SYSTEM 
*H THE GARDENER’S VEGETABLE 
growth, and beautiful in its foliage and flowers, for 
adorning any ornamental plantations; is garniihed, in 
l'ummcr, with large, lobated leaves, Angularly trun¬ 
cated at the ends, and many campanulate, or bell- 
fhape, liliaceous, or lily-form flowers, foraewhat re- 
fem’oling the form of a tulip ; compofed of fix petals 
in two l'eries, containing numerous flamina, and many 
germina, which grow a conic body of numerous, an¬ 
gular feeds, placed imbricatim, or lying over one an¬ 
other : ripening in autumn, though not abundantly in 
England, but procured plentifully from America, and 
by which the trees are generally propagated. 
One hardy Species, viz. 
Liriodendron Tulipifera —(Tulipifexa Arbor) or 
TULIP TREE. 
A lofty-growing, deciduous tree, advancing with a 
firaight item, and branchy head, forty or fifty feet 
high—the leaves {large, light-green ) lobated, three- 
parted, with the middle lobe truncated, as if cut off 
at the end; and bunches of. fmall tulip-ihape flowers.— 
Native of North America. ( Loamy or any common 
light foil.) 
Variety. —Carolina Tulip Tree, with the leaves 
produced, more angled. 
This curious, deciduous tree, merits attention to 
plant for ornament and variety, in principal planta¬ 
tions, in pleafure-grounds, parks, &c. aflociated with 
other ornamental trees of the deciduous tribe; in which 
it will difplay a diftingui (liable diverfity in its growth, 
and large, lobated, Angular, truncated leaves; and, 
when advanced to fome considerable fize, produces 
Bowers confpicueufly in fummer, towards the ends of 
the branches: the tree is raifed in all the nurferies for 
public fupply, and may be obtained for planting at 
the ufual feafons; and is propagated by feed fowed in 
the fpring. 
The feed of this tree, for fowing, is commonly pro¬ 
cured from America, by the feedfmen, in the Ipring; 
when, in March or April, it Ihould be fowed in a bed 
of light earth, and covered in an inch deep; and when 
the plants are of one fummer’s growth in the feed-bed, 
tranfplant them in autumn or fpring, in nurfery-rows; 
and trained with fingle, clean Hems, of four, five, or 
fix feet, for ftandard trees, and to run up with full 
heads. 
When they are advanced about four to five, or fix 
feet high, they are of proper growth for any intended 
plantations.

rnr, lonicera, or Honey-fuckle, confifts of 
many fpecies and varieties of ornamental, ffowering- 
Ihrubs, volubilate climbers, and of upright, flirubby 
growth, of great ment for adorning flirubbmes, flower- 
borders, &c. in their numerous, beautiful, fragrant 
flowers, in fummer and autumn; are moftly deciduous, 
and fome ever-green; fome growing with long, {lender, 
twinmg-chmbing {hoots, ten to fifteen, or twenty feet 
extent; others more upright growers, advancing three, 
four, five, to fix or eight feet; decorated with oblong- 
ova , fpcar and heart-lhape, middling and fmall leaves ; 
in the different fpecies moftly in pairs, oppofite, and 
lome fingly, others connefted at the bafe, and perfo- 
nued by the Halles, or branches; and numerous, long-, 
tuoulous, five-parted flowers, red, white, yellow, &c. 
in bunches and in pairs; having fmall cups divided into 
five parts; a corolla monopetalous, or of one petal, tu- 
bulous below, cut above into five reflexed iegments, 
and furmfhed with five ftamina, a roundifh germen’ 
nipportmg one ftyle; and the germen grows a rourdilh 
umbilicated, bilocular berry, red, blue, black, fome 
joining two or feveral together, and fome di fined or 
angle; containing roundifti and comprefied feeds, by 
which, fowed in the fpring or autumn, the plants’ arr 
occafionally raifed, or more generally by cuttings o 
the flioots and layers thereof. 
The Species of LONICERA are, confiding of volu 
bilate Climbers, and upright Plants, viz. 
Volubilate kinds — or with long, Jlender, twin¬ 
ing-climbing flems and Jhoots-, either twining round any 
adjacent fiupport of trees, fakes, hujhes, K5c. or trail on 
the ground-, fo Jkould generally have fiupport , or trained 
to walls , & c. 
t. Loniejer a Perytlimenum —(Peryclimenum)orCom- 
mon Climbing Honey- fuckle. 
A twining-climbing, deciduous fhrub, extending ten 
to fifteen or twenty feet length—the leaves ( middling) 
oblong-ovate, oppofite, all handing diftinft; and oval, 
imbricated, terminal heads of flowers, white, red, &c.
