TODD, YORK, Cntereu at ^tationei'jsi' l^all T O HENRY DUNCOMBE, AND WILLIAM WILBERFORCE, Efqulres, REPRESENTATIVES IN PARLIAMENT . FOR THE COUNTY OF YORK. Gentlemen, XLLUSTRIOUS men, in all ages, have ever deemed the cultivation and improvement of their native country highly honorable, and moft worthy of their immediate attention. Animated by example, and defirous of being acquainted with fuch rational purfuits, I am engaged in the employment moft VI moft likely to realize my wiflies, and at the fame time render me an ufeful member of fociety. My prefent intention is an attempt to aid in the manage- ment of that moft elegantly-refined and fafcinating department of the Garden, where the prodigious variety of rare plants that have been introduced into this kingdom, from the hot regions of the terraqeous globe, are depofited ; and the liberal en- couragement which an enlightened public are ever ready to give to endeavours, where utility or a defire to pleafe are the principal objeds, excites in me a lively hope that this effort, and alfo my future exertions, will meet with their indulgence. With great deference. Gentlemen, I here appeal to you, if it be not rather incumbent upon thofe who reft at cafe in this our favoured iiland, and enjoy the bleffed funftiine of inde- pendent fortune, to cherifh and preferve thofe great curiofities of the vegetable kingdom, which the bold and adventurous have, with extreme hazard and difficulty, colleded ? To vu To obtain thofe rarities men of the greateil accomplifh- ments have navigated unknown feas, have traverfed drearj wilds and deferts, fearched the forefts of both Indies, and c>:- plored the burning countries of the torrid zone. In this work is meant to be included as much information^ in a fmall compafs as poflible. As far as I am able I have fixed' the native place of each plant; whereby every gentleman, con- verfant in geography, may with great eale and nicety afcer- tain the proper heat and fituation in,the ftove and green-houfe for every exotic, and in one line of the Catalogue, by a fingle glance of the eye, without the trouble of poring on voluminous botanical works, he will find in alphabetical order the Generic and Specific name of each plant in Latin, the Englifli name for the convenience of the practical gardener, and by certain charadlers or abbreviations its denomination and proper place in the confervatory, and likewife the country of v/hich the plant is a native. Such / VIU Such, Gentlemen, is the intention of the following fheets, which I venture to publifli under the fandion of your names, which I am proud to make ufe of, being in me a difinterefted memorial how highly the names and charadiers of able and virtuous men are efteemed ; and fhould they be found in any degree ferviceable, and meet but with your approbation, my wifhes will be amply gratified. I am, Gentlemen, With true refped:, Your moft obedient, And Faithful humble Servant, RICHARD STEFXE. IX SUBSCRIBERS, X HE Right Hon. Sir Richard P. Arden, Mafter of the Rolls. Lady Anderfon.

I T feems equally improper to introduce into a Catalogue, like the pre- fent, the Synonyms of different botanical writers, to endeavour to afcertain how long each plant has been cultivated in the Britifh gardens, (which would, upon examination, moft likely be found defedlive) or to preface the work with a long catalogue of books that may have been infpeded to furnifli materials for the following (heets. A mere declaration that the fubjedls which are treated upon have been carefully attended to, will, it is hoped, here be thought fufficient j efpecially if the matter, in its humble and plain attire, proves fatisfadlory to the Gentleman, and contributes to the eafe and information of the Gardener. Preference is given to a catalogue arranged in alphabetical order, as being the moft plain method for enabling horticulturifts to provide, with eafe and expedition, a full colledtion for their floves and green-houfes ; and fhould they be inclinable to obtain information beyond the limits of this plan, they will find no fcarcity of fcientlfic botanical books to refer to. Some of my readers perhaps may fancy that a fcale of the different de- grees of heat of different countries, whofe produdions are arranged in the following xxn following fteets, „;gh, ^ '" 'I>i"k that ruch » '" ">" ^-^i •■ But I am • r n-t "™«'cal i„ "- Ge„t,e™„. „„,, ,,,^ ,^ the 1 r^'° '"'■"" "^^-'-'i 'o --.-„ton.eStc.a„,Ctee:H:t /t"" ^" "' '^"'^^"^ or livo, which r I7,,M u ' ^'"' '1"" asencral „i,r «c.ent)y explicit.

