therefore fl^.ould be confin'd in 

 fbrae abjccl: Part of the Garden, 

 or planted under Trees, it being 

 very hardy, and growing in almolt 

 every Soil or Situation. 



The yellow Sorts are lefs com- 

 mon, and are only preferved in 

 the Gardens of the Curious j they 

 flower in June and July, and are 

 incrcas'd by parting the Roots m 

 AntH'/nn, but muft have a more 

 open Expofure than the Blue. 



The wholeibme Kind is rarely 

 to be met with in the Znglijh 

 Gardens, although it is equally as 

 hardy as any of the other Sorts : 

 This is increas'd as the other Sorts, 

 but requires a loofer Soil than 

 they do : This is fbmetimes ulcd 

 in Phyfick, and is fuppoied to be 

 an Antidote to the Poilbn of the 

 WolfVBane, 



ACONITUM HYEMALEi sr 

 Winter Wolfs- Bane. 



The characters arej 

 The Leaves are like thofe of the 

 IVolf's-Bane i the Flowers (which 

 are proihiced in the Center of the 

 Lcazes) are like thofe of the Ra- 

 ntincuUis', with many Stamina, or 

 Threads in the Center, and in all 

 other Reflects agree with the Helle- 

 bore j to which the learned Br. Bocr- 

 haave hath made it a Congener.. 



This is one of the earlicft 

 t'lowers in the Spririg, often ap- 

 pearing by the Middle oi January, 

 for which reafon it delerves a 

 Place in every curious Garden 3 it 

 is very apt to incrcafe by the 

 Root, but fl.ould not be too often 

 traniplahted : The beft Time to 

 remove the Roots is in May or 

 June^ juft as the green Leaves 

 are decay 'd, before they are quite 

 gone off, it being very difncult 

 afterwards to find the Roots : 

 This Plant will thrive in ainioH 

 (, I kny Soil or Situation.

The fbur firfl Sorts are com- 

 monly fow'd in March or April, 

 in a good Soil and v/arm Situa- 

 tion : They are great Climbers, 

 and Hiould have a Hedge or Pali- 

 lado to run upon, to prevent their 

 lying upon the Ground, which is 

 apt to rot them : They begin to 

 . flower in June or July, and con- 

 tinue till the Frofc come?, which

The double Sort producing na 

 Seeds, is only increafed by plant-
