P, S. I forgot in its proper place to Inform you, 

 that that part of the root (for there are feveral buds, 

 or eyes, which will bloom in future) from whence 

 the main or any flower-ftem ilTues, on perfeding 

 its feed, immediately, or at lead very foon after, 

 begins to decay, and leaves the other buds found, 

 fome or one of which will bloom the following 

 feafon, according to their maturity. This is an 

 undoubted fa(5l; and therefore, although the older 

 the root is the better it will be for curing, when 

 it has pafled its meridian, that propofition muft be 

 erroneous. 



It is therefore my opinion, that the moft proper 

 time to take up the root for curing will be imme- 

 diately on its perfe(5ling the feed from its main or 

 flower-ftem, and to preferve ibat fart onlyy every 

 feafon^ and to plant the buds with their refpeftivc 

 roots again.
