b c Replanted, after the method before prefcri- 
bed. 
C.LX. This way of Multiplying Anemone a, is 
as it were a Nurfery, where Nature from (ingle 
Flowers which were Sown, gives double ones, ac- 
cording as (he is pleafed to Aft. When the fa- 
vourable chance does fo happen, you ought to fet 
a mark of didinflion on fuch as deferve it ; to the 
end, that in the third Year when you take them 
up, you may put them in Beds by themfelves. 
VI. Of the taking up the Roots. 
CXLI. Wukinfnn fays, that the next Spring af- 
ter Sowing, you may if you will remove them ; 
but he alfo fays, that it is better to Itay till Auguji, 
and then make the Remove, when you may fet 
them in order by Rows, with fufficient didance one 
from another, as is before direfted ; where they 
may abide until you lee what manner of Flower 
each Plant will have, which you may afterwards 
better difpofe of according to your Mind. 
CXL1I. As to the Anemones raifed from the 
Planting of their Roots, if they like their Entertain- 
ment grow Strong, bear fair Flowers'on tall Stalks, 
and ptofper well, you may forbear to take up their 
Roots until the end of June or July. But on the 
contrary, if the green Leaves are few, the Stalks 
(hort, and the Flowers (mall, it is a manifelt fign 
of their dillike, and that the Soil is too cold and 
poor, or elfe too hot and rank, which is tar more 
dangerous. 
CXLIII. In this cafe, they mull betaken upas 
foon as the green Leaves turn yellow, and the Roots 
are to be put into Sand, and fo kept in Lome dry 
place for a Month at lead, and then taken out 
and put into Papers, in fome cool dry place, until 
the time of Re-planting : For lhould they remain 
in the Ground any time after they have loll their 
F ibres, the Earth being unfuitable, they would all or 
molt of them rot and confume away, efpecially if 
any Itore of Rain fhould fall upon them. 
CXLIV. In taking up their Roots, you mull 
take care that they be not broken, efpecially the 
Lot if olia's ; which mud not be divided not broken, 
until they part of themfelves. The AnguRifo/ia's 
or Tenuifoha' s, may be broken or parted with lefs 
prejudice-, but the wholer they are kept, the bet- 
ter they will thrive. 
CXLV. And tho’ the Times mentioned in fome 
of the former Seflions, be belt for planting or 
fetting th.efe Roots, of both kinds of the more 
excellent and rare of thefe Flowers , yet the mote 
ordinary kinds, may be kept out of the Ground 
till the end of February, which fome do, to caufe 
them to dower late, after the other finer and rarer 
kinds are gone. 
CXLVI. In this cafe, it will be good to deep 
thefe long kept Roots 24 hours in warm Water, 
before you Plant or Set" them : and then to Plant 
them with fome Willow Earth under and over 
them, and in a more (hady place than ordinary ; 
becaufe the heat of the Sun, in the time of their 
flowering, will much diminilh their beautiful ap- 
pearance. 
CXLVII. If then you have two Beds flored 
with choice varieties of Anemones, let the latter 
which are Set, be more (hady than the firdj; 
and lb gradually as they are later in Planting : 
and then if the aforementioned Rules be obfeived, 
you will be fure to have admirable Flowers in part 
of March, and all April, and the greatefl part of 
May ; unlefs your Garden dand in fome Smoaky 
or ill natured place, where neither Art nor In- 
duftry can make them ptofper ; unlefs they be Set 
in a hot Bed, as fome in and about London com- 
monly do. 
VII. Of the Choice of Plants and 
Flowers. 
. CXLI HI. The Beauty of this Flower confids 
in itslargenefs, roundnefs, and fine colors, to which 
in the double kind add its duplicity compleat ; 
efpecially with its great Leaves, exceeding a little 
the bignefs of its Tuft : and the extremities of its 
larged Leaves are round, as well as thofe of its 
Stalks, which ought to be large and not narrow. 
CXLIX. That is a fine Plant whofe Stem is 
proportioned in height to the largenefs of its 
Flower, and is drong enough to bear it up with- 
out bending : alfo when its Leaves are curl’d, its 
Tuft low and bufhy, reprefenting a kind of du- 
p'd 0 ; and withal has a great many Stalks or 
Flowers. 
CL. Its Pointel in the middle ought to appear 
a little, and be as it were upon a level, with 
Leaves of the Flower, of an indifferent thicknefs, 
for if it is too thick it is a defefl ; and it ought 
to be alfo of fomething a different color, from 
the great Leaves and the Tuft. 
CLI. There are fome Anemones which are apt 
to (hoot up into height, fo that indead of Flowers, 
they only produce Leaves ; and this comes from 
having fuch a great number of produflions on e- 
very fide, which draw away the fucculent and nu- 
tritive Juices and Salt of the Earth. This great 
abundance of Leaves you mud reflify, by clearing 
the Plants of fuch as are fuperfluous, whereby 
the red of the Plant receiving fo much the more 
of that fucculent Nutriment, will make it the 
better to produce its Flowers. 
CLII. If the Anemones (hould grow mouldy at 
that part of the Root from which they (hoot, 
(which is their Olded part) give them a fillip 
with your Finger on that part, and if they found 
hollow, ot have little holes therein ; then you 
may take a Knife and pare away that decayed parr 
to the quick, fmoothing the place uheie you 
make the Incifion, for tear that if any holeflicuild 
remain, fome of t£e putridity may lutk behind, 
which may make the Root fall into the fame Di(- 
eafe again * which when the decayed part is cut 
quite away, new Roots will (hoot forth, which 
will give you Flowers in great abundance. 
CL11I. In doing this work, many Roots or feg- 
ments of Roots you may cut off ; thefe you 
ought not to throw away, but to Re-plant them 
again ; for many times thofe off cuts being Re- 
planted, will admirably revive, grow drong, and 
bear very good Flowers. 
CLIV. But in the Roots where you have made 
the Incifion, fo foon as ever they are dry, you 
mud rub them in the wounded place with a mix- 
ture of melted Rofin and Wax, which being well 
fixed on them, will hinder them from farther cor- 
rupting. 
CLV. And as it is to be obferv’d, that the Seed 
only, or chiefly of the Single Anemones, bring forth 
Double ones , fo the Double Anemones feldom or 
never multiply, but by the Fangs of their Roots, 
which are conflant in their produflion, and never 
Found to degenetate. 
CLVI. We have given you the Names of the 
principal kinds of above four fcore various forts of 
thefe Flowers; and ’tis poffible, there are an 
hundred other forts, with Names impofed upon 
them,
