and oceafionally ufed medicinally. It is perennial, and 

 propagated by parting its roots, or by feed fowtf ift

Savory we have a fummer and a winter kind of; 

 the former is annual, and the hiter perennial ; and both 

 are ufed as medicinal and culinaryherbs, but the fummer 

 fort is that moftly cultivated for medicine. The annual 

 is propagated from iced in March or April, fown thin 

 and (hallow, in drills, eight or nine inches afunder. 

 The perennial is fometimes propagated from feed, but 

 more ufually from rooted flips, or cuttings from the 

 top, in fpnng, as alfo from fide Hips. The annual fort 

 fhould grow at fix inches 'distance in the drills, and the 

 perennial be allowed a foot. Summer favory, gathered

 and if propagated from feed, (which produces the finefl 

 plants) it ihould be fown in March. The plants of the 

 common forrel fhould be fix or eight inches afunder,
