A N 



common Sort, which Is cultivated 

 in the Englijh Plantation', in America: 

 But I have been ali'ur'd by a Perlbn of 

 great Credit, that he has made as 

 good Indigo from the fecond Sort, 

 as any that was produc'd in our Plan- 

 tations ; and this being a much larger- 

 Plant will afford a greater Quantity 

 from the fame Com pais of Ground, 

 than any of the other two Species j 

 and this Sort is alfo much hardier, 

 and may be cultivated in fuch Places, 

 where the firft Sort will not grow ■■, 

 by which means great Improvements 

 may be made wi h this Plant in our 

 American Plantations.

Thefe Trees are the Produce of the 

 warmefh Parts of the Meji-Indies, as 

 in Jamaica, Barbados, '&zc. where 

 they are cultivated for their Fruits, 

 which are in thofe Countries in very 

 great Efteem, efpecially the Sappa- 

 dilla, which they value more than 

 any of the other Sorts, and hath been 

 but lately introduc'd into fbme of 

 thofe Inlands. It is very probable 

 that none of thcle Trees were origi- 

 nally Natives ot thele Countries, but 

 have been tranfplanted from fome 

 other Parts of the V/orld ; but being 

 there planted, they thrive equally as 

 Vv^cll, as if it were their native Soil ; 

 the Sappadilla only excepted, which 

 is of a tenderer Nature than the 

 others. 



The Seeds of thefe Trees are fre- 

 quently brought over from the JVeJi- 

 Indies to England j but tliere are at 

 prefent but few of the Plants in Being 

 amongft us, they being of fo nice a 

 Nature, as npt to endure our open 

 Air in Summer j nor will they live 

 thro' the Winter, unlefs prcierv'd in 

 the warmed Stoves. 



Thelc Seeds ihould be fown in 

 fmali Pots fiil'd with rich light Earth
