N. 6. Of Pifmlres^ Earwigs, C Anker add \fotffn*eft 

 in choice TlantSy CatterfiUars, Mofs'u;efs^ Barks 

 birdirg, Burfiirg of Gtily -flowers. 



The"e are many other snnoyaflces to Vegetable?, 

 and generally fooner reckoned than remedyed, a word 

 or two I (kail fpeak of as many of them as come into 

 my mince : Pifmires, especially thofe of the black 

 kinde, are exceeding troubiefome in fome Gardens, 

 for they climb the higher* Tree-;, and fpoil the Fruit, 

 are commonly ePceemed remedilefs. Bellonms 3 who 

 took exceeding pains for improvement by Vegetables, 

 commends the deco&ion of Broath made of any fore 

 of Spurge, as very efficacious for this purpofe : Some 

 draw them to one place, by burying Carryon where 

 they moil refort, and then fcalld them with feething 

 liquor. 



To divers choice Flowers , but Carnations and 

 Gilly-flowers efoecially, Ear-wigs are a great an- 

 noyance : Mr. P's way of fetting Beafts Hoofs among 

 the Flowers, upon flicks, to take thern, is ufed of 

 every Body here, and generally lik'd: Some that 

 fet their Flowers- in Foes, fet the Pons in Earthen 

 Plates, with double Verges, containing water, or 

 water mingled with foot in the outward verge, to 

 drown the V ermine that fhali attempt thepors, and 

 rain water in the fecond, which may pafs through the 

 lioles of the pots to water the earth therein contained. 



The rotiennefs and hollownefs, that through age 

 & too much moiftiire bulbous and tuberous roots, and 

 the belt Anemones especially, are fubjeft too, is thus 

 provided for • the difeafe muftbe laid open, and the 

 roctennefs cut out ib,thac in the root there be no capa-