A General Stove, that is, a ftove which at once is calculated for the convenient culture and prefervation of various plants and flowers from hot climates, and in which the Pine- Apple and Grape can alfo be matured in the highefl ftate of perfedtion, is, I prefume, what every gen- tleman of rank and fortune would wi(h to pofiefs. In it he would always find a fource of pleafing ejitertainment, and be amply fupplied with the moft delicious fruits. In the morning or the evening of a fummer's day, how delightful is it to vifit a capacious well-regulated ftove, and at once to breathe the per- fumes arifing from a thoufand aromaticks and beautiful flowers, and fatiate the eye with a variety of verdure. And how ftill more pleafing to enjoy its genial warmth and vigorous vegetation, when contrafted with the cold and dreary fcenes of winter. P A ( iH ) A general ilove, fimilar to that defcribed in this book, is what I do, with all fubtniffion, Ilrongly recommend, not only on account of the eafe with which it is managed, and the elegant appearance it gives to the plants when properly arranged, but as the mofi occonomical plan that I have yet ftcn. Where feveral apartments are under one roof, and communicate imme- diately with each other, much expence in the fabrick is faved, the plants they contain may be viewed at once, and the fight is far more grand and flriking than v^fhere the collection of exoticks is depolited in feparate con- fervatorics ; for in pafling and repafling to and from different buildings, you lofe much of their coUedlive beauty. By an addition of wings or end-apartments, the main body of the Ilove is kept much warmer than if it ftood alone, and therefore is beft calculated to preferve, at the lead expence of fire, (which is no fmall con- lideration in many parts of England) Tropical. Curiofities ; and the body of the liove being entered by a flight of Heps * from each wing, the floor is thereby fo much raifed as to make the centre part a proper height to fruit the Pine-Apple in the higheft degree of excellence; and a great deal of trouble in draining the ground where it happens to be of a fpongy * Under which ftep=, wiirhout the leaft inconvenience or lofs of room, at each enJ of the centre building, may be placed a water ciftern for #he ufe of the ftove ; for nothing can be more difguftful either to the fight or fmell, than when thcfe citterns are fixed in the centre, ,^cr in any confpicuous part of the hot-houfcj bcfide?, every inch of fpace-within the glafs is valuable. OP ( 115 ) or wet nature is thereby avoided : The floor of the wings or appendag-es to the ftove being kept nearly upon a level with the outer ground, makes the entrance free and eafy, and gives to the wings an additional height, which is a moft important advantage ; for by that means you may draw out of the centre department the Palm, Banana, and other tall-growing plants, when they have there attained too high growth, and in one v^ing carry them on to perfecflion ; and in the other wing you are almoft enabled, even in the fevereft winters, from the proper warmth which the main body of the ftove affords, without the aid of an additional fire-flue to preferve throughout the year rare and tender plants, which require a very good ^reen-houfe : And by obferving the following rtiort diredions, the health and beauty of all the plants is warranted, viz. — A free admifllon of air in fummer into each department at all times of the day when the wind is not troublefome ; and in winter by keeping up a conftant regular heat in the ftoves, never below 60, or 50 at loweft, and in the green-houfe wing never below 40 of Fahrenheit, by an enjoyment of proper light, and plenty of air when ever there is no froft, fumigating the houfes with Tobaoco about three times in the whole year, and wafhing the flues with Brim- stone, as direded in the Difcourfe upon the Propagation and Culture of the Plants of this Catalogue, under the article Melia. A General Stove, 160 feet in length, and of proper width and height, is capable of containing a prodigious colledlion of plants for the fatisfadion of the curious. P 2 Tfi« ( 1^6 ) The chearing influenc© of the morning fun, efpecially in the early parts of fpring, being of the greatell advantage to all plants contained in the hot-houfe, I (hould vvi(h the front of the ftove not to be fixed due South, but to have a little inclination to the Eafb. The Pixe-Apple ftove is of all other apartments the moft proper place, in every part of this kingdom, for fuccefsfuliy maturing, in the higheft perfedion, that delicious fruit the GRa-iPE, and indeed at little or no ex- pence; for the fame artificial heat that is required in the fuccefsful culture cf the Pine-Apple, will alfo anfwer well for Gra,pes. I with it to be univerfally underftood, that Vines, when confined to the rafters of a ftove of proper height, are not prejudicial to die Pine-Apple Plant^ but on the contrary afford to it a very friendly fliade during the hoc months : Notwithflanding fome people have aflerted, but without any foundation in truth, that the Pine and Grape will not fucceed together. Yhe natural foil of the border on the outfide of the ftove, into which the roots of the Vine are defigned to run, fliould have due confideration. Jf the foil be naturally wet, it fliould be carefully drained, and by proper contrivances freed from any continuance of fuperfluous water, either caufed by rain, or arifing from too much moiflure or fponginefs in the natural foil; for its continuance in a flrong foil would be prejudicial to the roots of mofl: plants (fave Aquaticks) as well as the Vine. But I would by no means from thence infer, that a loamy foil on a firm clay oc other found, but cold bottom, fhould be rejected for the ilove Vine. Mod ( "7 ) Moft writers are agreed upon this point, that a ftrong foil produces In abundance the largeft grapes : But fome of them add, that their flavor in fuch a fituation is defedlive, and abounds much more with watery juice than the Grapes of thofe Vines which are planted in a light earth, upon a dry open bottom, I fo far agree with them, that when the Vine is planted in our country, in common Vine-Houfes, or other places, where the artifcial heat is not kept equal to that in a good Pine- Apple ftove, I fliould incline to a natural light foil, upon a fand, gravel, lime-ftone, or chalk bottom ; but if the Vine is to receive .the benefits of an hot-houfe, I by no means advifc the rejedlion of a loamy foil upon a clay bottom : Nay, indetd, where there is a choice of foil, I fliould give a decided preference to the ftrong loam for the Stove-Grape. I conceive it to be highly impro- bable that Grapes, if the berries are grown even to th^ largeft- (ize, ripened well in tlie Pine-Stove, iliould derive a watery or vitiated tafte, from the natural earth being a loaniy or ftrong foil upon a clay. All crudities v/hatever, that might in other fituations or circumftances arife from fuch a caufe, will, moft afi'uredly, be efreftually cojiquered bv the power- ful aftion of the fun, and the conftant body of dry air contained in a Pine- Apple ftove during the time of the growing and ripening of the Grape. The finell flavored and largeft hot-houfe Grapes, in this kindom, are grown in Strong Soils, upon Clay Bottoms. I am in no went of teftimony to fupport this allertion j but as i have been ftudiouily careful to avoid prolixity, I hope that every candid perlbn will admit ths force of tl^ ( ii8 ) the above reafons to be fufiicient for my not entering into a Full detail of fa<5l?. I cannot, however, omit to mention the opinion of one able gardener on this /ubjedl. Being led by curiofity lafl: fummer to vifit the juflly celebl-ated -colledion of curious Exoticks at Orford in Lancashire, the feat of John Black- BURNE, Efq; I called at Heaton-House, the refidence of Lord Grey DE Wilton in that county, where I found the beft hot-houfe Grapes I had ever feen, both in the fize of the berry, and delicacy of their flavor, under the management of his Lordfliip's Gardener, Mr. Stephens, whofe abilities in his ftation do him honour. Struck with the rich ap- pearance of the Heaton Grape, J fancied the Vines muft grow upon ftrong clay to bring their fruit to the perfeiflion in which I beheld it ; but being fomehow prevented from making the proper enquiries of Mr. Stephens upon the fpot, I wrote to him, and in November, 1791, was favored with his anfwer, which I fhall, in his own words, here infert. Sir, " I obferve what you fay relative to the Grapes. The natural foil " and bottom of our garden many people would think very un- " favorable; the former a fliff unkindly foil, and the latter a flrong " clay, naturally very wet, being under a hill. But notwithftanding " this feemingly unfavorable foil and fituation, no finer Grapes " were ever produced in England than ours ; fo that no gardener has " any ( '19 ) ** any exeufe relative to the foil or fituation of his garden ; for good " Grapes, with the affiftance of an hot-houfe, may be got in any ** part o^ Great-Britain, But at the fame time when I fay this, I do " not fay they will fucceed without preparation; for that they will " not do any where. I muft tell you once for all, that the fineft " and largeft Grapes are produced from a cold ftifF bottom, drained " round the houfc and border. It is impofTible to have fuper- *' excellent Grapes from a light foil and dry bottom. Believe me *' to be, with great Refped,. '*' Your moft obedient,. ** And faithful Servant, " JOHN STEPHENS, " Heaton-House, J^th November, 1791." Wot-e. Since the receipt of the above letter (which is a ftrong and con- vincing proof of the fuperior knowledge of the writer of it in his profeffion) and its introdudtion into this work, the author has to regret the fudden death of Mr. Stephens. Due ( I20 ) Due attention having been paid to the natural foil of the intended border in the front of the ftove for the Vines, the next thing to be con- lidered is a proper preparation of fuch border ; which bolder may be of any breadth from ten to forty feet, as the fituation of the place will allow. If the natural foil be a light earth upon a fand, gravel, chalk, or liineftone bottom, it fhould be trenched three feet deep, provided the foil will admit of it j but if too ihallow, then raife the border by adding more frefh earth till you get your depth, and inrich the whole with good de- cayed e(iVN''s dung. V Should the natural foil of the intended Vine border be a ftrong loamy earth upon a clay or otlier cold bottom, then do not fmic the border fo deep as is above recommended for the light earth, but raife it higher, which will caufe the fuperfluous water to drain off with greater eafe. Indeed the centre part of the general ftove, given in this book, is fo contrived, that the outer border in the front will, as it were, of neceffity be fo much raifed, as almofi: to fave trenching, draining, and laying under- ground bottoms, which are extremely expenfive operations. Let fuch border confift of equal proportions, well mixed, of horfe dung, taken from an old cr exhaufted Melon or Cucumber- bed, and from the fnrface or turfy part of fome good light earth, dug from <\ pafture or common; and if the grafs roots of fuch light earth are decayed by having been previoufiy thrown into an heap, and frequently turned, it will be more proper for .the purpofe than if ufed in its fre(h flate. I am ( 121 ) I am averfe to a complicated mixture of earths and manures in the ma- nagement either of the field or garden, (fuch combinations being in general not very ufeful, but always expenfive and troublefome) or to any attempt to render intricate and myilerious a plain and eafy fubjedt. There is no doubt but that the compofitions which I have pointed out, will efFedlually anfvver their intention in the different foils above defcribed. I do not advife a covering of gravel or turf upon the Vine border, where the particular fituation of the place does not abfolutely require it j. for I am well perfuaded that a light digging of the border, both in the fpring and autumn, will be found ot ellential fervice to the Vines; and an an- nual renewing of the border in the autumn, by an addition of a good quan- tity of proper manure, and mulching of it with ftable litter in the early part of fpring, will likewife be of great afliflance both to the plant and fruit in its early growth. t Any fcheme of agriculture or horticulture, let the expence in manure be ever fo liberal, unlefs the foil is properly plowed or dug, can be of no real advantage; and therefore, by a parity of reafoning, I fliould prefer an open border for the Vine, managed in the above method, where it can be done with propriety, to a border filled with manures in the ufual way j frequently confiding of a very whimfical variety of materials, covered up by a platform of gravel or turf. The open border will, at all times, give accefs to the rains and dews, admit the rays of the fun to have their free operation, be meliorated and fertilized by the frofts and fnows in Q^ winter. / ( 122 ) winter, and with facility imbibe the innumerable elementary particles that float the air, and continually inrich the foil when properly tilled. The planting of the flove Vine is very material, and a point to be par- ticularly obferved, for on a proper attention to it much depends. The front fire-flue in the hot-houfe fliould always be fo contrived as to permit the Vine to be planted within the ftove, clofe to the front-wall, fo placed that the roots, when they begin to grow, may pulli freely into the border, through certain fmall arches left for that purpofe in the ground- work or foundation of that wall, about fix inches below the furface of the outer border. The health of the Vine will by this method be in- fured, for the roots will always find fufiicient nourifiiaient to fupport the- luxuriant growth of the tree, and carry on its fruit to perfedion.. In the plan of the fiove given, the fire-flue runs exadly two feet ten^ inches diflant from the ftem of the Vine, which being planted within the ftove, is perfedly out of all danger from the frofl:, and being placed at an exaftly proper dillance from the flue, is- fecured from too llrong fire-heaf; by which plain and eafy contrivance the fap is very early put in motion in the plant, and, by the genial warmth it receives from the ftove, continues to circulate without check or interruption, which prevents many fatal acci- dents that frequently befal the Grape in the fpring, where the Vine is planted in the ufual way, to the no Imall difappointment of the mafter and the gardener. la ( 123 ) • In the common cultivation of a ftove, a iire-flue runs in the front wall, the Vine is planted on the outfide of it, and introduced int» the ftove by an aperture in the wall, fometimes directly under, but in general immediately above tlie front flue ; in either of which cafes, the flem of the Vine approaches far too near the ftrong fire-heat that runs within fuch flue ; and in fpite of boxes, bandages, and other apparatus, it feels the violent efl^edts of extreme heat and cold, and thereby, notwith- ftanding the gardener's utmofl: exertions, often receives great injury : But which it is apprehended may be prevented by the mode of planting the Vine above pointed out, and further explained in the plan of the General Stove; and undoubtedly every wife man would ufe his endeavours to prevent difeafes by previous neceflary cautions. By the above method of planting the Vine-Tree, the cares of the gardener are greatly relieved; the Vine will be durable, extremely vigo- rous, abundantly prolific, and will come into a fliate . of bearing much earlier than when planted in any other way; a proof of which may be found in the Thirfk. Stove, attefted by many gentlemen of difliindion and curiofity, who have there viewed the experiment intirely to their fatif- faftion. The Vines in that hot-houfe were planted in November and December 1789, and in the fmall fpace of eighteen months, that is, in the month of June, 1791, a number of fine bunches of Grapes, in high perfedion, were cut. CL2 I do ( 124 ) I do not conceive it a matter of neceffity to place the ftove and green- houfe in the kitchen-garden ; their management is widely different, and, for many good reafons, I think, they had better occupy feparate fituations. There is generally fome convenient place contiguous to the houfes of the great, in which the flove and green-houfe might be erected, without offence to any particular view; and being near at hand, the plants and fruit contained in the building, could, without inconvenience, be at all times viewed by the owner, by means of a private walk from the manfion. This frequent vilitation would give life and energy to the gar-- dener, who would have an emulation to fliew each flower and fruit in perfed health and vigour, and its eafy accefs would be a perpetual induce- ment to the ladies to fuperintend and enjoy its delightful beauties. At the requeft of feveral of my moft refpedable friends, I have touched upon a compofl for the Vine; and I mean, for their further fatisfadicn, to add a word or two upon the earths proper to form a compofition tor growing, in the greateft vigour, each plant contained in the flove and green-houfe J which earths I fhall (in their natural ftate) dillinguilh by Strong Loam, Light Sandy Earth, and Light Mixed Earth. STRONG ( 125 ) STRONG LOAM. The Strt)ng Loam muft, at fome convenient opportunity in fiimmer, be got from a good old pafturs or comfnon, where the foil inclines to a clay, by digging only fix inches deep from the furfacej for the grafs roots that depth, when decayed, will greatly fertilife the foil. This turfy part muft have mixed with it an equal quartity of the very befl ftable dung or neat's dung, that has pafled a ftate of tiorough fermentation, and is per- fectly decayed ; and the whole muft tien be well cut with fpades and thrown into an heap. In the autumn and winter following, lofe no op- portunity of turning the heap and cuting it very fmall. If the winter fhould prove frofty, the whole will by le fpring be properly mixed and digefted, provided it has been well labored. LIGHT SANDV EARTH. The Light Sandy Earth muft be ag only fix inches deep from the furface, and ft^ould be got from a mooDr old pafture, where the foil is naturally of a very light or findy nature This earth fhould have no ma- nure whatever in it, for the ufe of it wi be occafionally to mix with the ftrong manured foil to reduce its cohefivcnature, or to grow fucculents and other plants and fhrubs that requireiglit dry foil without manure The whole of this light earth muft be thwn up in an heap, well turned and cut to pieces in winter, and by th enfuing fpring it will be in high perfedion for ufe. LIGHT ( 126 ) LIGHT MIXED EARTH. The Light Mixed Earth confifts of the fweepnigs of paved flreets, which it is beft to colledl in a damp, not dufty, ftate, any time in fummer or autumn. It requires to be laid in an heap, and turned as frequently as poffible in winter, and it will be in a fit ftate for ufe in the fpring. This mixed earth is made up of various /oils ; and a number of manures, both animal and vegetable, are nicely canpounded and incorporated in it, be- yond the power of art to equal; nd any plant that requires a light foil, and which would be hurt by an aptilication of manures in any other way, is not injured by the manure confined in this mixed earth, but thrives prodigioufly in it. This earth, bjreafon of the adlion or fridion of the wheels of carriages, horfes feet, aid various other things, is rendered of an extremely prolific nature, whici it retains, and is very ufeful indeed in the management of ftove and gjen-houfe plants. I know of no neceffity that the is to be prepared with any other forts of foil than thofe above defcribJ, provided they are kept in feparate heaps j for they may be at any tie occafionally mixed, fo as to prepare, for immediate ufe, a compofitionhat will keep in high prefervation the TOoft rare and tender plant ia the liiverfe.

