which are removed at that feafon, will grow much 

 ftronger than thofe which are planted in the fpring, 

 which is the reafon of my preferring that feafon i but 

 they may be fafely tranfplanted any time after the 

 ftalks decay, till the roots begin to fhoot in the 

 fpring. As thefe roots greatly increafe, they fhould 

 be planted at a wide diftance from each other, that 

 they may have room to fpread ; for they (hould not 

 be removed oftener than every third or fourth year, 

 where they are expected to grow ftrong, and produce 

 a good number of ftalks, in which their beauty con- 

 fifts. The only culture thefe plants require, is to dig 

 the ground between them every fpring, and keep 

 them clean from weeds. ^ _ ^ 



The roots of the fifth fort are ufed in medicine, and 

 are greatly recommended for their efficacy in all man- 

 ner of contufions. The diftilled water of the plant 

 clears the face and beautifies the complexion : a de- 

 coftion of it cures the itch, and fuch like cutaneous 



diftempers.
