Gardens, where the other fix kinds are alfo kept 
and Nurft up.

er often in the end of Autumn , and if the Winter 
is mild, all the Winter long-, but efpecially in the 
Months of February , March and April, even till 
the heat of the Spring flops them. The Double 
Kinds Flower fometimes very early, and fometimes

OBSERVATIONS. 
XIII. ~\. As to the Single Flowers. Their Seed 
Ihould be Sown in September , in the Earth juft as 
you find it, without any previous Preparation * for 
it is the Nature of this Flower to grow upon 
Walls, and even amongft Rubbilh. 
XIV. 2. When they are Cultivated, more Care 
is to be taken of them, that they may ferve as 
Ornaments in a Garden, for Borders of Beds and 
Plats, where they look very agreeably. 
XV. 3. Having managed them as you do Flow- 
ers for Tranfplantation, as foon as you think them 
ftiong enough to change their places, put them in 
one that agrees with them, and Water them daily, 
to facilitate their taking Root. 
XVI. 4. Re alfo very mindful to clear them of 
Weeds ; for this, as well as the Double Flower , 
being Vivacious Plants, they will then grow to 
your latisfaclion ; the reft of their Culture is to be 
done as in the Double Flower. 
XVII. 5. Of the Double Flower you muft be more 
Careful • and it is to be multipiyed by Layers, or 
by Slips : If by Layers, chufe the belt, and lay 
them in the Earth ^ and that they may not rife 
too fall, drive a Hook down upon them , and let 
45 
the Earth upon your Layers, be of the fame 
Ground in which they are laid. 
XVIII. 6. Then Water them daily, that they 
may the better take Root, and Iboner fallen them- 
felves in the Earth, and let them be laid as foon as 
they have loft their Flowers, vis. in the end of 
Mjy, or beginning of June ; and leave them till 
September or OSobcr, at which time take them up, 
and put them either in Open Ground, or in Pots. 
XIX. 7. If you place them in Borders of 
Plots, iSc. the Garden Earth will do well enough ; 
but if in Pots, take two thirds of Sifted Kitchen. 
Garden Earth, and one third ofMould, with which 
(being mixed) fill your Pots, putting your Layers 
into it according to Art. 
XX. 8. And fince thele Flowers are apt to be 
injured by Cold, you muft Houfe your Pots in 
time, left the Earth Ihould Freeze and break your 
Pots, and fo hurt your Plants : But as for thofein 
the Open Grounds, you have no farther care to 
take of them, for they will always bear the 
Weather. 
XXI. 9. If you multiply them by Slips, let 
them not be kept dry, that they may be Nourilhed 
fo as ro extend their Fibrous Roots round about to 
attraQ: the noutilhing Sap, or Juice of the Earth. 
XXII. 10. Let your Slips be well chofen, and 
put into Pots or Pans filled with Sifted Garden- 
Earth, with fome Mould thinly fpread upon it, in- 
to which fet your Slips half their length ; put the 
Earth gently down upon them with your hand, to 
help to fallen them the fooner; Water them, and 
put them in a fhady place till they begin to fpting, 
after which, remove them into the Sun. 
XXIII. 11. Let them be Planted at the fame 
time you do the Layers, and when they have taken 
good Root, let them be Tranlplanted into the pla- 
ces you defign for them, not forgetting to Water 
and Weed them, as often as occafion requires it.
