and fix inches afunder in the rows j but this fliould 
not be performed till April, after the danger of 
hard froft is over ; for as the plants do not put out 
their leaves till very late, fo there will be no hazard 
in removing them any time before May. If the fea- 
fon fhould prove dry, they muft be watered ■, and if 
the furface of the beds is covered with mofs, or mulch, 
to prevent the earth from drying, it will be of great 
fervice to the plants. In thefe beds the plants may 
remain two years, during which time they muft be 
conftantly kept clean from weeds and in the winter 
there fliould be feme rotten tan, or other mulch, fpread 
over the furface of the ground to keep out the froft. 
If the plants thrive well, they will be fit to tranfplant 
to the places where they are to remain after two 
years growth, for they do not bear removing when 
large ; the belt feafon for tranfplantlng of thefe trees, 
is late in the fpring •, they thrive beft in a light deep 
foil, for in ftrong fhallow ground they become molly, 
and never grow large ; they fhould alfo have a fhel- 
tered fituation, for when they are much expofed to 
winds, their branches are frequently broken in the 
fummer feafon, when they are fully clothed with 
leaves.

Inft. R. H. 466. tab. 265. Blue Daify. 
The Characters are. 
It hath a fewer compofed of many florets , which are 
included in one common fcaly empalement ; each floret has 
an empalement of one leaf, which is tubulous , and cut into 
five flegments at the top. The florets have one petal, 
whofle bafle is tubulous, but the brim is cut into four parts 
the upper flegment , which is the leaf;, is reflexed -, they 
have four ft lamina the length of the petal, terminated by 
diftinbl flmmits •, in the bottom of the tube is fituated an 
oval germen fupporting a Jingle Jlyle, crowned by an ob- 
tufle Jligma. The germen afterward becomes an oval feed, 
fitting in the common empalement. 
This genus of plants is ranged in the firft fecfion of 
Linnaeus’s fourth clafs, intitled Tetandria Mono- 
gynia, which includes thofe plants whofe flowers have 
four ftamina and one ftyle.

The firft of thefe plants grows plentifully about Mont- 
pelier, as alfo at the foot of the mountains jura and 
Saleva, and in many other parts of Italy, and in Ger- 
many j this plant hath leaves very like thole of the 
Daify, but are thicker and fmoother. The fiower- 
ftalks rife about fix inches high, fupporting a glo- 
bular head of flowers, compofed of feveral florets, 
which are included in one common fcaly empalement - t 
they are of a fine blue colour, and appear in June j 
thefe are fucceeded by feeds, which fit in the empale- 
ment, and ripen in autumn. 
The fecond fort grows plentifully in the woods, near 
the convent of the Carthufians, and on the Pyrenean 
mountains •, this is much larger than the former, and 
hath a Ihrubby ftalk a foot and a half high ; the foot- 
ftalk is quite naked. The leaves are narrower, and 
much longer. 
The firft fort may be propagated by parting of the 
roots after the manner of Daifies. The beft feafon 
for parting and tranfplanting of the plants is in Sep- 
tember, that they may take new root before the frofty 
weather comes on. They fhould be planted in a 
fhady fituation, and require a moift loamy foil, in 
which they will thrive much better than in a light 
ground and an open fituation ; but the plants fhould 
not be removed oftener than every other year, if they 
are required to flower ftrong. 
The third fort grows about Montpelier in France, 
and in V alentia, and feveral other parts of Spain. This 
has a hard woody ftem, which nfes about two feet 
high, having many woody branches,- befet with leaves 
like thofe of the Myrtle-tree. On the top of the 
branches the flowers are produced, which are of a 
blue colour, and globe-fhaped ; this plant may be 
propagated by cuttings, which fhould be cut off in 
April, juft before they begin to make new fhoots ; the 
cuttings fhould be planted into pots filled with light 
frefh earth, and then placed into a very moderate hot- 
bed, obferving to water and fliade them until they have 
taken root, when they may be taken out of the bed, 
and inured to bear the open air by degrees. In fum- 
mer thefe plants may be expofed with other hardy ex- 
otic plants, and in winter they fhould be placed under 
a hot-bed frame, where they may enjoy the free air 
in mild weather, but fliould be fereened from hard 
froft, which will deftroy them, if they are expofed 
thereto, but in mild winters they will live in the open 
air. This plant never produces good feeds in this 
country. 
The fourth fort was found in the mountains of Gra- 
nada, by Dr. Albinus •, this plant is of low growth, 
and may be propagated as the firft ; as may alfo the 
fifth fort, which is the leaf! of all the forts, and the 
moft hardy ; therefore fhould have a fhady fituation, 
and a cool moift foil. 
The fixth fort was found by Dr. Tournefort in the 
Levant ; this is fomewhat tender, and fliould be fhel- 
tered from the froft in winter, under a frame, but in 
fummer it fhould be expofed with other hardy exotic 
plants, and will require to be frequently watered in 
dry weather. This may be propagated by feeds, or 
by parting of their roots, as was direfted for the firft 
fort. 
GLORIOSA. Lin. Gen. Plant. 374. Methonica. 
Tourn. Acad. R. Scien. 1706. The Superb Lily. 
The Characters are, 
The flower hath no empalement it hath fix long fpear- 
Jhaped petals , which are waved, and reflexed to the foot- 
Jlalk. It hath fix ftamina, which fpread open each way , 
and are terminated by pr oft rate fummits. In the center is 
fituated a globular germen , fupporting a fender inclining 
ftyle, crowned by an obtufe triple Jligma. The germen af- 
terward becomes an oval thin capfule having three cells , 
filled with globular feeds, difpofed in a double range. 
This genus of plants is ranged in the firft fedion of 
Linnaeus’s fixth clafs, intitled Hexandria Monogynia, 
which includes the plants whofe flowers have fix fta- 
mina and one ftyle.
