Of TREES, SHRUBS, PLANTS, FLOWERS, and FRUITS, 
of their flowering, they deferve admittance in princi¬ 
pal and general fhrubbery compartments. 
They are hardy to fucceed in any common foil and 
fituation, except the Hypericum monogynum, which 
ihould have a warm, flieltered fituation; and fome kept 
in pots, to move, under protedlion of a frame or green- 
heufe, in winter; but all the ethers may be planted 
any where in the full ground; or generally allot the 
Olympian St. John’s Wort a place in fome dry, warm 
compartment; orlikewiie, keepiomeof that fort in pots. 
All the forts may be obtained at the public nurfe- 
ries, for planting in autumn or fpring; or may be 
railed, plentifully, by different methods of propaga¬ 
tion, as feed, fuckers, off-fets of roots. See. 
The propagation, or methods of railing thefe plants» 
is effected principally by fuckers, from the bottom 
flips of, and dividing the roots; likewife, occafionally, 
bv cuttings, and feeds; fuckers are produced from 
the roots in moll cf the forts, but mere abundantly in 
the firft, and Canary Hypericum, and in which, and 
other forts, where fuckers occur, they may be taken 
up with roots in autumn and fpring, and planted either 
at once where they are to remain, or in a nurfery, for 
a year or two, ready for the fhrubbery ; or any of the 
{mailer under-fhrubby kinds, and others, not furnifhing 
feparate fucker-fhoots, may be propagated by parting 
the roots; likewife by cuttings of the young fhoots 
in the fpring ; and feed fowed in the autumn or fpring 
months, in a bed of light earth, will grow freely, and 
the plants, when a year old, tranfplanted in a nurfery, 
or fome of the more tender forts planted in pots, to 
place under fhelter in winter. 
When the plants, raifed by any of the above me¬ 
thods, are from one to two or three feet growth, ac¬ 
cording to their different fizes, they are proper for the 
fhrubbery. 
They may be planted in fhrubberies, in autumn or 
fpring, difpofing them, according to their growth, 
placing the fmaller kind? in the front part, the taller 
forts llationed behind, more or lefs, in proportion 
to their height, and the whole difpofed in a diverfified 
manner, in affemblage with other deciduous flowering- 
fnrubs, and permitted to (hoot and branch nearly in 
their natural order; and they will flower abundantly 
feveral months every iummer. 
Jasminum, JASMINE TREE. 
Clafs and Order. 
Diandria Monogynia, 
c Fwo Males, One Female ; 
Or Plants •with Hermaphrodite Flowers, having two 
Stamina, or Males, and one Pijlillum, or Female. 
THE Jasminum affords three fpccies of hardy, 
deciduous flovVcriog-fhmbs, others more tender; all 
very ornamental in the pleafure-ground, in their 
numerous flowers in fummer: are moftly of trailing 
growth, (hooting with long, (lender, flexible Items 
and branches; adorned in fummer with fmall pin¬ 
nated and ternate leaves; and numerous fmall, long, 
tubulous, white and yellow fragrant flowers, in 
bunches, in June, July and Auguft; each flower hav¬ 
ing a monophyllous cup, a corolla of one long, tubulous, 
five-parted petal, containing two (lamina and one ffy- 
lus; fucceeded by oval berries, furnifhed with two 
feeds, which ripen in England, but are feldom uied for 
fowing, as the plants propagate plentifully by layers, 
cuttings, and fometimes by fuckers. 
Principal Characters. —The flowers hermaphrodite; 
the calyx or cup one-leaved, tubulous, five-parted at 
the brim; corolla, one long, tubulous petal, divided 
above in five fpreading fegments; two fhort (lamina, 
crowned by fmall anthera; a roundifh centril germen, 
having a (lender ftyle, terminated by a bifid fligma; 
and the germen grows an oval berry, containing two 
oval and oblong feeds, one fide flat, the other con¬ 
vex. 
The hardy Species of JAS-MINUMS are, 
1. Jasminum officinale —Officinal, or Common 
White jafmine. 
A deciduous fhrub, growing with long, (lender, 
flexible flems and fhoots, extending eight or ten feet 
in length, or more—the leaves {/mail, dark-green) 
pinnated, placed oppofite, with the lobes acute-point¬ 
ed ; and numerous white flowers, in fmall bunches, ter¬ 
minating the young fhoots; June, July, and Auguft. 
—Native cf Malabar, and other parts of the Eall-In- 
dies. ( Any foil and ftuation.) 
Varieties. —Silver-flriped-leaved Common Jafmine. 
Gold-ftriped-leaved Common Jafmine. 
2. ] asm iuvm fruticans, Shrubby Yellow Jafmine. 
A deciduous fhrub, with (lender, flexible branches, 
of fix or eight feet growth—the branches angular •, 
leaves [fmall, dark-green) ternate or trifoliate, and 
Ample, placed alternate; yellow flowers, June, 
July, &c.—Native of the fouth parts of Europe, 
and all parts of the Eall. [Hny foil and ftuation.) 
j. Jasminum humilc. Humble or Dwarf Italian Jaf- 
mine. 
A fmaller deciduous fhrub, with weak branches, 
of three or four, to five or fix feet growth—the branch¬ 
es angular; leaves [fmall, dark-green) ternate and 
pinnated, placed alternately ; and larger yellow flow¬ 
ers produced at the ends of the fhoots, June, July, 
& c.