TMPRESSED with every grateful fentiment, I beg leave, with all pof- fible fubmiffion, to tender my warmeft thanks to the very honurable fupporters of my endeavor. To refled upon the high honor that has been done me, is gratifying in the extreme ! By the nature of the foregoing work, I have been precluded from in- troducing any remark on the hiftory of gardening, and deprived of an opportunity of contrafting the modern with the ancient tafte j but with great humility I now venture (my engagements being fulfilled) to hope for the indulgence of oifering to my readers a few lines upon thofe fubjeds, fully relying upon their candour to pardon any defedt or impropriety. Gardening is one of the firft arts that (lands recorded in the annals of the world ! It ever afforded the moft: rational and pleafmg relaxation, and men of fenfe thiift after its improvements. It ( 128 ) It Is matter of furprife that the prefent ftile of gardening is of fo late a date ; for in Milton's time (who died in 1674) wc are clearly informed that it had not been introduced into England. It is not above feventy years fince Evergreens, Box, and Yew Hedges, cut and pruned into animals and various ftrange forms, were the wonder of Britain, as they flill arc, and, for good reafons, muft continue to be of Sweden, and other Northern countries. The approach to every houfe of confequence was, at the time alluded to, by a range of fmall gardens, compofed of gravel-walks, with grafs-plots or flower-borders on the fides; each little garden rifing above the other, (ge- nerally by Heps) and divided by walls and iron gates; and it was much later than the above date, before fuch barbarifms began to fubfide, and make way for true and natural elegance. Nothing was perhaps more conducive to the introdu6tion of the amiable fimplicity of nature into the gardens of this kingdom, and confequent banidiment from thence of the abfurd fcenes of art above alluded to, than the univerfal reading of a celebrated paper in the Guardian, which, I think, muft continue to operate as the (Irongeft antidote againft a return of the deformities of Garden Tonfure, and the almoft exploded tafte of Garden Sculpture. (See the Guardian, vol. II. page 346. No. 173. Who ( 129 ) Who can fufficiently admire the boundlefs imagination of Milton, our great and celebrated poet, in his defcription of the Garden of Eden ! Though Milton was furrounded by darknefs, and lived at a time when the above-mentioned fantaftic figures were the only furniture of our principal gardens, he thought them far beneath that Omnipotent Hand which planted Paradise! He viewed with an intelledual prophetic eye the de- lightful profpedt of modern gardening in perfedl elegance ! And his de- fcription of the Garden of Eden being a true and magnificent pidure of the prefent ftyle, I (hall beg leave to quote it at length as the ftandard of tafle. (Milton's Paradise Lost, book 4. page 85. line 223.) Southward " Through Eden went a river large, " Nor chang'd his courfe, but through the fliaggy hill " Pafs'd underneath ingulph'd, for God had thrown *' That mountain as his garden mound, high rais'd " Upon the rapid current, which through veins " Of porous earth, with kindly thirft updrawn, '• Rofe a frefh fountain, and with many a rill '* Water'd the garden." Thence united, fell Down the fteep glade and met the nether flood. Which from his darkfome paflage now appears j And now divided into four main flreams. Runs diverfe, wand'ring many a famous realm And country, whereof here needs no account; R But ( ^3° J But r.vthcr to tell iiow, if art could tell, How " From that {^iphir fount the crifped brooks •• Rolling on orient pearl and fands of gold, *• With mazy error under pendent fliades " Ran netftar, vifiting each plant, and fed " Flow'rs worthy of Paradife, which NOT NICE ART " IN BEDS AND CURIOUS KNOTS, but NATURE BOON " Pour'd forth profufe ON HILL, AND DALE, AND PLAIN, " Both where the morning fun firft warmly fmote " The OPEN FIELD, and where the unpierc'd fhadc " Imbrown'd the noontide-bow'rs. — Thus was this place, " A HAPPY RURAL SEAT OF VARIOUS VIEW: " Groves whofe rich trees wept od'rous gums and balm j " Others, whofe fruit burnifli'd with golden rind, " Hung amiable, Hefperian fables true ; " If true, here only, and of delicious tafte : " Betwixt them lawns, or level downs, and flocks " Grafing the tender herb,, were interpos'd " Or palmy hillock ; or the flow'ry lap " Of fome irriguous valley fpread her ftore, " Flow'rs of all hue, and without thorn the rofc» " Another fide, umbrageous grots and caves " Of cool recefs, o'er which the mantling vine " Lays forth her purple grape, and gently creeps ** Luxuriant : Meanwhile murm'ring waters fall ♦* Down the flope hills, difpers'd or in a lake, «* That ( 131 ) " That to the fringed bank with myrtle crown'd, " Her cryflal myrror holds, unite their ftreams." Paradise was bounded by our poet in the following words, which convey to the mind as grand imaginations as can be well conceived.

