a fhady Situation ; obferving not to 

 fow the Seeds too thick, nor mould 

 they be covered too deep. In the 

 Spring the Plants will appear, when 

 thev (hould be carefully weeded ; 

 and if the Seafor mould prove very 

 dry, they fhould be novv-and-then 

 reffeftv-d with Water, which will 

 greatly promote the Growth of the 

 Plants : toward the Beginning of 

 May, if you find the Plants come 

 up too clofe together, you fhould 

 prepare a moiit. fhady Border (and 

 thin the Plants carefully, leaving 

 them about four Inches afunder) ; 

 and plant thofe which you draw up, 

 into the Border about fix Inches 

 apart every Way, being careful to 

 water them duly, if the Seafon mould 

 prove dry, until they have taken 

 Root ; after which time, thefe Plants 

 (as alfo thofe remaining in the Seed- 

 beds) will require no other Culture 

 but to keep them clear from Weeds; 

 which may be eafily effected by hoe- 

 ing the Ground between the Plants 

 now-and-rhenin dry Weather, which 

 will deuroy the Weeds ; 2nd by ftir- 

 i ring the Ground, will be of great 

 Service to the Plants. The follow- 

 ing Autumn thefe Plants fliould be 

 tranfplanted where they are defigned 

 to remain ; which mould be in a rich 

 moift Soil, and a fhady Situation ; 

 where they will thrive much better, 

 than if too much expofed to the Sun,, 

 or in a dry Soil ; for they delight in 

 Shade and Moifture ; fo that where 

 thefe are wanting, the Plants will 

 require a conftant Supply of Water 

 in dry Weather, otherwife they will 

 thrive but (lowly. The I/fttance 

 which thefe Plants mould be placed, 

 mull not be lefs than twenty Inches, 

 or two Feet every Wa;*; for where 

 they like their Situation, they will 

 fpread and increafe very much. 

 When thefe Plants are rooted, they 

 will requirs no other Culture,: but to 



I N 



keep them clear from Weeds ; ancf 

 in the Spring before they flicot, the 

 Ground fhould be every Year gen- 

 tly dug between the Plants; in doirg 

 of which great Care mould be had, 

 not to cut or bruife their Roots : 

 thefe Plants, with this Management, 

 will continue feveral Years, and will 

 produce Seeds in plenty. 



If you would propagate tfiefe 

 Plants by Off- fets,. their Roots mould 

 be parted at Michaelmas, and plant- 

 ed in a fhady Situation, at the fame 

 Diftance as has been directed for the 

 Seedhng-plants, obferving to water 

 them until they have taken Root ; 

 after which time they mull: be ma- 

 naged as the Seedlings. 



The other two Sorts are preferved 

 in Botanic Gardens for the fake of 

 Variety ; but as they are not ufed in 

 Phyfic, nor are ornamental Plants,, 

 fo they are feldom allowed a Place 

 in other Gardens. Thefe two Sorts 

 may be propagated in the fame man- 

 ner as the former, and are both 

 equally hardy ; fo that they may be 

 placed. in any fhady moift cold Situa- 

 tion, where they will thrive very 

 well. 



INARCHING is a Method of 

 Grafting, which is commonly call'd 

 Grafting by Approach. This Method 

 of Grafting is ufed, when the Stock 

 you intend to graft on, and the Tree 

 from which you would take the 

 Graft, (land fo near (or can be 

 brought fo near), that they may be 

 joined together. The Method of 

 performing it is as follows : Take 

 the Branch you would inarch, and 

 having fitted it to that Part of the 

 Stock where you intend to join it* 

 pare away the Rind and Wood on 

 one Side about three Inches in 

 Length. After the fame manner 

 cut the Stock or Branch in the Place 

 where the Graft is to be united, fo 

 that, the Rind of both may join 

 equally
