VIII. The Places. They grew naturally in 
Africa , about Tunis , and. where old Girt huge 
lioodj from whence long ago, they were 
brought into Europe where with us, they are 
only kept in Gardens, and tiourifh wonderous 
well, being Sown for the moft part every year, 
unlefs in i'ome mild Winters. But that Kind with 
hollow or Pipe-Leaves, comes not from Africa , 
but from Mexico in America , and is fo denomi- 
nated according to Vabius Golumna. 
IX. The Times. They are to be Sown in the 
beginning of April , if the Seafon falls out to be 
warm , otherwife they mult be Sown in a Bed of 
Dung, or in very good Earth, and in a warm place. 
They bring forth their plealant Flowers very late, 
not till towards the end of Summer , efpecially the 
greater Kinds j but the leffer, if they abide all the 
Winter , do Flower more early ^ for this reafon 
thofe which are of the later flowering, ought to 
be Sown the more early, that they may Flower and 
Seed fo early, as not to be overtaken with the 
Froft, before the Seed is ripe. 
X. As to the Vitalities, They are unknown far- 
ther than that have been found, by experience to 
be of a deleterious nature : and therefore no other 
Ofervations have been made of them as to their 
Virtues and Ufes in Phyfical Pra&ice: their chief 
defign in this Book, being to bring them in Courfe, 
for the Ornament of our Englijh Gardens , where 
they already appear fo Beautiful and defirable to 
the Eye.