FERRARIA.— Propagated by feed and off-fets;— if by feeds, they fhouid be fown in pots of light earth, and managed as the feeds of other tender Exotics ; — if by off-fets, they mud be planted in good loamy earth, and have occafional waterings. — It is very fingular in this plant, that the roots only vegetate every other year, and fometimes every third year, remaining in the intermediate time very found and good, though in a dormant ftate. FICUS. — The propagation and culture of thefe plants, which abound with a milky juice, is nearly the fame as the Indian-Fig (fee Cactus) ' only the cuttings mud be laid in the fhade two or three days to heal their wounds ; — plant in fandy earth; — too much moirturc will in- fallibly deftroy them, FLACOURTIA. ( 46 ) FLACOURTIA.— Here I am alfo under the necelTity of referring my Reader to my remark upon the Brucea and Cadia. — I muft own it would give me fecret pleafure to behold and carefully cultivate this plant, in honourable remembrance of the brave and celebrated Fla- COURT.

HEBENSTRETIA. — Same propagation and culture as Gr atiola; — but ufe light loam. HEDYSARUM. — All this family are propagated by feed, which muft' be fown in light earth, and when fit to move, muft be planted into the light mixed earth. — The ChinesI; Moving Plant has, by fome writers, been given as a biennial, by others as an abiding plant ; in this place I cannot determine that point, as the plant has not been long enough in my poffefTion, but it appears in the Thirik Stove as if it would continue longer than two years, and I rather conceive it to be perennial or abiding. I wifh to inform my readers that its motion is voluntary, and not occafioned by the fame caufes as either the Dion^a or Mimosa's. In a calm afternoon after a hot morning, when every thing is ftill within the ftove, and the internal air not agitated, the fmall leaves in different parts of the plant will conftantly keep rifing up and falling down. HELICONIA.^ — The fame propagation and culture as Gronovia.

