The three firft Sorts are abiding 

 Plants, which lend for:h ftrong 

 downright Roots very deep into the 

 Earth ; for which Reaibn they 

 fhould not be often removed, which 

 would prevent their growing ftrong, 

 or producing many Flowers. 



They are propagated by Seeds, 

 which fhould be fovvn in the mid- 

 dle of March, upon a Bed of light 

 frelh Earth; covering them about 

 half an Inch deep. But the beft Me- 

 thod is, to make a (hallow Drill in 

 the Ground, and then drop the 

 Seeds therein, about fix Inches Di- 

 flance : thefe Drills mould be a Foot 

 atunder, for the Conveniency of 

 hoeing and cleaning the Ground 

 between them ; which muft conftant- 

 3y be done, otherwife the Weeds 

 will overbear and deftroy them : 

 but they will require no farther 

 Care, being very hardy Plants, un- 

 til the Spring following ; at which 

 time (<&/£. in March J juit before they 

 begin to moot,, the Roots mould be 

 carefuily taken up, and tranfplanted 

 where they are to continue, placing 

 them at leaft three Feet afunder ; 

 otherwife they will over- run each 

 other, or whatever Plants ftand near 

 them. If the Seafon fnould prove 

 dry, you muft give thtm fame Wa- 

 ter, to fettle the Earth to- their 

 Roots ; which (hould be now-and- 

 then repeated, if it continue dry 

 Weather, until the Plants have ta- 

 ke** Root: after which, they will 



L A 



require no farther Culture but t& 

 keep them clear from Weeds, and 

 in the Summer to fupport them with 

 ftrong Stakes, otherwife they will 

 trail upon the Ground, and rot the 

 Branches, and deftroy whatever 

 Plants grow near them. 



Thefe Plants are very proper to 

 plant againft a dead Hedge, where 

 they will run over it ; and if they 

 be kept trained up, will cover it in 

 the Summer, and in fuch Places 

 they will produce great Quantities 

 of Flowers ,• but if they are planted 

 in a Flower garden, they muft have 

 a great deal of room ; and in Sum- 

 mer mould have very ftrong Stakes 

 placed down by them, to which 

 they muft be clofely faften'd, other- 

 wife they will ramble, and trail up- 

 on the Ground, and appear very 

 unfightly; for if the Ground be 

 good in which they are planted, 

 and the Roots are very ftrong, they 

 will fometimes grow eight or ten 

 Feet high in a Seafon, and produce 

 abundance of Flowers; which are 

 very ornamental in Bafons or Pots 

 of Flowers, to place in Chimneys, 

 or other Parts of large Rooms. 

 Thefe prod J ce their Flowers in June 

 and July, and their Seeds are per- 

 fected in Auguft ; their green Leaves 

 decay in Autumn, and rife again 

 the fucceeding Spring, their Roots 

 continuing good for many Years : 

 they delight moft in a light Soil,- 

 not too dry, nor over-wet; but will 

 grow in almoft any Soil or Situa- 

 tion, but beft in that which is ex- 

 posed to the Sun. 



The firft Sort is moft commonly 

 cultivated in the Englijh Gardens ; 

 but the fecond is much preferable 

 to that, as being of humbler Growth, 

 never rmng above hVe Feet high,' 

 and fo is more proper for Flower- 

 gardens ; and the Flowers are much 

 larger, and of a deeper red Colour,
