Thefe may be propagated, by fowing their Seeds in the Spring in a Bedoffrefh Earth in an openSituation ; and when the Plants are come up, they may be tranfplanted either into fmall Pots, or in Borders where they are intended to remain. The fourth, fifth, fixth, and feventh Sorts fhould have the Shelter of a Wall, Hedge, or Pale to proteét them from the North and Eaft Winds, which are fometimes deftructive to them, if too much expos’d thereto. Thefe Sorts may alfo be increas’d, by planting their Cuttings in a fhady Border, in May or Fune; which, if fupply’d with Water indry Weather, will take Root very well in about three Months time, when they may be remov’d with Safety wheretheyare defign’d. The third Sort is a biennial Plant, rarely abiding after it hath perfeéted its Seeds: This fhould be fown in a Border whichis fcreen’d from the cold Winds; and when the Plants are come up, they may be tranfplanted toa r Diftance in the fame well-fhelter’d er; and the Spring following, the Plants ill flower, and foon after will perfect their Seeds ; which, if permitted to fcatter upon the Ground, will arife of themfelves, without any Widow- The Charaéfers are ; mander with Cut Leaves. 4.

There is but one Species of this Plant in the Englifo Gardens, which is, CHAMALZaA ; tricoccos. C. B. The Widow- Wail. This is a Shrub-of low Growth, feldom arifing above two or three Feet in Height with us, and is fomewhat tender; therefore fhould (if planted abroad ) have a warm Pofition, and a dry Soil: It is ufually preferv’d in Green-houles in the Winter; but I find it will endure the Cold of our common Winters in the open Ground, if defended fromthe cold Winds. This Plant is propagated by fowing the Seeds, foon after they are ripe, in a Pot or Tub of Earth, which fhould be fhelter’d from Frofts in Winter, and the Earth fuffer’d to remain undifturb’d till the fecond Year, when the Seeds will arife; which to promote, if you place the Pot into a gentle Blor-Bed, it will greatly forward the Growth of the Plants, When the Plants are come up about fix or eight Inches high, they may be tranfplanted fingly into fmall Pots, and fcreen’d from the Sun until they have taken frefh Root: After which Time they fhould be expos’d to the open Air; but for the two firft Winters, while young, fhould be fhelter’d under a common Hot-bed Frame: But afterwards they may be turn’d out of the Pots into the full Ground, under a Wall, &c. (as was before directed) where they will abide very well. This Plant hath no great Beauty; nor do I know any Ufe made of it in England; andis only pre- ferv’d in curious Collections of Plants, for Variety-fake, ‘ CHAME: |
