fiower garden ; where they are some of .the 
principal ornaments, from the beginning of 
Julv to the middle of x\ugust. This is parti- 
cularly the case, where the several colours are 
properly intermixed : for the Flakes, and 
Bizarrs, should be intermixed" with the Pic- 
queties ; and not planned separate, unless 
where iniended for seeds, when the finest of. 
each sort should be planted in beds at a distance/ 
from each other, that they may be kept dis- 
tincl:. Where the sorts are blended together, 
there will be an admixtuieof their farina; so 
that the seeds will vary, and not produce the 
particular kinds: though Flake Flowers arc 
never known to arise from Picquettes, nor 
Picquettes from Flakes.
