Toitrn. or the common medicinal 

 Winter Cherry. 



This Plant produces round red 

 Fruit about the Size of a large Cher- 

 ry i which is inclos'd in a fmall 

 Bladder, which in Autumn changes 

 to a reddifh Colour, and opens, and 

 Ihews its beautiful red Fruit, which 

 continues 'till November, or fome- 

 times later, before it falls off ^ for 

 which 'tis chiefly kept in Gardens : 

 It is very apt to creep far under- 

 ground, by which it Ibon fpreads 

 over a large Spot of Ground; there- 

 fore Ihould be confined in Pots , 

 which, if fet in the Shade, and fre- 

 quently water'd, will very much add 

 to its Fruitfulnefs i for when the 

 Roots have Liberty, they fpend 

 themfelvcsinfpreading, and become 

 lels fruitful, than when confin'd in 

 Pots.

It hath a bulbous Root confifting of 

 fnuny [nmll Tubercles included in the 

 Coverings ( or Coats ) thereof; the 

 Leaves are pla'm ; the Flowers confift

 the Fhwers are fucceeded by fubrotund 

 Fruit, which are divided into three 

 Cells, in rohich are contained ronndijlj 

 Seeds. 



There are feveral Varieties of this 

 Plant, which differ in their Leaves, 

 Manner of flowering. Shape and 

 Size of their Bulbs, c^c- but there 

 are not above two or three Sorts, 

 which are cultivated for Ufc, viz..

 Common or Manured Garlick.

The two firft Species are palily 

 propagated by planting the Cloves, 

 or fmall Bulbs, in Auguft ov Septem- 

 ber, in Beds about four or five Inches 

 Diftance from each other, keeping 

 them clean from. Weeds. About 

 the Beginning of June the Leaves 

 fhould be tied in Knots, to prevent 

 their fpindling, or running to Seed, 

 which will greatly enlarge the 

 Bulb : in the Middle of July the 

 Leaves will begin to wither and 

 decay, at which Time they Ihould 

 be taken out of the Ground, and 

 hang'd up in a dry Room, to prevent 

 their rotting i and may be thus 

 prelerv'd for Winter Ufe. 



The third Sort was formerly in 

 greater Efteem than at 'prefent, it 

 being rarely cultivated in Gardens, 

 but is found wild in moid:, fhady 

 Places in many Parts of England j 

 and may be cultivated by planting 

 the Roots in a moift, fhady Border 

 at almoft any Time of the Year ; 

 but the befl: Seafon is in July, juft as 

 the green Leaves are decaying.
