All thefe Sorts of Hermannia are 

 Natives of the Cape of Good Hope, 

 from whence they hive been brought 

 into the European Gardens. 



The fourth Sort is the moft com- 

 mon in Europe, and was the firft 

 known in the Gardens : this will 

 grow to the Height of eight or ten 

 Feet: the Branches generally grow 

 ei eft, and the Stem becomes woody : 

 but the Flowers of this Sort, being 

 of a whitim - green Colour, make 

 but little Appearance. 



The firft and fecond Sorts do 

 not grow lb high as the other, and. 

 flioot their Branches more horizon- 

 tally. Thefe produce their Flowers 

 in fmall -pikes, from the End of 

 their Branches, which are of a yel- 

 low Colo.r ; and in the Month of 

 April, when they flower, make a 

 fine Appearance in theGreen-houfe. 



The third, fifth, fixth,and feventh 

 Sorts are yet of humbler Growth 

 than either of the other. Thefe fel- 

 dom grow above three Feet high, 

 end put out many Branches on every 

 Side, fo as to form buihy Heads. 

 The Flo&ers of thefe Sorts are pro- 

 duced in very fmall Clufters, feldom 

 more than three growing together; 

 but thefe continue much longer in 

 Flower than any of the other Sorts; 

 fo make an agreeable V ariety among 

 other hardy Green-houfe Plants. 



Thefe Plants are all propagated 

 by planting Cuttings of them during 

 any of the Summer-month?, in a Bed 

 of frefli light Earth, obfei ving to 

 w r ater and lhade them until they are 

 we'd rooted, which will be in about 

 fix Weeks after planting < then you 

 fhould take their, up, preferving a 

 Eall of Earth to their Roots, -and 

 p'ant them into Pots filled with frefh 

 light Earth, placing them in a fliady 

 Situation
