The firft, fecond, and third Kinds 

 are annual Plants : the firfl is very 

 hardy, and may be preferved in a 

 Garden, by fuffering the Seeds to 

 fall when ripe, which will come up 

 in the fucceeding Spring much bet- 

 ter than when preferved and fown 

 with Care ; for it rarely happens, 

 that thofe which are fown in the 

 Spring grow ; fo that if it be in- 

 tended to be had in a different Place 

 from that where the Plants grew the 

 precedingYear, the Seeds ought to be 

 fown foon after they are ripe ; which 

 mould be in the Place where they 

 are to remain ; for thefe Plants fel- 

 dom thrive well when tranfplanted, 

 efpecially if it be not performed 

 while the Plants are young. 



This Plant produces its Flowers 

 in June, and the Seeds ripen in Aw

 nor are they often cultivated but in 

 Botanic Gardens for Variety-fake.
