The firft fort grows naturally on banks, and by tlie 

 fide of foot-paths, in moft parts of England, fo is 

 rarely admitted into gardens, where it v/ould foon be- 

 come a troublcfomc v/ecdj for the roots creep far un- 

 der the furfaceof the ground, fo that unlefs they are 

 flopped, they will foon fpread over a large fpace of 

 ground ; but as this plant is ufed in medicine, I have 

 here mentioned it. This flowers in June, at which 

 time the herb is in perfection for ufe. 

 The Moxa, fo famous in the eaftern countries for 

 curing the gout by burning of the part affefted, is 

 the lanugo, or down, which is on the under part of 

 the leaves, of a fort of Mugwort, which is fuppofed 

 to be different from our comm.on fort, but the dried 

 famples which I have feen brought to England for 

 that, appear to differ in nothing but the fize of the 

 plant, that being much lefs ; and I fuppofe the foft 

 down of the common fort, or of any other plant, will 

 anfwer the purpofe full as well. 

 The fecond fort grows naturally in Siberia; this rifes 

 up with fingle ftalks about two feet high, which are 

 garnifhed with plain, narrow, fpear-fliaped leaves, 

 cut into acute fegments on their edges, fomewhat 

 like thofe of Buckfliorn Plantain ; the flowers come 

 out from the wings of the leaves in fmall loofe fpikes, 

 and near the top they are often fingle ; thefe are larger 

 than thofe of the common fort, and are of a pale 

 yellow colour. 



This fort is as hardy as the common, and multiplies 

 as faft, fo is only preferved in botanic gardens for the 

 fake of variety. 



The third fort grows naturally near the fea, in Italy, 

 Spain, and France, but is hardy enough to live in 

 the open air in England, provided it is planted in a 

 dry foil: it grows too feet high, having many ligneous 

 branches, which are terminated by fpikes of flowers, 

 which have little beauty, therefore the plants are pre- 

 ferved in gardens for the fake of variety. 

 The fourth fort is the common Tarrao-on, which is 

 frequently ufed in fallads, efpecially by the French : 

 this is a very hardy plant, which propagates greatly 

 by its creeping roots, or may be multiphed faft by

are duly fupplied with water in dry weather, will foou 

 fpread and meet. 



The fifth fort grows naturally in China, but is hardy 

 enough to thrive in the open air here. It is an annual 

 plant, which feldom comes up the firft year, if the 

 feeds are fown in the fpring -, therefore it is much 

 better to let the feeds fcatter in the' autumn, becaufe 

 thefe will more furcly grow, than thofe fown by 

 hand. 



The fixth fort is the common Southernwood, which is 

 kept in gardens for the agreeable fcent of its leaves ; 

 it is a low under flirub, feldom rifing more than three 

 or four feet high, fending out lateral flirubby branches 

 growing ere6t, garnifned with five briftly leaves. 



having an agreeable fcent when bruifed : the flowers 



are produced in fpikes from the extremity of the 



branches, but unlefs the autumn proves warm and 



dry, the flowers rarely open in England. 



This is propagated by flips and cuttings, planted in 



a fliady border, about the beginning of April, 



obferving to water them duly in dry weather ; in 



this border they may remain till the followMnp* 



autumn, when they Ihould be tranfplantcd, either 



into pots or thofe parts of the garden where they 



are defigned to remain. 



The feventh fort is a ver}' low under flirub, th^ 



branches bend near the ground, fo never rife mor^
