The firft Sort is very common in moft Gardens, but the fecondis not quite fo plenty, though, indeed, it is a Variety {carce worth obferving, fince the Flowers are always fingle where they are produc’d in Bunches ; and where they are produc’d fingly, they are double: But this fo rare, that many times upon a large Shrub there can’t be found fix double Flowers. The variegated Sort is prefery’d in the Gardens of fuch as are curious in ftrip’d Plants, tho’ there is no great Beauty in it, becaufe when the Plants are vigorous, the Stripes in the Leaves do fcarcely appear. s Dwarf Sort is not worth a Place in a Garden, unlefs for the Sake of Variety, fince it nevet produces any Flowers. All thefe Plants may be eafily propagated, by taking off their Suckers in Auiumn, (which they produce very plentifully) and planting them out in a Nurfery at three Feet Diftance Rowfrom Row, and a Foot afunder in the Rows, obferving to keep the Ground between them conftantly clear from Weeds, as alfo to dig it up every Spring to loofen it, that the Roots of the Plants may more readily extend themfelves. In this Narfery they may remain two Years, by which Time they will be fit to tranfplant out where they are to remain ; which aie African or French Marygold.

Thofe with fingle Flowers fhould be pull’d up, and thrown away as goodfor little, be- caufe the Seeds produc’d from themwill rarely produce double Flowers; therefore great Care fhould be taken to fave only the Seeds of thofe whofe Flowers are very double of every kind, from which there will always bea good Quantity of double ones produc’d, tho’ from the very beft Seeds there will always be many fingle Flowers ; but the fmall Sorts do always produce a greater Number of double Flowers than the large, which are more apt to degenerate. Thefe Plants have a ftrong, difagreeable Scent, efpecially when handled ; for which Reafon they are not fo greatly efteem’d for planting near Habitations: but the Flowers of the fweet-fcented Sort being more agreeable, are moftly coveted to plant in fmall Gardens. All thefe Sorts do begin to flowerin May, and continue all the latter Part of the Year, until the Froft prevents their Flowering: for which, together with thelittle Trouble requir’d in their Culture, they have greatly obtain’d in moft Englifh Gardens.

They are eafily propagated by fowing their Seeds on a Hot-bed in the Spring; and when the Plants are come up, they fhouldbe planted each into a feparate {mall Pot fill’d with light rich Earth, and plung’d into a Hot-bed of Tanners-Bark, to bring ’em forward, obferving to water and fhade them until they have taken Root; and as the Earth in the Pots appears dry, fo they muft be water’d from time to time, and fhould have Air given to them in Proportion to the Warmth ofthe Seafon, andthe Bedin which they are plac’d: When the Pots in which they are planted are fill’d with their Roots, the Plants fhould be fhifted into Pots ofa larger Size, which muft be fill’d up with rich light Earth, and again plung’dinto the Hot-bed, giving them Air, as before, according to the Warmth of the Seafon: But in very hot Weather the Glaffes fhould be fhaded with Mats in the Heat ofthe Day, otherwife the Sunwill be too violent for them through the Glaffes: Nor will the Plants thrive if they are expos’d to the open Air, even in the warmeft Seafon, fo that they muft be conftantly kept in the Bark-ftove both Winter and Summer, treating them, as hath been directed, for the / with whofe Culture they will thrive exceedingly.
