 

 for the good Sorts will foon mul- 

 tiply, and furnifh you with a fuf- 

 ficient Stock from Off-fets. 



The Indian Cornflag is tender, 

 and muft be preferved in a warm 

 Green-houfe, or a moderate Stove, 

 during the Winter- feafon. Thefe 

 Roots mould be planted in Pots 

 filled with a light fandy Soil. The 

 belt time to tranfplant them is from 

 the Month of May, at which time 

 their green Leaves decay til {September, 

 that they begin to moot again ; and 

 in Ottober the Pots mould be remo- 

 ved into the Green-houfe : and du- 

 ring their Seafon of Growth, which 

 is chiefly in Winter, they muft be 

 frequently watered ; but you nvaft 

 not give them Water in large Quan- 

 tities : during the Summer- feafon, 

 if they are fufFered to remain in the 

 Pots, they mould have little Moifture, 



but be only removed to a fliadyPlacc" 

 for much Wet, at the time their Roots 

 are inactive, is apt to rot them. 



This Plant but rarely flowers with 

 us ; but when it doth, it makes a 

 beautiful Appearance in the Green- 

 houfe, efpecially coming in January, 

 when few other Flowers appear, 

 which renders it worthy of a Place 

 in every curious Garden.
