The Species of KALMIA are, 
1. Kalmia latifolia, Broad-leaved Kalmia. 
A moderate ever-green Ihrub, of branchy growth, 
four or five feet high—the leaves (middling) ovate- 
obtufe; and corymbus bunches of flowers, terminating 
the branches; June and July; moll beautiful.—Na¬ 
tive of Maryland, Virginia, Pennfylvania, Sec. (Moijl , 
light, or any foil.) 
Variety. —Striped broad-leaved Kalmia. 
2. Kalmia anguflifolia. Narrow-leaved Kalmia. 
A moderate ever-green flirub, of branchy, bulhy 
growth, three or four feet high—the leaves (middling) 
fpear-fhape, longifh; and corymbus bunches of flowers, 
laterally, or at the fides of the branches; June, July, 
&c. very beautiful.—Native of Pennfylvania, and 
near New York. 
Thefe are the moll delightful of all fhrubs, beautiful 
as ever-greens, and moft delicately-fine flowering-plants; 
demand admittance in every curious garden, to embel- 
li(h principal Ihrubbery dumps: may be obtained at 
the nurferies, for planting, in autumn or fpring; and 
are propagated by feeds, layers, and fuckers, in the 
fame feafons. 
Sow the feeds principally in the fpring, in a bed of 
light earth, or in pots; or, if the pots are plunged in 
a gentle hot-bed, it will forward the germination of 
the feed, and the plants in gro\vth; they, in either 
method, will come up the fame year: give them (helter 
in winter, and in fpring prick them in a warm fituation, 
or into pots, for moving under protedion from froft in 
winter for a year or two, then may be tranfplanted 
with balls into the full ground, either where they are 
to remain, or in a nurfery, till advanced more in growth, 
for planting in the Ihrubbery, &c. or fome may be 
continued in pots, and in winter, placed under Ihelter 
from froft. 
Or by layers and fuckers, the former may be per¬ 
formed in autumn or fpring, in the lower, young 
branches, laved down in the earth with the tops a few 
inches above ground ; they will be rooted for planting 
oft in autumn or fpring following; and fuckers arifing 
from the bottom, may be digged up in the fpring with 
roots, fo as each forms at once a rooted young plant, 
which may be planted either in a nurfery, or ftrong ones 
in the Ihrubberies, &c. where they are to continue. 
Generally, for planting thefe curious ever-greens, in 
a Ihrubbery, or any where in pleafure-grounds for or¬ 
nament, they being of proper growth' when two to 
three feet high, the fpring, about March and April, is 
a good feafon, otherwife in autumn, about die middle 
or end of September, or in Odober or November; 
and where any can be removed, or tranfplanted, with 
balls to their roots, either from the full ground, or 
pots, it will be an advantage. 
They Ihould have a warm fituation, in the front of 
fome principal Ihrubbery clump, or in a border, &c. 
where they may be confpicuous to fight, as they make 
a good appearance at all feafons; and very ornamental 
when in flower, in large, corymbus bunches.

gent above; four ftamina, two fuperior in length to the 
other two ; a four-parted germen, fupporting a Angle 
ftyle; and the germen grows four naked feeds, which 
are feldom ufed for fowing, as the plants propagate 
freely by planting flips and cuttings of the young fhoot*, 
in fpring and fummer.
