The Seeds of the firft and fecond 

 Kind fliould be fown in an open 

 Situation early in the Spring j and 

 when the Plants are young, they 

 may be prick'd out into Beds of fandy 

 Soil, at about fix Inches Diftance 

 from each other, obferving to water 

 them, until they have taken frelh 

 Root i after which Time they will 

 require no more Care, but to keep 

 them clear from Weeds •■, and if the 

 Seafon proves good, they will ripen 

 their Seeds in Autumn. 



The Seeds of the firft Sort are us'd 

 in Medicine : The fecond is a Va- 

 riety of the firft, which is accidental 

 from the fame Seeds : The third is 

 an abiding Plant, which multiplies 

 very faft by its Root, which is very 

 apt to fpread far under-ground j for 

 which Reafon it fhould never be 

 planted in a good Garden. Thefe 

 are all Varieties fitter for a Botanick, 

 or Phyfick Garden, than for Gardens ' 

 of Pleafure.
