advance, they Ihould be fupported with a packthread, 

 which Ihould be faftened to nails driven into the pale, 

 or to the ftakes of the hedge, and run along before 

 tlie flems, to draw them upright clofc to the hedge 

 or pale, otherwifc they will be liable to break with 

 the ilrong winds. Obferve aUb to keep them clear 

 from weeds, and about tlie beginning of July your 

 feeds will begin to ripen-, therefore, as foon as you 

 find the feeds are quite ripe, you mufl cut oiT the 

 ftalks, and expofe them to the fun upon a coarfe cloth 

 to dry •, and then beat out the feecls, which muft be 

 dried, and put up in bags of paper, and preferved 

 for ufe in fome dry place. But I would here caution 

 you, not to wait ror all the feeds ripening upon the 

 ianie plant ; for if fo, all the firfl ripe and beft of 

 the feeds will fcatter and be loft before the other are 

 near ripei Co great a difference is there In the feeds 

 of the lanie plant being ripe. , , , . '.')^) [

 It grows near four feet high, with a branching hol- 

 low ttalk, garnilhed with winged leaves. The ftalks 

 are terminated by umbels of yellowifti flowers, which 

 are fucceeded by fmall channelled feeds like thofe of 

 Parfley. It flowers in June and July, and the feeds - 

 ripen in autumn.

'The fecond fort grows naturally in North America, 

 from whence the feeds have been brought to England, 

 where the plants are preferved in botanic gardens for 

 the fake of variety. This is propagated by feeds, 

 which ftiould be fown in autumn in a Ihady border, 

 where the plants will come up in the fpring, and re- 

 quire no other care but to keep them clean. 

 The third fort is a native of North America. This 

 . is fometimes preferved in botanic gardens for variety, 

 ■ but being a plant of no great beauty or ufe, is fel- 

 dom allowed a place in other gardens. It is propa- 

 gated by feeds, which ftiould be fown in autumn, and

It is a plant with an umheUated flower •, the principal 

 umhel is compofed of feveral fmalkr {called rays\) ihefe 

 are equaU roundijh^ and brifily : .the great umbel hath no 

 involucrum^ but the fmaUcr have, which are compofed of 

 tnarr/ Jkort leaves.. The flowers have each five' oval pe- 

 tals marly eqi^al^ which turn Inward ; they . have Jive 

 hairy ft aminay which ar§ longer than the petals ^ termi- 

 nated by Jingle fummits. The germen is Jituated behw 

 the flower y fupportingtwo flender ftyles^ which' are per- 

 manent and longer than the petals^ ' crowned byftigmas in 

 form of a head, ^e germen afterward becomes a roundifh 

 channelled fruit dividing into 'two par ts^ containing two 

 cvalfeedsy plain on ofiejide and convex on the other. ^! 

 This genus of plants is ranged in ^the fecond fec- 

 tion ot Linnseus's fifth clafs of plants, intitled Pen- 

 tandria Digynia, the flower having five 'ftamina and 

 two ftyles. The title of this genus has been gene- 

 rally applied to the common Hemlock, which 

 grows naturally on 'the bahks'by highways," lii^-noft 

 parts of England. ' But to that plant Dr. Linn^us 

 has applied the old title of Conium, and added this 

 title to the poifonbus Water Heinlock defcribed by 

 Webfer. ■ ^ . . ■- v , /
