 fjo fiore, dilute cAruleOy internodiis 

 iongijjimh. Rmd. Carolina Self- 

 heal, with large pale blue Flowers,

 of the Stalks. 



Thefe Plants may be any of them 

 propagated by fowing their Seeds 

 in the Spring of the Year, on a 

 Bed of common Earth, and v/hen 

 they are come up, may be planted 

 out in Borders in any fhady Part 

 of the Garden, where they will 

 thrive, and many of them flower 

 the fame Year, but all of them the 

 fecond, after which they feldom^ 

 continue, therefore the Seeds of 

 them muft be fown yearly for a 

 frefh Supply. 



The firft Sort is ufed in Medi- 

 cine, and is very common in di- 

 vers Parts of E«^/^«t/: The fecond, 

 third, and fourth Sorts are Varie- 

 ties of the firfl : The others are of 

 foreign Growth} and altho' there 

 is not a great deal of Beauty in 

 them, yet fome of the Varieties 

 are worth cultivating to add to 

 the Diverfity of the Garden, clpe- 

 cially fmce they require very little 

 Culture.

This Plant is very common m 

 Barbados and Jamaica, but in Eu- | 

 rope it is at prefent very rare: It ' 

 may be propagated from Seeds, 

 which ibould be fown early in the 

 Spring, in Pots filled with light 

 Earth, and plung'd into a Hot-bed 

 of Tanners-bark, obferving to wa- 

 ter the Earth as often as jou find 

 it neceflary : When the Plants are 

 come up, they fhould be tranf- 

 planted each into a feparate fmall 

 Pot, filled with frefh light Earth, 

 and plunged into the Hot-bed a- 

 gain, obferving to water and fhade 

 the Plants until they have taken 

 Root, after which they fhould have 

 Air let into the Hoc-bed, in Pro- 

 portion to the Warmth of the Sea- 

 fon and the Bed into which they 

 are placed j and they muft be fre- 

 quently refrefh'd with Water. When 

 the Plants have advanced fo high as 

 not to be contamed itt the Frames, 

 they fhould be removed into the: 

 Bark Stove y where, during the 

 Summer Months, they fhould have 

 a large Share of free Air, but in 

 Winter they muft be kept very 

 clofe. With this Management the 

 Plants will be very ftrong, and 

 produce their Flowers every Sea- 

 fon. Thefe Plants may alfo be in- 

 creafed by planting their Cutthigs 

 Cin any of the Summer Months) 

 in Pots filled with frefh light Earth, 

 and plunged into a Hot-bed of 

 Tanners-bark, obferving to water 

 and fhade 'em until they have taken 

 Root, after which they muft be 

 martaged as hath been directed for 

 the feedling Plants.
