tranfplanted. They may alfo- be 

 raifed by Cuttings, which fhould be 

 planted in Autumn in amoiit Bor- 

 der, where they may have the morn- 

 ing Sun: but they mult be fcreened 

 from the Violence of the Sun in the 

 Heat of the Day, and frequently 

 watered in dry Weather. The Cut- 

 tings, thus managed, will many of 

 them live, and have Roots fit to be 

 removed in the following Spring: 

 but this Method is feldom practifed, 

 the Layers always making the belt 

 Plants. 



When thefe Plants are removed, 

 they fhould be planted where they 

 are defign'd to be continued ; which 

 ihould be either againlt fome Wall, 

 Pale, or other Fence, where the 

 flexible Branches may be fupported: 

 for altho' it is fometimes planted as 

 a Standard, and fornTd into an 

 Head, yet it will be very difficult to 

 keep it in any handfome Order ; or 

 if you do, you mult cm oiF all the 

 flowering Branches ; for the Flow- 

 ers are always produced at the Ex- 

 tremity of the fame Year's Shoots, 

 which, if fhortenM before the Flow- 

 ers are blown, will intirely deprive 

 the Trees of Flowers. Thefe Plants 

 ihould be permitted to grow rude in 

 the Summer, for the Reafon before 

 given : nor fnould you prune and 

 nail them until the Middle or Lat- 

 ter-end of March, when the frolty 

 Weather is pall; for if it Ihould prove 

 lharp frolty Weather after their rude 

 Branches are pruned off, and the 

 llrong ones are expos'd thereto, they 

 ire very often deltroyed; and this 

 Piant being very backward in lhoot- 

 ing, there will be no Danger of 

 hurting them by hue pruning. 



The two firip'd Sorts ihould be 

 planted in- a warm Situation, efpe- 

 cially the white- llrip'd ; for they are 

 much more lender than the plain, 

 and axe very fubject to be deftrovtd

by great Frofts, if they are expos'd 

 thereto : therefore it will be proper 

 to prelerve a Plant of each kind in 

 Pots, which may be removed into 

 the Green-houfe in Winter, left, by 

 expofing them to the Cold, they 

 fhould all be deftrcyed, and the 

 Variety loft. 



The common yellow Jafmine was 

 formerly in greater Plenty in England 

 than at prelent, and was planted 

 againft Arbours, &c. to cover them, 

 tho' it is not near lb proper for that 

 Purpoie as the white Sort, it being 

 of much flower Growth, nor will it 

 ever extend its Branches lo far as 

 that ; but however, it may have a 

 Place among the flowering Shrubs of 

 low Growth, where it may be with 

 more Eafe reduced to a Standard than 

 the other. This Plant flowers in 

 Max. and J urn ; but they have very 

 little Scent, which has occafioned its 

 being kfs regarded. It may be pro- 

 pagated by Suckers, which it gene- 

 rally produces in great Numbers ; 

 or by Layers, as was directed fo? 

 the comirjon Sort ; and are full as 

 hardy. This Sort feldom riles above 

 five or fix Feet high. 



The Dwarf yellow Jafmine is 

 fomewhat tenderer than the former ; 

 yet will it endure the Cold of our 

 ordinary Winters, if it be planted in 

 a warm Situation. The Flowers of 

 tins Kind are generally larger than 

 thole of the common Sort, and bet- 

 ter fceated ; but are feldom produced 

 fo early in the Seafon. It may be 

 propagated by laying down the ten- 

 der Branches, a£ was directed for the 

 common white Sort ; or by budding 

 or inarching it upon the common 

 yellow Jafmine ; the latter of v. hich 

 is preferable, as making the Plants 

 hardier than thofe which are obtain- 

 ed from Layers : they mould be 

 planted againft a warm Wall ; and 

 ;a very fevere Winters will require
