The firft of thefe Sorts is found 

 ivild in many Parts of England; but 

 may be propagated in Gardens, by 

 fbwing the Seeds in Spring, or 

 parting the Roots; it will grow 

 in almofl: any Soil or Situation. 

 This is the Sort commonly ufed in 

 Medicine; tho' the fecond Sort 

 hath of late prevail'd in the Mar- 

 kets. The fecond and third Sorts 

 may be propagated in the fame 

 manner as the firft, and are equally 

 as hardy . The fourth Sort is fome- 

 what tenderer, and fhould be kept 

 in Pots, and fhelter'd in Winter : 

 •This is increas'd by planting Cut- 

 tings in any of the Summer 

 Months.

The firft Sort grows wild in the 

 North of England and in Scotland, 

 from whence it may be procured, 

 but the Plants muft be carefiilly^ 

 taken up with a good Clod of 

 Earth to their Roots, and Ihould 

 be planted into a ftrong loamy Soil, 

 and in a fhady Situation, where, if 

 they are fuftered to remain, they 

 will produce their beautiful Flow- 

 ers annually in May : But if they 

 arc often removed, or planted in a 

 light or rich Soil, they rarely pro- 

 duce Flowers, and feldom continue 

 more than one Scafon. 



The fecond and third Sorts are 

 not Natives of England; but if the 

 Roots can be procured trom abroad, 

 they may be treated in fhe fame 

 manner as the firft Sort, thefe be- 

 ing full as hardy, and' will produce 

 their Flowers in our Climate.
