Gardens; which is propagated by 

 planting Slips or Cuttings in any of 

 the Spring-months, obferving to 

 water and made them until they have 

 taken Root ; after which they may 

 be remov'd to the Places where they 

 are to remain. 



The {traw-colour'd Wall-flower 

 with double Flowers was formerly 

 more common in the Englifi Gar- 

 dens than at prefent : this is a much 

 finer Sort for Shew than the com- 

 mon, the Plants generally growing 

 more upright ; and the Spikes of 

 Flowers are much larger, and grow 

 much clofer together, than thofe : 

 but the Flowers have very little 

 Scent ; which, I fuppofe, has oc- 

 cafion'd its being lefs cultivated than 

 it was formerly ; though indeed, for 

 Shew, it is inferior to none of the 

 Sorts of Wail-flowers : this is alfo 

 propagated by Slips, as the common 

 Sort. 



The white Wall-flower is propa- 

 gated by fovving the Seeds in April, 

 in the manner before directed for the 

 Stock-gilliflowers ; and if the Seeds 

 are good, there will be many dou- 

 ble Flowers produc'd amongft them ; 

 which may be continu'd, by plant- 

 ing the Slips in the fame manner as 

 has been directed for the common 

 Wall -flower. But the double of this 

 Kind, being fomewhat tenderer than 

 the other Sorts of Wall-fiowers, 

 mould be planted into Pots fili'd 

 with frefh light Earth ; and- in the 

 Winter-feafon (hould be plac'd un- 

 der an Flot-bed frame, where they 

 may be fhelter'd from fevere Frolts ; 

 but in mild Weather they mould 

 have as much free open Air as poffi- 

 ble ; in which Management they 

 will endure two or three Years, and 

 produce fair Flowers. 



The large-flowering Wall-flower 

 is alfo propagated by Seeds in the 

 f^me manner as the Stock-gilliflow-

ers ; for' though it will grow from 

 Slips, yet thefe feldom make fo 

 good Plants as thofe produc'd from 

 Seeds, nor will they flower fo ftrong. 

 This Sort rarely produces many 

 double Flowers ; but yet is well 

 worth propagating, for the Large- 

 nefs and Sweetnefs of its Flowers j 

 and if they are planted in a very- 

 poor dry Soil, will continue two or 

 three Years, and endure the Cold 

 extremely well. 



The Ra<venal Wall -flower is at 

 prefent in the greater!: Efteem with 

 the curious Florills, the Flowers of 

 this Kind being full as large as the 

 laft mention'd Sort, and are of a 

 fine redifli or iron Colour on the 

 Outfide, as alfo of an extraordinary 

 Sweetnefs; and this is more apt to 

 produce double Flowers than the 

 former: it is propagated by Seeds, 

 which mould be fown in MarWf 

 and manag'd as was directed for the 

 Stock-gilliflower ; obferving never 

 to plant them in a rich Soil, which 

 will caufe them to grow very faff, 

 during the Summer-feafon ; but they 

 feldom endure the Winter in fuch 

 Soils. The double-flower'd Plants 

 of this Kind may alto be propagated 

 by Slips, in the fame manner as the 

 before mention'd Sorts; but thefe 

 mould be fhelter'd in Winter, as 

 was directed for the white Wall- 

 flower, otherwife they are fubject to 

 be kiil'd by very (harp Frofts. The 

 Seeds of this Kind mould be often 

 chang'd, or elfe they will greatly 

 degenerate. 



The old double-bloody Wall-flow- 

 er was formerly more common in 

 England than at prefent, it being 

 at this time rarely to be feen : this 

 is a Variety of the common double 

 Wall -flower, from which it only 

 differs in having the Outfide of the 

 Petals of a bloody Colour : it may 

 be propagated by Slips, as the com- 

 mon
