feed of thofc plants once evcrv t.roye.irs, and fucli as 

 I had from Hollafid, whereby I had many new varie- 

 ties. 



346. Lapathum, or Burdock-^ but when names are gi- 

 ven, which no botanical authors treat of (at leart the 

 modern ones) it is impolTible to guefs at the fpecies or 

 genus of a plant. 



347. Chenopodium lini folio villofo. Tourncf. Flax- 

 leaved Orach: called Behidere. 



Thefe plants may be fown in autumn, or early in 

 fpring, and when they are two inches high, {hould be 

 tranfplanted into pots or borders ; when they are full 

 grown, they make a very pretty pyram.idal bufh to adorn 

 rooms ; they are very hardy, and fow themfelves; when 

 in pots, they fhould be often watered.

 Toiirn. Great Perennial Honejlyy or Moofiwort, with a

 in winter without a temperate heated (love, where it 

 thrives and fruits very well, Mofl: of the other kinds 

 of Capftcuni's being annuals, I thought proper to give 

 the curious this caution concerning the culture of this 

 plant. 



351. Caryophillus bar hat us hor ten/is lat if alius, florevar le- 

 gato, Boerh. Lid. The broad-leaved Swcet-Wiilium, with 

 variegated flowers. 



Thefe plants are befl: propagated by feed, which 

 fhould be fown in March on a bed of rich li^Mu earth, 

 and in June {hould be tranfplanted into beds at eight 

 inches ciiflance, plant from plant, and In March, you 

 may plant them out into the borders, or ufe them
