pruned, when you mould cut off all 

 decay'd Branches ; but you mart not 

 fhorten any of the other Branches, as 

 was directed for the Spanijh Sort ; 

 for the Flowers of this Kind are pro- 

 duced only at the Extremity of the 

 Branches, which if (hor^ened, they 

 would be cut off; and thefe growing 

 of a more ligneous Subitance than 

 the other, will not produce Shoots 

 (Irons enough to Hower the fame 

 Year. 



If you would propagate this Plant 

 from Layers, the Shoots mould be 

 laid down in March ; and if you give 

 them a little Cut at the Joint, as is 

 practifed in laying of Carnations, it 

 will promote their Rooting : you 

 fhould always obferve to refrelh them 

 often with Water, when the Weather 

 js dry ; which if carefully attended 

 to, the Plants will be rooted by the 

 fucceeding- Spring, fit to be trans- 

 planted, when they mult be planted 

 in Pots filled with light Earth, and 

 managed as was before directed for 

 the Seedling-plants. 



This Sort is frequently propaga- 

 ted by inarching the young Shoots 

 into Stocks of the common yellow 

 Jafmine ; but the Plants fo raifed do 

 not grow fo itrong as thofe which 

 are upon their own Stock : befides, 

 the common yellow Jafmine is very- 

 apt to fend out a great Number of 

 Suckers from rhe Root, which ren- 

 ders the Plants uniightly : and if 

 thefe Suckers are not constantly 

 taken off, as they are produced, they 

 will rob the Plants of their Nourilh- 

 ment. 



The A%orian Jafmine is alfo pret- 

 ty hardy, and requires no more Shel- 

 ter than only from hard Frolh ; and 

 I am apt to think, if this Sort was 

 planted againu a warm Wall, aud 

 managed, as hath been directed for 

 the yellow Indian Jafmir.e, it would 

 fucceed very well ; lor I remember 



J A 



to have feen fome Plants of this 

 Kind growing againft a Wall in the 

 Gardens at Ham p ton -Co art, wheie 

 they had endured the Winter, and 

 were in a more flourilhing State 

 than any I have feen in Pots, 

 and produced a greater Quantity of 

 Flowers. Thefe Plants are propa- 

 gated in the fame manner as the yel- 

 low Indian, and require the fame 

 Management. The Flowers of this 

 Kind are fmall ; but being produced 

 in large Bunches, make an hand- 

 fome Figure, and are of a very- 

 agreeable Scent ; and the Leaves be- 

 ing large, and of a mining-green 

 Colour, add to the Beauty of the 

 Plant very much. 



The llex-leav'd Jafmine is by Dr. 

 Linn,cui removed from this Genus, 

 and joined to the Cawara of P/u~ 

 mier, under the Title of Lantana 5 

 which is an old Name applied by 

 many Authors to the common f%~ 

 burmm % under which Title I have 

 alio placed it. 



The Arabian Jafmines of both 

 Sorts are commonly brought into 

 England from Genoa every Spring 

 amonglt the Spanijh Jafmines. Thefe 

 are all grafted upon the common 

 Jafmine- ltock, as are the Spanijh ; 

 but being much tenderer than thofe, 

 are very often greatly injured in 

 their Paflage, which is always in the 

 Wmter-fealon j fo that you mould 

 carefully examine them (when you 

 purchaie them of the Italia?is t who 

 bring them over) to fee if their 

 Grafts are frefh and found ; if fo, 

 there is little Danger of their fuc- 

 ceeding. Thefe mull be put into 

 Water, and warned, pruning their 

 Roots and Branches, and planting 

 them as was direcled for the Spanijh 

 Jafmines ; to which I fhall refer the 

 Reader, to avoid Repetition. 



Thefe Plants are more tender than 

 any of the Sorts before-mentioned, 



and
