 other Sorts, and have a more agree- 

 able Scent. 



They may be propagated from 

 Suckers, as trie former ; but as they 

 feldom produce them in fuch Plenty, 

 hence the moil expeditious Method 

 is, to propagate them by Layers, 

 which will take Root in one Year fit 

 to tranfplantj and the 'Plants thus 

 raifed will have better Roots, and 

 not To liable to put out Suckers as 

 the other ; fo mould be preferred to 

 them. 



The Sort with white Flowers is 

 an accidental Variety from the other ; 

 and having pale Flowers, inclining 

 to white, is prefer ved by the Nur- 

 fery-gardeners, for the fake of \ a- 

 riety. 



The cut-leav'd Sort differs from 

 the other in having many of its 

 Leaves deeply cut into feveral Seg- 

 ments ; the Flowers are alfo of a 

 brighter purple Colour, and make a 

 finer Appearance. 



Thefe are very hardy Shrubs, and 

 will grow in almoft any Situation ; 

 but they thrive belt on a light loamy 

 Soil. They flower in May, and 

 their Flowers are of longer Duration 

 than thofe of the common Lilac.
