Jan. 1806. 
This work is intended for those 
who take delight in plants, but have 
not the advantage of a gardener who 
understands them : I have therefore 
delineated a select number of such 
plants, as are remarkable for their 
beauty, their odour, or some pecu- 
liarity in their oeconomy ; and I have 
added to each the Linnean name, 
and a short account of the most ap- 
proved mode of cultivating it: this 
is the principal object of my work, 
such as it is : but there are several 
subordinate objects, of which one is 
the very obvious use of correct draw-
