 " plants generally produce in plenty; these should be sown " in autumn, soon after they are ripe, either in a shady moist " border, or in pots, which should be placed in the shade; in " the spring, the plants will come up, and must then be kept " clean from weeds; and, if the season proves dry, they must " be frequently refreshed with water: nor should they be ex - " posed to the sun; for while the plants are young, they are " very impatient of heat, so that I have known great numbers " of them destroyed in two or three days, which were growing " to the full sun. These young plants should not be trans - " planted till the leaves are decayed, then they may be care - " fully taken up and planted in a shady border, where the soil " is loose and moist, at about eight inches distance from each " other, which will be room enough for them to grow one " year, by which time they will be strong enough to produce " flowers, so may then be transplanted into some shady borders " in the flower-garden, where they will appear very ornamental " during the continuance of their flowers."
