ties of Flowers : thefe delight in a 

 frefh light dry Soil. 



The feventeenih is a biennial 

 Plant, and is only propagated by 

 Se~ds, which fhouid be i'own on a 

 jBorder of freih light Earth inMarch; 

 and when the Plants are come up, 

 they mould be tranfplanted ; fome 

 of which mould be planted in Pots 

 filled with the fame frefh Earth, that 

 they may be removed under Shelter 

 in Winter : for it often happens, in 

 fevere Winters, that thole Plants 

 which are placed in the open Air 

 are deilroyed ; for which Reafon it 

 is advifeable to have feme of the 

 Plants in Shelter to fecure theKind. 



The other Plants may be planted 

 in a Nurfery-bed, as was directed 

 for the former Kinds, where they 

 may remain until Michaelmas ; at 

 which time they mould be tranf- 

 planted into warm Borders, and in 

 a light dry Soil ; where they will 

 endure the Cold of our ordinary 

 Winters very well, and flower very 

 ftrongthe fucceeding Summer. This 

 Plant commonly grows three Feet 

 high, and is apt to branch out pret- 

 ty much : therefore fhouid be fup- 

 ported by Stakes, otherwife the 

 Wind often breaks down the Flow- 

 er-Items before the Seeds are per- 

 feded. 



The eighteenth Sort is alfo ten- 

 der : this may be propagated by fo ty- 

 ing tne Seeds in the fame manner as 

 the former ; and when the Plants 

 come up, fome of them mould be 

 planted into Pots filled with light 

 frem unuungM Earth, that they may 

 be fhelter'd in Winter ; and the reft 

 planted into a Nurfery-bed, which 

 fhoMid be prepared of frefh light 

 Earth that has not been dung'd ; for 

 Moiilure an4- Richntfs in the Soil 

 wiil deftroy them. In this Place 

 they may remain till Michaelmas, 

 then they fhouid be removed into

very warm Borders ; and if they ?re 

 placed quite dole to the Wall, where 

 it is commonly very dry, they will 

 fucceed the better ; as alfo planted 

 on a dry rubbilhy Soil ; for the 

 Leaves of this Plant are very thie'e 

 and fucculent, as are all the Sttms, 

 fo that it is as impatient of Wet as 

 the Sedum or Houfeleek ; and I do 

 not certainly know whether this 

 Plant would not bear a greater Share 

 of Cold, if it was planted upon an 

 old Wall or Building, where it 

 might be always dry, and not have 

 too much Nourifhment from the 

 Ground. The following Summer 

 this Plant will produce its Flowers 

 (which, though they are not very 

 beautiful, yet, for the Oddnels of the 

 Plant, it may have a Place in a good 

 Garden), and the Seeds generally 

 ripen in Augujl : it may alio be pro- 

 pagated by planting Cuttings in 

 any of the Summer-months, which 

 will take Root, and may be after- 

 wards managed as the Seedling- 

 plants. 



The myrtle-leav'd fhrulby Cam- 

 pion may be propagated by Seeds, 

 as the former ; or increafed by 

 planting Cuttings in any of the Sum- 

 mer-months, which will foon after 

 take Root, and become ffrong 

 Plants ; fome of which fhouid be 

 planted in Pots, that they may be 

 fhelter'd in Winter, for fear of being 

 loft ; though they will endure the 

 Cold of our Climate very well, if 

 planted on a dry Soil. There is no 

 great Beauty in this Plant ; but it is 

 preferved for Variety -lake in feveral 

 curious Gardens. 



The twenty-feventh and twenty- 

 eighth Sorts are abiding Plants, and 

 may be propagated either by Seeds, 

 or parting their R.oot c , in the man- 

 ner which has been directed for the 

 Rofe Campion, and other Sorts be- 

 i ore -mentioned : they are very 



hardy,
