are propagated by Seeds : the Sea- 

 fon for fowing them is in March, 

 upon a Bed of frefh light Earth ; and 

 *,vhen the Plants are come up, you 

 muft carefully clear them from 

 Weeds ; and, in very dry Weather, 

 they muft be now-and-then refrehYd 

 wifh Water. When they are about 

 two Inches high, you muft tranf- 

 plant them into the Places where 

 they are defign'd to remain, which 

 ihould be in the middle of the Bor- 

 ders in the Flower-garden ; for, if 

 the Soil be good, they will grow 

 two or three Feet high : in tranf- 

 pianting 'them, you muft take them 

 up very carefully, preferving a Ball 

 of Earth to their Roots, other- 

 wife they are apt to mifcarry : 

 and alfo water and made them until 

 they have taken Root ; after which 

 they will require no other Care but 

 to clear them from Weeds, and to 

 fallen them to Stakes, to prevent 

 their being injur'd by ftrong Winds. 

 You may alfo fow their Seeds in Au- 

 tumn ; and when the Plants are 

 come up, tranfplant them inro fmall 

 Pots, which, toward the End of 

 Oclober, mould be placed into a com- 

 mon Hot - bed - frame, where the 

 Plants, being defended from fevere 

 Frofts, will abide the Winter very 

 well j and in the Spring, you may 

 make them out ~>f the Pots, and plant 

 them into larger, or elfeinto the full 

 Ground, where they may remain to 

 flower. The Plants, thus manag'd, 

 will be larger, and flower ftronger 

 and earlier, than thofe fown in the 

 Spring; and from thefe you will 

 conftantly have good Seeds ; where- 

 as thofe fown in the Spring fome- 

 times mifcarry. When the Seeds of 

 thefe Plants are fown in the Spring, 

 it mould be in the Place where they 

 are to remain ; for they do not well 

 bear removing in the Summer. 

 Thefe produce their Flowers in 



L A 



June, July, and Augufi\ and the'r 

 Seeds ripen foon after. 



They are very ornamental Plants 

 in a fine Garden, when placed among 

 other Annuals, either in Pots or Bor- 

 ders : their Flowers are very like 

 thofe of the Mallow ; but are larger, 

 and of a more beautiful Colour.