HURA. — This fine plant, whofe ample leaves retain a peculiar verdure all the year, is propagated by feed fown in light earth, in the ufual way ; — give it water freely in fummer. — By the appearance of a plant v^hich I faw in Mr. Weddell's ftove near Ripon, I have no doubt but ( 55 > but that the plant may be propagated by cuttings, properly managed and taken in the fummer months^ HYACINTHUS. — Propagated by parting its roots; — plant in loamy earth, and water occafionally. HYDROCOTYLE.— Propagated by feed in the ufual way, alfo by part- ing its roots ; — ufe the light mixed earth j — water occafionally. HYMENiEA. — Propagated by feed fown in light earth ; — only put one feed in a pot. — They partake much of the nature of the Cashew- Nut-Tree (fee Anacardium.) HYOSCYAMUS. — Propagated by cuttings in any of the fummer months; — ufe the light mixed earth, and water occafionally. — Is a tender plant, and requires a good green-houfe in winter. HYPERICUM. — All the flirubby forts may be propagated by feed, cut- ings taken in the fummer months, and by fuckers from the roots ;^ the herbaceous perennial forts by feed and parting the roots ; — the Chinefe may be propagated by flips from the rootsj and laying the branches in the fpring; — ufe the light mixed earth; — give occafional waterings. HYPOXIS.^ — All propagated and managed as the Hydrocotyle. JACQUINIA. t 56 ) JACQUINIA. — Propagated by feed, which rauft be fown and treated hi the ufaal way as other feeds of fuch-iike plants from the fame countries, JASMINUM. — This family of plants, of extraordinary beauty and fra- grance, may all be propagated by feed, and by laying down the branches ; — but the method by which they have all been freely grovv'n in the Thirfk Stove, is by cuttings, chofen and managed in the fame way as the Double Cape Jasmine (fee Gardenia.) — Indeed I dillike laying the branches of the Double Arabian Jasmine, for I loft a beautiful full-grovvn plant by that means. — A fmall layer or two to be fure ftruck root, but that was a poor compenfation for the lofs of a large mother plant. — It fhould be remarked, that the three laft forts flower beft by being placed in the ftove in fummer, and preferved in the green-houfe in winter. JATROPHA. — The Casava is propagated by cutting its ftalks into lengths of fix or eight inches, which when planted foon ftrike root; — and all the others in the fame manner as the Manchineel-Tree (fee Hippomane.) IBERIS. — Propagated by cuttings, which muft Ijc planted in fandy earth;— when tranfplanted, give them moderate waterings. ILEX. — Propagated by feed fown in the ufual manner. ILLECEBRUM. T S7 ) ILLECEBRUM.— All propagated by feed 3— the flirubby fort alfo by cuttings, and the herbaceous perennial kinds likewife by partino- the roots J — the whole require the fame treatment as the different forts of the Hibiscus. ILLICIUM. — Propagated by feed fown and managed in the fame manner as the Jacquiniaj — the young branches laid in foft loamy earth will fometimes ftrike. — Two plants have at different times been grown from cuttings in the Thirfk Stove. — Indeed it is a plant of dif- ficult propagation and culture, which is the caufe of its fcarcity in Europe.

LANTANA. — All propagated by feed, which requires the fame manage- ment as the feeds of the Lagerstr^mi a j— but all this family are eafily raifed from cuttings planted in light loam, and occafionally watered ; — yet the handfomeft plants are by feed. LAURUS, — The propagation and culture of this odoriferous and juftly celebrated, family of plants are as follov/: — The firft, fecond, feventh, eighth, and ninth, are by feed, which fliould be gathered full ripe in their native countries, and brought over in wax; — on their arrival here, fow them in pots 'of light earth, andiwhen fit fliift them into pots of the light mixed earth, and treat them as other plants of the H 2 like ( 60 ) like nature iVom the lame hot countries. — The third, fourth, fifths and fixth forts may eadly be propagated by layers in the ufual me- thod ; — but ftill where berries even of thefe can be procured, they make the handfomeft plants, and therefore feed fhould be preferred. — Thefe latter forts love loamy earth, and all require occafional water- ings in fummer, but very little in winter. LAVANDULA. — This family is pretty hardy, are all of them rifen from feed, and alfo by cuttings, planted in any of the fummer months in- a Ihady border ; — water them occafionally ; — let them be tranfplanted^ into light loamy earth, and remain abroad till autumn. LAVATERA. — Propagation and culture fame as the lafl. LAWSONIA. — All propagated and managed in the fame way as the Coffee-Tree (fee Coffea) but be rather more fparing In water. — The leaves of the firft fort are ufed by the Egyptian ladies to colour their nails, yellow, which they efteem very ornamental. LEE A. — The firfl: fort is propagated by feed and cuttings in the ufual way, and requires the light mixed earth ; — the other by ofF-fets from the roots, and requires ftrong loam ; — water occafionally. LEONTICE. — Propagated by feed and off-fets from the roots, fown and planted in the ufual way ;— requires light loam, and a plentiful fupply of water. LEPIDIUM.

LEYSERA. — Propagation and culture fame as Lavandula. LIGHTFOOTIA. — Same management as the Leea. LIMEUM. — Propagation and culture fame as the Leucojum. LIMODORUM. — Propagated by off-fets from the roots, which Ihould be parted when the plants are leafl; vigorous ; — plant them in foft loamy earth, and water with caution. — With this treatment they flower well in the Thirik Stove. LIMONIA. — Propagation and culture fame as Lavendula, fave that a hot-bed mufl here be ufed inftead of a common border. LINUM. — Same management as the Leea, LIPARIA. — Same propagation and culture as the ihrubby forts of the Leea. LITHO- ( 62 ) LITHOSPERMUM. — Propagated by feed j — fow as foon as ripe;— ufc loamy earth j — harden the plants in open air till autumn ^ — water occafionally. LOBELIA. — All the flirubby kinds are rifen from feed, and like light loamy earth ; — the herbaceous perennials by' feed and parting the roots; — treat them feverally as other tender Exotics from the fame countries.

