in the Spring on the Borders where 

 they are to remain ; and then all the 

 Care required will be, to clear them 

 from Weeds, and thin the Plants 

 where they come up too clofe : but 

 thofe Plants which come up in Au- 

 tumn, may be tranfplanted out the 

 Beg'nning of March * at which time 

 they will foon take Root, and then 

 will require no farther Culture but 

 to keep them clear from Weeds. 

 Thefe Plants continue a long time 

 in Flower, efpecially the fixth Sort ; 

 which renders them worthy of a 

 Place in every large Garden. 



The twenty-fifth, forty-fourth, 

 forty-fifth, and forty-fixth Sons arc 

 mrubby Plants, which rife to the 

 Height of four or live Feet, and their 

 Stems become woody. Thefe are 

 Natives of the Archipelago, from 

 whence their Seeds have been fent to 

 feveral curious Botanic Gardens ; but 

 at preient they are very rare in Eng- 

 land. They may be propagated by 

 fowing of their Seeds in March, on 

 a warm Border of frefh Earth ; and 

 when the Plants are come up, they 

 mull be carefully weeded, and when 

 they have acquired Strength enough, 

 they fliould be carefully taken up, 

 and each tranfplanted into a feparate 

 fmall Pot filled with frefh light Earth, 

 and placed in the Shade until they 

 have taken new Root ; when they 

 may be returned into an open Situa- 

 tion, where they may remain till Oc- 

 tober following: after this they lhould 

 be treated in the fame manner, as 

 hath been direcled for the third, fifth, 

 C5r. as may all the Eaftcrn Kinds. 



The following Spring a few Plants 

 of each Kind may be ihaken out of 

 the Pots, and planted in warm dry 

 Borders, where they will live thro' 

 the Winter, provided the Froll is not 

 very fevere ; and thefe Plants will 

 flower much ftronger than thofe in 

 Sots ; but it will be proper to keep 



J A 



two Plants of each Kind in Pots to 

 be fheltered in Winter, for fear thofe 

 abroad lhould be deltroyed, that the 

 Kinds may be preferved. 



Thefe Plants feldom produce good 

 Seeds in this Country ; fo that when 

 the Plants are obtained, they may 

 be propagated by Cuttings, which, 

 mould be planted about the Middle 

 of June on a lhady Border ; where, if 

 they are duly watered, they will 

 take Root in about two Months ; 

 but it will be proper to let them re- 

 main in the fame Border until the 

 Beginning of Scpttmber, when they 

 fliould be carefully taken up, and 

 planted into Pots, and placed in the 

 Shade until they are rooted : then 

 they may be ex'pofed in an open 

 Situation till the Middle or Latter- 

 end of October, when they fliould be 

 removed into Shelter, and managed 

 as hath been direcled for thofe Plants 

 which are railed from Seeds. In 

 Summer thefe Plants will flower, 

 when they will afford an agreeable 

 Profped, if they are placed among 

 other hardy Exotic Plants ; and as 

 they are ever- green, they add to the 

 Variety in Winter.
