The firft of ei Plants is very common in fhady Woods, and upon uncultivated Heaths in osers Parts of England: The two next arieties of the firft, from which they t in the Colour of the Flow The fourth, fifth, and fixth Sorts are pre- ferv’d in Gardens, for the Beauty of their Flowers ; but the feventh and eighth Sorts are only cultivated in Botanick Gardens for the Sake of V. ariety, as being Plants of no great Beauty. Thefe Plants may all be propagated by Some of thefe Sorts feldom remain above two Years, when after having perfected their Seeds, theydie, unlefs Care betakento cut off the Flowers when they are in Beauty, before they begin to decay, which often caufes the Roots to break out again, whereby they may be kept for feveral Ye Years in a rich Soil, and their Flowers will be, when planted therein, much fmaller, and of fhorter Duration ; and altho’ they are fomeof them common in Ex d, yet they make a very good Appearance in large Gardens. The ninth Sort is of a nicer Nature, and requires to be fhelter’d in a Greenhoufe in Winter ; whichindeedit is w orthy of, for it is one of the handfomeft Flowers, when in Beauty, of moft of the Green-houfe Plants: This is multiply’d by fowing the Seeds in the Spring upon a moderate Hot-bed; and when the Plants are ftrong enough to be remov’d, they fhould be planted in Pots fill’d withfrefh light fandy Earth, and the Pots plung’d into a very moderate Hot-bed, in order to facilitate the Rooting of the Plants, obferving to water and fhade them until they have taken frefh Root; after which they n ‘be enur’d to the open Air by degrees, and in Summer may be expos’ d in a fhelter’d Place amongft other Exotick Plants; In Winterthe Pots fhould be plac’d in a Green-houfe, fo that the Plants may enjoy as much free Air as poffible, but mutt be preferv’d from Froft, and do require frequent Refrefhings with Water.

The other four Sorts are beautiful Flowering Plants, and well worth propagating in every good Garden: Thefe are increas’d by planting Cuttings of any of the Kinds during the Summer Months, ina Bedof light, rich Earth, obferving to water and fhade themuntil they have taken Root: Then you mutt carefully tranfplant them into Pots fill’d with rhe like rich light Earth, fetting them in the Shade until they hhave ialcndloot & after which, they may be expos’d with Geranium’s, &c. until Offober, when they muft be remov’dinto the Green-houfe, where they fhould be plac’d as near the Glaffes as poffible, that they may have free Air whenever the Weather will permit, and muft have frequent Refrefhings with Water.