LYCIUM. — All propagated by feed, cuttings, and layers, treated in the ufual way J — make ufe of the light mixed earth, and give occafional waterings; LYCOPODIUM. — Same propagation and treatment as the Lychnis. MAHERNIA. — Propagation and culture fame as the Lotus. MALPIGHIA. — The propagation and culture of this family exadly the fame as the Bastard-Cherry (fee Ethretia.) MALVA. ( 63 ) MALVA. — Propagated by feed, cuttings, layers, and parting the roots, managed as other plants of the fame nature, the productions of the fame countries^ MAMMEA. — This tree is propagated by feed. — The feeds or nuts (whiclx are as hard as a marble) muft be fent over in wax to prevent the lofa of their vegetative quality ; — require a mod lively heat to make them grow J — but the bed method is to put the ftone under the bottom of the pot in the tan, and when fprouted, place it in the pot filled with light loam. — In three months the roots will have filled the fmall pot, at which time you muft learch the plant with care, and releafe it from the hard fhell which will adhere to it; — this operation is necefTi\ry, but muft be done with light fingers; — afterwards treat the plant in the fame manner as the Coffee-Tree (fee Coffea.) MANGIFERA. — Propagated by feed, which are not fo hard as the laft, but muft be fent over in wax ; — plant in pots of light earth, and treat them in the fame manner as the Mammea. — Or the feeds may, in their own country, be fbwn in boxes of light earth, pretty clofe to- gether, letting them remain there till the plants have acquired proper fize and ftrength to bear the voyage, in which they muft be defended from the fpray of the Tea, and be now and thea watered (but very fparingly) when they enter the temperate climates. MARANTA. — Propagated by parting their roots in March; — plant in light loam, and water fparingly till the green leaves appear, but after their appear- ( 64 ) appearance, give it freely all lummer : — In autumn their leaves de- cav. — In winter plunge the pots in the tan-bed, and give very little water, for they are then inadlive, and water would rot them;— the tan keeps them moift enough. — The laft fort, or True Indian Ar- row-Root, is cultivated in the gardens of the Weft Indies, being a remedy for the fting of wafps and other noxious infefts. It extracts the poifon of the Manchineel-Tree, and it is faid that the Indians expel with it the poifon of their arrows and darts, and by this me- thod : They take up the root, cleanfe it from dirt, mafli it, and then apply it as a poultice to the wounded partj it draws out the poifon, and heals the wound. It alfo flops a gangreen if applied before it is gone too far. If endowed with thefe fovereign qualities, it is a moft in- eftimable plant. Note. May it not be worth the attention of the faculty to try fome experiments with it in cancerous diforders ? MARRUBIUM. — All propagated by feed fown in the light mixed earth, and managed in the ufual way ; — alfo by parting the roots of the firft J — and the two others likewife by cuttings. MARTYNIA.— (See Gloxinia.) MASSONIA. — Propagation and culture fame as the Leucojum. MEDEOLA — Propagated and managed fame as the Lotus. MEDICAGO. { 65 ) MEDICAGO. — Propagated by feed managed in the ufual way. MELALEUCA. — (See obfervation upon the Eucalyptus.) MELANTHIUM. — Propagation and culture fame as the Leucojum, MELIA. — Both propagated by fowing the feed or nuts as foon as poffible in pots of light earth; — treat them as others of the fame nature from the fame countries. — They are fubjed to the Red Spider; as foon as a leaf turns yellow it is fure to be there, and demands im- mediate attention.* — It is faid the pulp which furrounds the nut is of a poifonous quality. — I give this hint as a caution. MELIANTHUS. — Both propagated by fide-fhoots, and cuttings taken in the fpring ; — ufe the light mixed earth ; — water occafionally. The plants are pretty hardy. MELICOCCA. — Mufl: be treated in the fame way as the Bead-Tree (fee Melia.) MELISSA. — Propagated by feed and cuttings, fown and planted in the fpring in pots, and treated in the ufual way. * I am told that the beft method of deftroying this pernicious infeft, is to put a proper (juantity of Flour of Sulphur into the wafla which is nfed for white-wafhin,^ houfes, and apply it with a brufli to the hot parts of the flues in the {\:ove. Good efFe£l will foon appear from its effluvia, and the difagreeable fmell wil' be of no long continuance. I MELOCHIA. ( 66 ) MELOCHIA. — Propagation and culture fame as the CoPArFER-A, MELODINUS. — Same propagation and culture as Mel6.leuca. MENTHA. — Same management as the Melissa. MENYANTHES. — Propagated by feed and parting the roots ;— ufe the ftrong loam, and water occafionally. MESEMBRYANTHEMUM.— The whole of this numerous family re- quire exadly the fame propagation and culture as the Cacalia and Cotyledon. — I muft not pafs over them without mentioning that fome of the forts produce moft beautiful flowers, and are well worth the peculiar care of the curious horticulturift. MESSERSCHMIDIA. — Propagated by feed, fown and managed in the ufual way; — alfo by cuttings taken in any of the fummer months; — ufe loamy foil, and water occafionally. MICHELIA. — Propagated by cuttings in the early part of fummer; — ufe light loam, and manage them in the ufual way. MIMOSA. — This family of delicate and muft curious Exotics are all raifed from feed, ufually fown in the fpring; but 1 ihould wifh them to be fown as foon as ever the feeds are received, whether it hap- pens in the fpring or not, efpecially if the feed has tome from abroad. ( 6; ) :aL)road, for I have found by experience that they will not long keep good. — They have no different method of treatment from other feeds of tender woody plants from the countries of which thefe plants are native. — Ufe the light mixed earth, and water the plants occafional- ly. — They fliould not be fuffered to root much through the bottom of the pot into the tan, for in drawing up the pots the roots will be broke, and thereby greatly injure the plant. — I have heard that no cattle will browfe upon the Sensitive and humble plants in their native countries, and that their leaves and branches contain a flow but fure poifon, which the Indians can extradl, and with it kill by de- grees.— If thefe plants have fo deftrudlive a quality, how wonderfully are they endowed with fenfibility to caution the unwary againfl too great freedom, and to fliun the lurking danger. MIRABILIS. — The firfl is propagated by feed, which requires to be fowa in light loam, and to have moderate waterings. — The fecond requires the like treatment, and in Yorkfhire mufl have protection, though in the vicinity of London it is faid to be a hardy plant. MONETIA. — Propagated by feed, which mufl: have fimilar treatment as other feeds which come from the fame hot and diftant regions, MONSONIA. — Thefe beautiful flowers are rifen from feed in the com- mon way; — alfo by ofF-fets or parting the roots; — plant in loamy earth, and give water occafionally. I 2 MONTINIA. C 68 y MONTINIA.— Propagated by feed and cuttings, both managed in the common method ; — ufe loamy earth, and give moderate waterings occafionally. » MORiEA. — All propagated by feed fown in pots of light loam, and treated the fame as others from the fame country. — The herbaceous perennial forts may alfo be propagated by parting their roots or bulbs, which fhould be planted in good loam j — they will by this method flower much fooner than if rifen by feed. MORUS. — This plant grows very freely from feed; — fow in light earth; — when the plants are up and fit to remove, plant them into fingle pots filled with light loam, and water occafionally. MURRAYA. — ^Propagated in the fame way as the MoRus. MUSA. — Thefe rare and wonderful plants, celebrated for their food and iliade, are propagated by fuckers, which fometimes arife even when the plants are vigorous, but more plentifully when they are mif- managed or ftinted in their growth ; — plant them in any of the fummer months in pots of light earth; — when they begin to grow freely, (hift them into larger pots filled with fine rich loam ; — give them water in plenty in fummer, and moderately in winter. — Con- trary to the general rule let thefe plants have pots large in proportion to their fize. MYRICA. ( 69 ) MYRICA.— All propagated by laying down their branches in the ufual method, but they do not take root freely ; — they will alfo grow (but not well) from cuttings, managed in the fame way as the Double Cape Jasmine (fee Gardenia.) — It is not unworthy of remark here, that a large plant of the firft fort has, in the Thirflc Garden, put up a number of fuckers, by which method it feems it may be alfo increafed. MYRSINE. — Propagation and culture fame as the laft. MYRTUS. — The propagation and early culture of this beautiful family of Evergreens are as follow : — Make choice of cuttings of all the hardy forts in June or July, from the mod vigorous young flioots, with a little part of the wood that is beginning to harden, which is better than if quite ripe, for if it is quite hardened, it would, before plant- ing, require to be twilled at the bottom; — ftrip off the leaves from the bottom part of the cutting, cut the lower end of it hori- zontally and quits fmooth with a very (harp pen- knife ; — plant the cuttings in light rich loam, clofe the earth well about them, and water immediatelyj — place the pots under a common hot-bed frame in cxhauiled dung or tan, which will keep them in a molftllatcj — fhade In the heat of the day ; — give air in proportion to the warmth of the feafon, and water gently every two or three days as the earth in the pots require it; — tranfplant into rich loam, compofed of equal parts of the ftrong loam and the light mixed earth ; when tranf- planted, keep them in a fomewhat flieltered fituation till autumn, when ( 7° ) when they mu ft behoufedj — water plentifully in fummer, but mode- rately in winter. — The tender forts may be propagated by feed, which muft be brought over in wax, and fown in pots of the fame fort of earth as the others, but muft be plunged in the tan-bed of the ftove, and have a very vigorous heat. — I have been told that the Allspice, WcoLLY-LEAVED, and other tender Myrtles, will grow by cuttings in a moderate warmth, which I am the more apt to believe, as laft autumn fome Allspice cuttings feemed to have ftruck root with me, bat the feverity of this early winter (1791) foon put an end to their exiftence. — However I have many times before tried to ftrike the cut- tings of the tender forts of this family, and always failed. NEPETA. — Propagated by feed and parting its roots in the common way; — it is pretty hardy; — ufe fandy foil. NERIUM. — When in perfecflion there is not, I think, a more brilliant plant in the creation than the Double Oleander. — The fymmetry of its ftem, the beautiful form and verdure of its leaves, added to the profufion of richly-variegated fweet-fcented flowers that crown the plant, compels me here to proclaim it a favourite. Thefe plants will grow either by cuttings or layers;— the latter is the furer method; — perform the work as you do for common Car- nations;— ufe the fame preparation of earth as for Myrtles (fee Myrtus ;)— water freely in fummer, but in winter very fparingly, efpecially ( 7^ ) efpecially the double forts, which do befl: when, during the winter, kept in a very good green-houfe, and in the fpring removed from thence into the ftove, to fwell their buds and flower there. — With this treatment the Double Oleander has been defervedly admired in the Thirik Stove by many beholders, NICOTIAN A. — Propagated by feed fown and managed in the ufual way. NISSOLIA. — Propagated by feed, and the culture the fame as is ufual for other plants from the fame country. NYCTANTHES. — Propagation by layers, in the very fame way as the Double Oleander (fee Neriumj) — alfo by cuttings, managed as the Double Cape Jasmine (fee Gardenia.) NYMPH^A. — This and many other kinds of Water-Plants from the hot countries cannot, without great difficulty and an expenfive apparatus, be cultivated here with proprietey ; for unlefs there is a proper contrivance to hold (landing water in the ftove in which the plants are to be planted or the feeds fown, they will not fucceed.— Such water will very foon ftagnate, become offcnfive, and by its damp effluvia be pernicious to other plants ; fo that a proper ftove apartment (hould be contrived on purpofe for their reception, for I do not think them proper furniture for the general hot-houfe, nor is it worth while for any but the fcientific botanifl to cultivate them in the ftove. OCYMUM, ( 72 ) . OCYMUM. — Propagated by feed and cuttings in the ufual way. CENOTHERA. — Same propagation and culture as the laft. OLEA. — All propagated by laying down their tender branches in the manner praftifed for other tender trees and fhrubs j — they are two years in ftriking; — ufe the light mixed earth; — water fparingly ; — fo far the Britifli culture. — Fine plants are annually brought over from the South of Europe, which is the beft way of obtaining the Euro- pean Olive-Trees. — I have heard that the Chinefe, by a prepa- ration of the flowers of the fweet-fcented Olive or Quaj-fa, give a fcent to the fine Teas. — To be fure the fmell of the flower of that elegant Evergreen refembles the perfume of the fine Teas, but it is incomparably more fragrant. OLYRA. — Propagation and culture fame as the Moksonia, but re- quire lighter earth and lefs water. OMPHALEA. — Same treatment as the Nissolia. ONONIS. — All propagated by feed, cuttings, and parting the roots in the ufual way. OPHIOXYLUM. — Same treatment as the Nissolia. ORCHIS. — Propagated by ofF-fets from the roots; — ufe good loam, and water occafionally. ORIGA- ( 73 ) ORIGANUM.— All propagated by (std, cuttings, and parting the roots; — ufe fandy earth ; — water occafionally. ORNITHOGALUM.— Eafily propagated by fuckers or ofF-fets from the roots ; — thofe of the Cape require ftrong loam ; — the others lighter earth, and more heat; — water freely in fummer, but more moderately in winter.

