Dorothea of Holland The Cock Hovaniere Augustus Fair Frances Count Mansfield Salamander All these Gilliflowers and some others of lesser note I observed the last season in flower in the Garden of Mr. Rickets of Hogsden before mentioned These are the varieties of the best Gilliflowers now in being they flower chiefly from the middle of July to the same time in August and in hot Somers some of them will seed which must be carefully looked unto and gathered as soon as ripe lest rains in Autumn destroy it These seeds are to be sowed very thin upon a bed of good fresh earth after rain in the beginning of April the Plants well grown taken up in some rainy season and set again in rows a foot asunder where the year following they will bear flowers some double but more single which may be pulled up and cast away as soon as discovered leaving only those with double flowers Plant your best Gilliflowers in pots which must be placed to bear flowers where they may have the morning Sun only for the after-noon Sun doth the plants much harm water them in their necessity gently to moisten the earth by degrees for too much wet rots the small fibres therefore take heed your pots be not over wet at the bottome neither would these flowers be long wet on the leaves Every year some of them will die set not another in the same earth but take it out and fill the pot again with that which is fresh for earth in pots will spend it self more than that in Beds and requireth to be yearly renewed from such stocks as escape the Winter after bearing take as much of the earth as you can out of the pot without hurting the roots and fill it up again with that which is fresh in Winter and to the middle of April that the weather grows hot water in the morning after in the evening putting water to the roots not wetting the branches When your flowers are spindled bind them to sticks and nip off all superfluous buds that the flowers of such you leave may be the fairer stick hollow Kix and the Cleies of Beasts upon the ends of sticks about your pots into which Earwigs and black Insects in the night will creep which may be taken in the morning and destroyed when the flowers begin to appear open the points of the pods to give them liberty and those pods which break bind with a narrow list of the thin film of a Gold-beaters old mould which wet will stick together keep the flower round and scarcely be perceived but those that are not provided with this may cut some of the bark from a withy stick fit it to the place and thrust it into the pod to hold up the drooping side of the flower when they have done bearing cut away the stalks and in rainy seasons which often happen in Autumn lay the pots down on the sides to prevent the taking of too much wet The greatest care required in the preservation of these Plants is in Winter in which season they are to be defended from great rains snows and long frosts as also from the North and East winds therefore if you have a convenient house with large dores that they may not want air place them therein as soon as admonished by the first frosts giving them at all times unless in the night and in time of frost as much air as the house will afford and if you find them dry in open weather gently water them with water qualified with a little Sheeps dung not wetting the leaves especially after a long frost which will settle the earth to the roots let not your pots be too wet by any means and if too dry frost doth them the more harm In February and March in fair days often set them forth and sometimes let them receive a gentle shower but take them in at night in April cut away the dead leaves fill the pots that want with good earth and place them where they are to stand to bear flowers Those that want a convenient house to winter these tender Plants may place the pots close to a South or West wall where with thin boards supported over them they may be defended from the forementioned prejudices and by taking off the boards aired at pleasure this way is by most Florists preferred before housing and practised with better success for Gilliflowers so much affect an open and free air that if they want it they will soon ascertain the owner by his loss the verity of this period As for Clove Gilliflowers and others of the more ordinary kind such may be set on banks or beds and increased as the former the chiefest care required about them is to shake off the snow and to defend them from excessive wet in Winter you may preserve them from long hard frosts by putting pease-straw rotted to dust two fingers thick about their roots For various colours Tulips most excel And some Anemonies do please 〈◊〉 well Ranunculus in richest Scarlets shine And Bears-ears may with these in beautie joyn But yet if ask and have were in my power Next to the Rose give me the Gilliflower Caryophilli Sylvestres PInks are of many sorts and little esteem they only serve to set the sides of borders in spacious Gardens and some of them for posies mixed with the buds of Damask Roses most of them are single and there are some that bear double flowers the best those which are called the feathered Pinks they have broad leaves deeply cut in and jagged at the edges whereof there is white light red and bright purple and some with a deeper or paler purple spot in the middle the best of these are the feathered Pink of Austria and that with the large deep purple spot in the bottom the common single Pinks are not worth
