iThe Ground you intend for the 

 fc'lower-nurfery, inould be well fitu- 

 ated to the Sun ; but defended from 

 ftrong Winds by Plantations of 

 Trees, or Buildings ; and the Soil 

 ihould be light and dry, which muft 

 always be obferved, efpecially for 

 bulbous-rooted Flowers, which are 

 defigned to be planted therein : the 

 Particulars of which are exhibited 

 under the feveral Articles of Flow- 

 ers. 



In thisNurfery mould be planted 

 the OrT-fets of all your bulbous- 

 rooted Flowers, where they are to 

 remain until they become blowing 

 Roots ; when they mould be re- 

 moved into thePleafure-garden, and 

 planted either in Beds or Borders, 

 according to the Goodnefs of the 

 JFlowers, Or the Management which 

 they require. 



You may alfo, in this Ground, 

 raife the feveral Sorts of bulbous- 

 rooted Flowers from Seed, by which 

 means new Varieties may be obtain- 

 ed ; but moll People are difcouraged 

 from letting about this Work, from 

 the Lengtn of Time before the 

 Seedlings will come to flower : how- 

 ever, after aPerfon hath once begun, 

 and conflantly continued fowing 

 every Year, after the Parcel firil 

 fovvn has flower'd, the regular Suc- 

 celiion of them coming annually to 

 flower, will not render this Method 

 fo tedious as it at fir ft appear'd. 



The feedling Auricula's, Polyan- 

 thus 1 ?, Ranunculus's. Anemonies, 

 Carnations, tiff, mould be raifed in 

 this Nurlery, where they mould be 

 preferved until they have flower'd ; 

 when you Ihould mark all fuch as 

 tire worthy of being tranfpJanted 

 nto the Flower - garden ; which 

 ,hould be done in their proper Sea- 

 ons : for it is not fo well to have all 

 Sefe feedling Flowers expofed to 

 lublic View in the Flower-garden ;

becaufe it always happens, that there 

 are great Numbers of ordinary 

 Flowers produced amongfl: them, 

 which will make but an indifferent

There are fome other Species of 

 this Plant, all of which are Natives 

 of deep-ftanding Waters, and there- 

 fore not to be cultivated in any other 

 Places. 



The bell Method to propagate 

 thefe Plants is, to procure fomc of 

 their Seed-vefiels jufl as they are 

 ripe, and reaiy to open : thefe 

 mould be thrown inro Canals, or 

 large Ditches of landing Water, 

 where the Seeds will fink to the 

 Bottom; and the following Spring 

 the Plants wit! appear floating upon 

 the Surface of the Water, and in 

 June and July will produce their 

 beautiful large Flowers. When they 

 are once fix'd to the Place, they will 

 multiply exceedingly, fo as to cover
