The firft fort is the common Chamomile, which 

 grows in plenty upon commons and other wafte land. 

 It is a trailing perennial plant, which puts out roots 

 from the branches as they lie on the ground, whereby 

 it fpreads and multiplies greatly ; fo that whoever is 

 -willing to cultivate this plant, need only procure a 

 few of the flips in the fpring, and plant them a foot 

 afunder, that they may have room to fpread, and they

 but thefe vary from feed; the eafl:ern forts grow

 but in other particulars they are the fam^, though

 The feeds of the twelfth fort were brought from A- 

 frica by the late Dr. Shaw, which were diftributed to 

 many curious botanifts in Italy, France, and England,

They rife ealily from fe^ds fown in the fpring, and 

 require no other culture but to thin the plants where 

 they are too clofe, allowing them a foot and a half

 flower in July, and their feeds ripen in September.
