 Form of a Rofe : The SeeJs are form' d

The firfr, third, fourth, fifth, 

 fixth, and feventh Sorts are found 

 growing wild in England, Scotland, 

 ■ and Ireland : But the fecond Sort 

 v/as brought from the Alps, and 

 the eighth from Virginia : Thefe 

 "Sorts may be all cultivated in a 

 Garden, by tranfplanting their 

 Roots from the Places of their 

 ■Growth, into a moift fhady Part 

 of the Garden, where they will 

 thrive exceedingly j which is the 

 beft Method to procure them, tot 

 their Seeds commonly remain tv/o 

 Treats in the Ground before they 

 ||>^e2r. The firfl: Sort (which is 



c A 



that commonly ufed in Medicine) 

 is Co common in England, that it 

 hardly deferves a Place in a Gar- 

 den; but the fecond, third, fourth, 

 and iixth Sorts are worthy a Place 

 in fome moift fliady Border where 

 few other Things will grow 3 and 

 ferve to add to the Variety, efpe- 

 cially fince they require no Care or 

 Trouble in their Culture, but only 

 every Michaelmas to divide and 

 tranfplant their Roots. 



CAP.YOPHYLLUS ; Ciove-gil- 

 liflower or Carnation. 

 The Characters are j 



It hath an intire oblong, cylindri- 

 cal, J moot h Gttp, which is indent et^ 

 at the Top: The Petals of the Flovper 

 are narrow at Bottom, -and broad -at 

 the Top, and are for the moji part, 

 laciniated (or cut) about the Edges : 

 The Seed-vejfel is of a cylindrical Fi- 

 gure, containing many fiat, rvugh 

 Seeds. 



This Genus may be divided into 

 three Cl^fles, for the better ex- 

 plaining them to Perfons unac- 

 quainted with Botany; which alfo) 

 will be as neceflary for the right 

 Underflanding their Culture. 



1. Caryophyllus ; hortenfis. 

 The Clove-gilliflower, .4)Y Carna- 

 tion. 



2. Caryophyllus ; tenuifolius, 

 plumarius, or Pink. 



5. Caryophyllusj Barbatus, or 

 Sv/eet- William. 



I Ihall treat of thefe three Clafle? 

 fingly, that I may the better ex- 

 plain their feveral Methods of Cul- 

 ture : And firll, I fliall begin with 

 the Carnation or Clove-gillijlower. 

 Thefe the Florift« diftinguilh again 

 into four Clafles. 



The nrft they call Flakes j thefe 

 are of two Colours only, and their 

 Stripes arc large, going quite thro" 

 the Leaves.
