We fliall not bring under this genus the Cepa and 
Porrum, as is done by Dr. Linnaeus, left by too 
clofely adopting his fyftem, we may render this work 
lefs intelligible to the practical gardener, and fuch 
other perfons who may delight themfelyes in the cul- 
ture of a kitchen-garden; but not having ftudied the 
fcienoe of botany, may not fo readily turn to thofe 
articles, therefore- we lhall infert their culture under 
their former titles. 
The twofirft fpecies are eafily propagated by planting 
the cloves, or fmall bulbs, in the fpring, in beefs 
about four or five inches diftance from each other, 
keeping them clean from weeds. About the beginning 
of June, the leaves of the firft fort ftiould be tied in 
knots, to prevent their fpindling, or running to feed, 
which will greatly enlarge the bulb. In the middle 
of July, the leaves will begin to wither and decay, 
at which time they ftiould be taken out of the ground, 
and hanged up in a dry room, to prevent their rotting, 4 ' 
and may be thus preferved for winter ufe. 
The roots of the lecond fort may remain in the ground 
till the leaves are decayed, when their bulbs may be 
taken up and dried, to be preferved for ufe during 
the winter feafon ; but fame of the roots may be at 
the fame time planted again for the fucceeding year ; 
for this fort requires to be planted in autumn, eh 
peciaiiy on dry ground, otherwife their bulbs will not 
be large. 
The third fort was formerly in greater efteem than 
at prefent, it being rarely cultivated in gardens, but 
is found wild in moift Ihady places in many parts of 
England; and may be cultivated by planting the roots 
in a moift fhady border, at altnoft any time of the year ; 
but the belt feafon is in July, juft as the green leaves 
are decaying. 
The fourth fort grows naturally in the Holm Iflands, 
from whence it has been t-ranfplanted into feveral gar- 
dens, where it is preferved more for the fake of va- , 
riety than ufe. 
The eleventh and thirteenth forts grow wild in the 
northern parts of England, but are by the curious in 
botany preferved in their gardens. Thefe are very 
hardy, and may be removed in July or Auguft, when 
their leaves begin to decay, and will thrive in almoft 
any foil or fltuation. 
The fifth fort was formerly preferved in gardens for 
the fake of its yellow flowers, but having a very ftrong 
Garlick feent, moft people have rooted it out of their 
gardens. 
The fixth fort is alfo preferved by many perfons in 
their gardens for the fake of variety, but as this hath 
a very ftrong feent, fo it is not often admitted to the 
flower-garden. 
The ninth and twelfth forts are fometimes permitted 
to have a place in gardens for the fake of variety. 
The feventh, eighth, and tenth forts grow naturally 
in T artary and Siberia, from whence their feeds were 
lent to Peterfburgh, and from thence feme of the bo- 
tanic gardens have been fupplied with feeds ; thefe are 
only preferved for the fake of variety. 
The fourteenth, fifteenth, and fifteenth forts, have 
been planted in gardens for the variety of their flowers, 
but of late years moft people have turned them out, 
to make room for better forts. But the fifteenth 
multiplies fo fall by offsets, as to render it difficult 
to extirpate them, when they have remained any time 
in a garden. 
This produces large umbels of white flowers, growing 
on ftalks about ten inches high; the time of flowering 
is in April and May. 
The nineteenth fort was brought from Virginia, and 
is preferved in botanic gardens for variety’s fake, but 
has no great beauty ; it is very hardy, and will thrive 
in the open air very well ; and is propagated by its 
bulbs, which are produced in plenty on the top of 
the ftalks. 
They are all of them very hardy, and will thrive in 
almoft any foil or fltuation, and are eafily propagated 
either by their roots, or from feeds : if from the roots, 
the belt time is in autumn, that they may take good 
root in the ground before the fpring, which is necef- 
fary, in order to have them flower ftrong the following 
fummer. If they are propagated by feeds, they may 
be fcwn on a border of common earth, either in au- 
tumn, foon after the feeds are ripe, or in the fpring 
following, and will require no farther care, but to
