. ^'h^fe Sorts of d'.pficums ard 

 i-bwn in many curious Gardens 

 with other annual Plants, in Hot- 

 beds, and require to be treated after 

 the fame manner as was diredted 

 for the Amarantimsy and do, in the 

 Autumn Seaibn, make a very pretty 

 Diverlity, being intermix'd there- 

 with : They are all tolerably hardy, 

 and may be planted abroad, to- 

 wards the latter End of May, or 

 the Beginning of Juney either in 

 Pots or open Borders, where they 

 v/iil ripen their Fruits very Well, 

 except the 3d, 13th, i^th, lythj 

 1 6th, and 17th Sorts, which are 

 tenderer, and mufl be brought for- 

 ward under Glaffes, otherwiie their 

 Fruit will not come to good : The 

 J 3 th, 14th, and 15-th Sorts will 

 remain for leveral Years, and form 

 handfome Shrubs, if you take pro- 

 per Care to preferve them in the 

 Stove in the Winter; during which 

 Seafon their Fruits will remain 

 and ripen, and appear very beauti- 

 ful. Indeed^ I believe, all the Sorts 

 may be preferv'd over the Winter, 

 •were v/e to take off a Part of their 

 Fruits before they are grown fb 

 big as to exhauft the Strength of 

 the Plant, and obferve to houfe 

 them in time : But as they pcrfevSt 

 their Fruit lb ealily in one Sum- 

 mer, it is feldom pradis'd but 

 with thofe Sorts that do not fo 

 readily ripen their Seeds. 



The Fruit of thcle Plants, tho' 

 at prefent of no great Ufe in E:ig- 

 land, yet affords one of the whole- 

 fomeit Pickles in the World, if 

 they are gather'd young beforo their 

 Skins grow tough. The inhabi- 

 tants of the Wejl'Indies eat great 

 Quantities of this Fruit raw, not 

 only v/hile it is green, but alfo 

 when it is fully ripe ; at Xvhich 

 time it is fo very acrid as to caufc 

 an extraordinary great Pain in the

Mouth and Throat of flich Perfons 

 as are not accuftom'd to eat of 

 it. 



The inhabitants of the M^ejl- 

 Indies make great Ufe of the Bird- 

 Pepper, which they dry and beat 

 to a Powder, and mix with other 

 Ingredients, which they keep by 

 them at all times for Sauce, and 

 ufe it inftead of Pepper j of which 

 they fend feme of thefe Pepper- 

 pots to England, by the Name ot 

 Cayan Butter or Fepper-Fot, and

The two fiifl Sorts are commoit 

 in mofl: of the moift Meadows in 

 England ; they fiower the Begin- 

 ning of May, and altiioigh there is 

 iio great Beauty in thofe Flowers, 

 yet I thought proper to mention 

 them, in order to introduce the 

 third Sort, which is a very beauti- 

 ful Plant, continung a long time 

 in Flower, and is a very proper 

 Plant for cold North Borders, or a 

 wet Soil, where few others will 

 grow; and hereby we may render
