intellect ; these, Shenstone must surely have had 
in remembrance when he wrote the following lines; 
a sentence of which we formerly quoted. 
“Why brand these pleasures with the name 
Of soft unsocial toils, of indolence and shame ? 
Search but the garden, or the wood j 
Let yon admired Carnation own, 
Not all was meant for raiment or for food. 
Not all for needful use alone : 
There, while the seeds of future blossoms dwell, 
’Tis colour’d for the sight, perfumed to please the smell. 
Why knows the Nightingale to sing ? 
Why flows the Vine’s nectareous juice? 
W’hy shines with paint the Linnet’s wing ? 
For sustenance alone ? for use ? 
For preservation ? Every sphere 
Shall bid fair pleasure’s rightful claim appear. 
And sure there seem of human kind 
Some born to shun the solemn strife j 
Some for amusive tasks design’d 
To soothe the certain ills of life ; 
Grace its lone vales with many a budding rose, 
New founts of bliss disclose, 
Call forth refreshing shades, and decorate repose.” 
This plant requires a long summer to bring it to 
maturity, therefore ought to be sown in February, 
or early in March, in a hotbed or greenhouse. 
Here the plants should be potted singly, and 
receive protection till May, and then be turned 
into a warm dry situation in the open garden. If 
cuttings of it be struck early in the autumn, they 
may be kept in a warm greenhouse, where they will 
produce gaiety throughout the winter.
