Of this kinde Myrrhis , or fweet Chervill, and all 

 llubarbs , which feafily grow then , but faile being 

 foven in the Spring. 



The miftakc of the time has made fome admire , 

 that when they with care had fowen Angelica feeds 

 ieverall times together , this never grew ; on the 

 contrary , the Seed being fhed would grow in any 

 place , never fo uncouth or ttony ; nav even carried 

 away by the water , would grov wherever it was 

 lodged iri the banks, and that well and luftily ; where- 

 as the reafon of the difference was in the feafon , for 

 the laborious Artift kept the feeds till Spring was his 

 hindrance, whereas better inllruSed Nature would 

 have committed them to the earth many months 

 fooner. ' J is a true Proverb, f repertta fa tw foletfdfe

Some feeds are fowen at the breaking of the Froft, 

 and the very firft beginning of Spring , and that up- 

 on a hot bed, for the greater fecurity and fp eed of the 

 Plant to be propagated : So the early Badifh , the 

 Senhtive Plant", Maracoc, Palm Apples, French 

 Marygolds , Muskmelons , all Cucumbers , African 

 Marygolds , the Marvail of the world , the Indian 

 Creile, or yellow Larkshcel, Lettices that they may 

 be had early. 



The hot Ped is made with horfe-dung laid four ,"

 monly, incteafmg or diminishing the quantity of the- 

 dung ( whiih ufes to be frefh, as it comes from the 

 (table , mingled with ftale Litter , Hay, &c. ) accor- 

 ding as you would have the heat greater or lcffe , 

 upon which bed of dung you lay fine mould, five fin- 

 gers breadth in deepneffe or thereabouts, comparing