OXALIS. — All fame treatment as the Ikft; — are pretty hardy. PALMA. — Miller's Palms. — The different forts of thefe great curio- fities will be found under their feveral lieads, in various parts of the Catalogue of Abiding Plants, which amount to a f^ir greater K number ( 74 ) number than thofe defcribed by Miller : However 1 thought it not cmifs to place Miller's List of Palms, fuch as they are, in z, body before my readers. But all the fpecies that we can enume- rate, feem only an epitome of the. wonderful family of the Palm %.-. for in the natural hiftory of the IQand of Luconia or Manilla, we are informed that there are forty well-known and diftindl fpecies of the Palm in the frequented parts of that Ifland, the principal of which are the Sago-Trees. I regret much to obferve that the Palm is not more freely introduced into the Britifli confervatories, for there is not a more noble or curious fight in the vegetable world than fome of the Fan-Palms, vvitnefs the two noble Corypha Umbraculifera at Orford, Lancafhire. They do honour to the worthy gentleman who is their owner. PALLASIA — Same propagation and culture as other v/oody plants from that country. PANAX. — Requires the fame treatment as the laft, but I believe it is moft readily propagated by cuttings, managed in the ufual way as the cuttings of other flirubs from the fame countries. — As I am told the feeds will not even grow in China, it (hould feem that this plant is a native of the hot parts of America. PANCRATIUM. — All propagated by fuckers or off-fets from the roots; — ufe light loam, and water occafionally ;— give thofe from the hot countries more heat than thofe from the more temperate regions.

