 milky juice flows out, an^! thereby the roots are fov-^n 

 exhaufted and decay. Th'j roots of this for': are pretty 

 thick, extend far on every fide, and arc vrhitc. Tr.e 

 ftalks rife ten or twelve feet high, tv/ming themfelvcs 

 about trees or hedges, and are o-arniflied with kir'::e 

 arrow-pointed leaves, which are torn at their b?ll^ 

 The flowers come out from the fide of the branch.cs 

 upon long foot-ftalks, eachfuftaining one la;ge v/hite 

 flower, which arc fucceeded by roundifli feed-veftels, 

 having three cells filled with feeds, which are convex 

 on one fide and plain on the other. Jl flowers in 

 June, and the feeds ripen in autumn, foon after 

 which the ftalks decay to the root ; but as every linail 

 piece of the root will grow, it renders this a trouble- 

 fonie weed to deftrby. 

 I : .,The third fprt grows naturally in Syria, where the 

 roots of the plants are wounded, and ihells placed 

 under the wounds to receive the milky juice which 

 flows out, which is infpiluted, and afterward pun: p 

 and exported; this is whar is called Scammony intlie 

 fl:iops ; it is a very hardy plant, and will thrive very 

 well in the open air in England, provided it is on a 

 dry folk The roots of this are thick, run deep into 

 the ground, and are covered with a dark bark. The 

 branches extend themfelves on every fide to the dif-

tance of four or five feet ; thcfe 

 on the ground, if they are not fuppo^tcd, and are 

 garniftied with narrov/ arrow-pointed leaves. T\vz 

 flowers are of a pale yellovv, and come out from t!-e 

 fide of the branches, two fitting upon each long foot- 

 ftalk \ thefe are fucceeded by roundifli fecd-veficls, 

 having three cells, filled v/ith feeds fiiaped like tho'e 

 of ihc former fort, but fm.aller. It flov/ers in June 

 and July, and tiie feeds ripen in autumn. If the

The firft fort is very common upon dry banks, and 

 in gravelly grounds, in moft parts of England, and 

 ■ IS generally a fign of gravel lying under the fur- 

 face. The roots of this ftioot very deep into the 

 ground, from whence feme country people call it 

 Devils Guts. ^ ^. ^^ ^ 



From the root arifes many weak ft-alks, which trail I ' this fends out long branches, which twift about the 



of light earth, the plants will come up, and require 

 no other culture but to keep them clean from weeds, 

 and thin the plants where they grov/ too clofe • for 

 as the branches extend pretty far, the plants fnould 

 not be nearer than three feet afunder. The ftalks 

 decay in autumn, but the roots will abide many 

 yea 



The fourth fort is an annual plant, which grows 

 naturally in Afia and America, but has been long 

 cultivated for ornament in the Englifli gardens, and 

 is generally knov/n by the title of Convolvulus major. 

 Of this there are three or four lafting varieties \ tl'ic 

 moft common hath a purple flower -, but there is one 

 with a white, another v/ith a red, and one wdth a 

 whitifli blue flower, which hath white feeds. All 

 thefe varieties I have cultivated many years, without 

 obferving either of them change. If the feeds of 

 thefe forts are fown in the fpring, upon a warm bor- 

 der where the plants are defigned to remain, they will 

 require no other culture but to keep them clean from 

 weeds ; and place fometall ftakes down by them, for 

 their ftalks to twine about, otherwife they will fpread 

 on the ground, and make a bad appearance. Thefe 

 plants, if they are properly fupported, will rile ten 

 or twelve feet high ; they flower in June, July, and 

 Aug-uft, and will continue till the frolt kills tlicni. 

 Their feeds ripen m autumn.
