The firit, fecond, and fourth Sorts 

 are very common in mofl Englijh 

 Gardens : thefeare very hardy Plant*, 

 and eafily propagated either by 

 parting their Roo.s, or from Seed ; 

 if by parting the Roots, it -fhouid 

 j be done about the Latter-end of Au- 

 \giijl,-Qx the Beginning of S,piemb,r y 

 ithat they nv.iy'uke Root before the 

 (cold Weather comes on : they may 

 'be planted in any Situation, provi- 

 ded they have a light dry Soil. If 

 you would propagate them from 

 tSeeds, they mould be fown mMarcb, 

 Itupon a Bed of frefh light Earth ; and 

 in May the Plants fnould be tranf- 

 planted into another Bed of the like 

 frefh Earth, at about fix Inches Di- 

 stance from each other ; obfcrving 

 to water and made them until they 

 have taken Root ; aftet which they 

 will require no farther Culture than 

 to keep them clear from Weeds. 



At Michaelmas following, thefe 

 Plants may be placed into the large 

 borders of thePleafure-gardenjwhere, 

 heSummer following, they will pro- 

 duce their Flowers in June zndjuly ; 

 tnd foon afi?r,their3eeds will ripen ; 

 vhich, if permitted to Ihed on the 

 Ground, will rile the fucceeding 

 spring, without any Care. 



Thefe Plants, when intermixed 

 vith others of the like Size, make 

 r agreeable Variety during the 

 eafon of Flowering.

The double Rofe Camp-on h 

 fomewhat nicer, and requires more 

 Care in its Culture, than any of the 

 former : this never produces any 

 Seeds, and is therefore only to be 

 propagated by parting the Roots ; 

 the bei: time for which is in Auguft, 

 when the Heads taken off fhouid be 

 planted on a Bed of frefh light Earth; 

 and if the Seafon fhouid prove dry, 

 they miill be water'd and lhaded 

 until they have taken Root : after 

 which they mull be kept clear from 

 Weeds; and, during the Wjnter- 

 Seafon, they fhouid be fcrcen'd from 

 exceflive Raimr.fcr too much Moift- 

 ure, at that Seafcn, very often rots 

 them. In March they may be taken 

 up with a Bali of Earth to tneir 

 Roots, and tranfplanted either into 

 the Borders of the Flower-garden, 

 or in Pots filled with frefh lightEarth, 

 and placed where they may have the 

 morning Sun till Eleven o'Clock ; in 

 which Situation they will thrive bet- 

 ter than when they have more of 

 the Sun. fn dry Weather they mutt 

 be frequently water'd : but yon 

 fnould never let them have too much 

 Wet ; for that will canl>cr and rot 

 them, as will alfo a very rich Soil. 

 This Plant commonly grows about 

 two Feet high, and produces a great 

 Number of beautiful red Flowers in 

 June and July, which continue a 

 long time; for which they are great- 

 ly elleem'd. 



The umbclliferousMountam Cam- 

 pion is nearly akin to the before- 

 mention'd Sorts, but produces its 

 Flowers in an Umbel upon the Top 

 of the Stalks, which are of a bright 

 red Colour, and make a pretty Va- 

 riety in a Garden : thisfeldom grows 

 above eight or nine Inches high, 

 therefore it fhouid he placed amongft 

 Flowers of the fame Growth : it 

 delights in a light frefh undung'd 

 Soil, and fhady Situation; and may