PASPALUM, — Propagation and culture fame as the tender Panchatiums. PASSERINA. — Propagated by cuttings, in the fame way as the hardy forts of Myrtle, (fee Myrtus) and alfo by feed in the ufual method. PASSIFLORA. — The whole of this extraordinary beautiful and celebrated family of plants are propagated by feed, but more fpeedily, and with much greater eafe, by cuttings taken in any of the fummer months;— « plant five or fix of them together in a fnall pot filled with light loam prefled clofe, and then gently watered ; — when ftruck root, plant them into feparate pots filled with rich light loam ; — water pretty freely in fummer, but fparingiy in winter. — The fecond fort, or Granadilla, at Hare wood- Houfe- in Yorkshire, under the management of Mr. Ro- bert Chapman (Lord Harewood's Gardener) whofe abilities and profeflional fkill are of the firfl: rate, feems perfedly at home, and to K z enjoy ( 76 ) enjoy as much health and vigour as if it were in the Illand of Ja- maica.— The culture of the full-grown plant is as follows : — In De- cember the plant (which fliould be trained with one main ftem till it reaches the roof of the ftove) is pruned, and only two or three joints or eyes of the young wood from the ftem left upon it 3 — in that flate the plant remains (in the fame pot or tub) in the tan-bed of the ftove till February or March, when it ufually begins to make young flioots;~the roots or ball of earth is then cut intirely round within fix inches of the ftem (provided it is in a cubical pot or tub of two feet fquare) immediately adding frefh foil, and giving water to fettle the earth j — keep the flove clofe, and flwde the plant till it has ftruck- frefh roots, when it may have air and water; — requires a great fupply of water whilft in blolTom, and the large fruit are fwelling. — The. poffciror of a ftove of any elegance, will be highly gratified with the extraordinary beauty of the Granadilla and Water-Lemon, in cafe he manages them as above directed ; for they are fplendid orna- ments. PAULLINIA. —Propagation and culture by feed and cuttings, fown and managed as the leed of other tender woody plants from the fame countries, but they have no beauty whatever to recommend them.

PHCENIX. — Same culture and propagation as the Great Fan-Palm. and Cabbage-Tree (fee Areca.) PHYLICA.— All propagated by cuttings, Vv'hich may be taken and planted either in the fpring or in Auguft; — if in Augufl, they will do in a ihady border without any artificial heat;— but if in fpring, they mufl: have a gentle heat. PHYLALNTHUS. ( 78 ) PHYLLANTHUS. — Are propagated by feed, which fliould be brought over in wax, and fown in light loam, be carefully tranfplanted, and have gentle waterings. — The fecond fort is a very curious flirub, the leaves ^re of a fliining green, and the flowers are produced upon the edges of the leaves, which appear fingularly beautiful. PIIYSALIS. — All propagated by feed, parting the roots, or by cuttings in the ufual way, but thofe from the hot countries require a greater heat than the others. PHYTEUMA. — Propagated by feed fown in the ufual way, and alfo by parting the roots; — plant in the light mixed earth; — water occa- fionally. PHYTOLACCA. — Propagation and culture fame as Physalis, PIPER. — The firfl: fort is propagated by feed fown in light loam, and re- quires moderate waterings. — The other forts by parting their roots, or by fuckers, or off-fets from them; — require fame earth, but very little water. — They will likewife grow by cuttings, which fliould be laid to dry a few days in the fliade (efpecially the blunt-kaved) before they are planted, being of a fucculent nature. PISCIDIA. — Propagated by feed ; — ufe light earth, and manage in the ufual way. PISONIA. ( 79 ) PISONIA.^ — Propagation and culture fame as the Piper.

POINCIANA. — Thefe beautiful exotic flirubs are rifen from feed fown in light earth in February, or as foon in the year as poflible, and watered cccafionallyj — get them tranfplanted as foon as they are ready into the light mixed earth, and ufe the utmoft diligence to get the plants for- ward in fummer, in order to face the winter, for I have not been abla in the Thirfk Stove to carry a weak plant over winter. — I muft re- mark, that Mr. Stewart, (a very {li.ilful and ingenious man in his profelfion) gardener to John Blackburne, Efq; M. P. grows thefe plants from ftrong cuttings, which I think is a very good method, for thofe ftrong woody cuttings are far better able to face our winters than weak and tender feedlings. POLIANTHES. — Propagated by ofF-fets from the roots j — plant in light loam ; — water occafionally ; — plunge them in the tan-bed of the ftove, and they will flower brilliantly.

N2 DIRECTIONS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF SEEDS, &c f I ^HE befl method to preferve large feeds, nuts, and acorns for a -*" whole year or upwards unplanted in a ftate of vegetation, with a view to bring over the moft valuable feeds from the Eaft and Well Indies, and other remote and hot parts of the globe, Choofe out the plumpeft and mofl: ripe feeds, nuts, or acoriis, wipe them very clean, then take melted bees wax, pour it over a China plate about half an inch deep j as foon as the wax is cool, but ftill pliable, cut out with a pen-knife as much as will inclofe one feed, 6cc. wrap it round and roll it between the hands till the edge of the wax is perfedly united, and not the leaft crack to be perceived, and fo cover as many feeds, fingly, as you mean to pack up. When they are quite cold and hard, prepare an oval chip box of about i&stw inches long, four and a half broad, and three and a half deep; into this pour melted bees wax to the depth of an inch and a half, and when you can bear your finger in the wax without any inconvenience, lay the covered feeds, &c. at the bottom in rows as clofe as you can together, afterwards other rows over them till the box is full. ( I02 ) full, and when the firfl wax begins to cool, pour fome more wax, that is barely fluid, over the uppermofl: feeds till they are quite covered. In order to cool the box as foon as poflible, place it near a window in the fhade, where the fa(h is raifed a little to let a llreani of cold air upon it; when the whole is almofi: cold, if the wax has flirunk a little here and there and left fome chinks, let them be immediately filled up with very foft wax, preffing it very clofe and fmooth. After the wax is quite cold and hard, put on the cover of the box, and place it in the cooleft and dryeft part of the fiiip, to prevent the bees wax from being affcfted with the heat of the Eafl: and Weft Indies, which far exceeds our hottefl fummers. No other fubftance or mixture whatever is comparable to bees wax ; but the chief care in the procefs, is to mind that the bees wax is not applied too hot. Small feeds in their pods may be preferved by being placed thinly on pieces of paper, cotton, or linen cloth, that have been dipped in wax, then rolled up tight, and well fecured from air by a further covering of bees wax, and afterwards hung up in an airy and cool part of the fliip's cabin.

The Size of the Squares of Glafs fiiould be about 8 Lnches by 6 Inches, lap over about 3-8ths of an Inch, and the Groove in the Wood-Work to receive them about an Inch deep; they will then be fcldom hurt even with the fevereft Hail-Storm, provided they are not tacked down, or ftrained by the Glazier, which is often the Cafe, and is a very pernicious Cuftom : That Point ought to have proper Attention. A Covering or Shutters to the Glafs of the Green-Houfe, or Stove, in the coldeft Seafon, is not advifed, being unnscefTary, and attended with great Inconvenience. •iii pi&m i 1, I u»iiin|i J. - A 'l7ir-^Jtkm.fri) A I J.Ri'ivn/ .wiil/i'. yM//f ,//„/ (^ ^/rrr////'// ,/ r, ///'////= \ VTT T7u-fj1tkvur/i^nii '}'t/.- n i ^ Liiil ] I I I I I I 1 I I I M I I 1' Bl U\/^W'"-''"^" ' //p//.ir „, //„ > >!/)// /r f /y/r/ m ^ c J.Reivnl stii^'.
