All thdc forts are propagated by budding or inarch- 

 in^ them either on Hocks of Lemons or Citrons, pro- 

 duced from feeds, but they will not fo readily unite on 

 Orange ftocks, for which reafon the Citrons are pre- 

 ferable to either Oranges or Lemons for ftocks, as 

 they readily join with either fort, and being of larger 

 growth, caule the buds of the other forts to fhoot 

 much thongcr than if they were on (locks of their 

 own kind; The method of raifing thefe (locks, and 

 the manner of budding them, being already exhibited 

 under the article of Aurantium, it would be fuper- 

 fluous to repeat it here. . . : . . , 



The culture of the Lemon being the fame with that 

 of the Orange-tree, it would be needlefs to repeat 

 it here ; therefore I fnall only obferve, that the com- 

 mon Lemons are fomewhat hardier than the Oranges, 

 and will bring their fruit to maturity with us better 

 than they will do, and require to. have a greater (hare 

 of frefh air in winter -, for which reafon, they (hould 

 always be placed nearer to the doors or windows

with a Clove Gilliflower flower, who(e pointal be-

 -. fort, and places it in the fifth feftion of his fifth clafs, 

 which contains the plants whofe flowers have five fla- 

 miria and five Hyles. As the flowers of this genus are 



• ranged one above another in form of fpikes, and thofe 

 of the Statice are colledled in globuar heads, they may, 

 without impropriety, be kept feparate ; and as there 

 are feveral fpecies of each genus, therefore I have

. The" roots of this plant are thick, of a reddifh colour, 

 and an aftringent tafl:e, fending out many ftrong fibres, 

 which ftrike deep in the ground ; and from the upper 



{)art of the root comes out feveral oval Ibear-lhaped 

 eaves, from four to five inches long, and more than 

 two inches broad in the middle ; they are fmooth, of 

 a pretty thick confiflience, and of a dark green. The 

 ftalks rife upward of afoot high, is naked of leaves, 

 divided into many branches, which arc again divided 

 into fmaller tQward the top ; thefe are terminated by 

 flender fpikes of pale blue flowers, ranged on one 

 fide the ftalk above each other, coming out of narrow 

 covers like flieaths -, thefe appear in July, and are 

 fucceeded by oblong feeds, which are inclofed in the
