train in the others intire, as they flower moftly at the 
extremities. 
All the forts of Jafmines may be had at the nurfe- 
ries, for planting, or more generally the firft three 
lpecies, and all which may be propagated plentifully 
by cuttings, layers, and fuckers; and occasionally by 
grafting, budding, and inarching, particularly the 
Italian, and fome of the three tenderer forts, as the 
Catalonian, Azorian, and Yellow Indian Jafmine. 
The planting of Jafmines may be performed in au¬ 
tumn or fpring ; or the common, and other hardy forts, 
may be planted any time in open weather, from the fall 
of the leaves, till March or April; but the tenderer 
forts only in the fpring : the Common Jafmine is often 
planted againit buildings, and to train againft naked 
walls and fences, in pleafure-grounds, fore-courts, or 
where required to have the walls, &c. covered, and the 
plants to appear ornamental in flowering, training them 
to the wall regularly with feveral (hoots for Items, as 
formerly obfervcd, proceeding from or nearthe bottom; 
the weak tops Ihortened, and nailed ereft or horizon¬ 
tally, as may feem expedient or convenient, three or 
four, to five or fix inches afunder; the Shrubby Ita¬ 
lian, and Dwarf yellow forts, may alfo be planted and 
trained as above; likewife, all the above three forts 
may be planted detached in fhrubberies, borders. &c. 
and trained each with a Angle Item below, fupported 
with a flake in an upright pofition; and the long, drag¬ 
gling branches pruned in, more or lefs, to form a 
bulhy head, as before intimated; observing, in giving 
occafional pruning in fummer, both in the Wall Jaf- 
mines and detached plants, not to cut all the (hoots 
clofe, but leave plenty of the Ihorter growths for flower¬ 
ing, as the flowers generally rife at the ends of the 
young (hoots of the year. 
The propagating, or raifing Jafmines, is by cut¬ 
tings and layers of the ftrong/ young (hoots; and 
likewife by fuckers, efpecially the (hrubby. Yellow 
Jafmine, and others occaflonally; alfo fome forts are 
propagated by budding, inarching, and grafting, par¬ 
ticularly the Dwarf Italian Jafmine and Catalonian 
forts, on flocks of the common white and yellow 
.kinds. 
To propagate them by layers and cuttings; the for¬ 
mer may be performed in autumn or fpring, in the 
young (hoots, and cuttings planted principally in the 
fpring, about March or beginning of April; they will 
all, both layers and cuttings, be rooted in one fum¬ 
mer; and in autumn or fpring tranfplant them, either 
fome where they are «o remain, others, or the whole, 
into a nurfery, for one or two years, or more, then 
tranfplanted to the places where they are defigned. 
Suckers from the roots may be taken up in autumn 
«r fpring, and planted as above.

When defigned to propagate the Dwarf Italian Jaf¬ 
mine, by grafting or budding, or the other tenderer 
forts by budding or inarching, it may be performed upon 
flocks of the common white and yellow; and, by this-, 
method of propagation, plants of thefe forts are annually 
brought or Cent from Italy to this country in the fpring; 
and, in London, are fold at the Italian warehoufes, 
where they may be purchafed for planting, in which it 
is advifeable to plant the tenderer forts, as the Catalo¬ 
nian, Sec. in pots, and plunged in a bark-bed to flrike, 
and run them off fooner, giving water and frelh air, 
and expofed thereto, by degrees, in fummer. 
The Azorian and Yellow Indian Jafmine are alfo 
raifed from layers and cuttings; likewife by feed 
fowed in the fpring in a hot-bed. 
When defigned to plant any of the tenderer Jafmines 
in the full ground, it (hould be clofe to warm, fouth 
walls, their branches trained thereto; and, in winter, 
cover them with mats in all frofty weather; as alfo to 
mulch the ground over the roots. 
The Common Jafmine, and others trained againit 
walls, will require a regulation of pruning and train¬ 
ing every year, in fummer and winter; go over them 
in fummer, and with your knife prune the moft irre¬ 
gular, long-projefting and draggling (hoots of the 
year, and train in the others to the wall, witix 
fome degree of regularity, for flowering the fame 
feafon; preferving the flowering-flioots moftly at their 
full length, ©r (horten very long ramblers; and let all 
the long-extending produttions be kept trained in tole¬ 
rably clofe order all fummer; and in winter, or rather 
towards the fpring, February or March, give a more 
general pruning, cutting out the fuperabundant (hoots 
of laft fummer, and decayed branches, retaining re- 
quifite fupplies of the ftrongeft (hoots in vacant parts, 
and prune off the weak tops, or upper part; and 
then nail the whole to the wall in a regular man* 
ner, agreeable to former intimations. 
O-, if any are trained in ftandard (hrubs, they (hould 
have the long draggling (hoots pruned, to keep the 
head in fome regular order.
