Soits which are the mofl com- 

 mon and deftruclive to young 

 Piants, one of them is that v/hich 

 the white Butterfly breeds : It is of 

 a yellov/ifh Colour, ipotted with 

 Black, and commonly infers the 

 tender Leaves of Ca^b^i-ges, Coili- 

 Jtowen, and the Imlhtu Crefs : This 

 eats off all the tender Parts of the 

 Leaves, leaving only the Fibres in- 

 tirci fo that very often we fee, in 

 the Autumn Seafon, whole Gar- 

 dens of Winter Cabbages and Savop 

 almoft deflroy'd by them, efpe- 

 cially in thofe which are crowded 

 with Trees, or are ne.ir great Build- 

 ings : Nor is there an/ other Me- 

 thod found out to deftroy them, 

 that I know of, but to pick them 

 off the Plants before they are fprcad 

 from their Neils ; by which Means, 

 tho' perhaps many may be over- 

 iook'd, yet their Numbers will be 

 greatly diminifh'd : But this Work 

 niufl: be often repeated during the 

 warm Weather that the Butterfiies 

 are abroad, which are continually 

 depoliting their Eggs, and in a few 

 Days time will he metamorphos'd 

 to ^evfeik Caterpillars : Butasthelc 

 ■ for the mod part feed upon the 

 outer Leaves of Plants, fo they are 

 more ealily taken than the other 

 Sort, which is much larger 5 the 

 Skin is very tough, and of a dark 

 Colour : This is call'd by the Gar- 

 deners a Grub, and is exceeding 

 hurtful : The Eggs of this Sort of 

 Caterpillar are, tor the moft part, 

 depoiited in the very Heart or Cen- 

 ter of the Plant, (efpecially in Cab- 

 iages) where after it hath obtain'd 

 its Form, it eats its Way out thro' 

 all the Leaves thereof j and alfo 

 the Dung being lodg'd between the 

 inclos'd Leaves of the Cabbages^ 

 gives them an ill Scent. 



This Infedt alfo burrows juft 

 lender the Surface of the Ground,

and makes fad Havock with young 

 Plants, by eating them througli 

 their tender Shanks, and drawing 

 th<;m into their Holes. This Mil- 

 chief is chiefly done in the Night: 

 Whenever you obferve this, you 

 fhould every Morning look over 

 your Plat of Plants; and where- 

 ever you fee any Plants eat otr, 

 ftir the Ground round about the 

 Place with your Fingers an Inch 

 deep, and you'll certainly find them 

 out. This is the only Method I 

 know of deftroying them. 



CAUCALIS; Baftard-pardey. 



This is one of the umbelliferous 

 Plants, with oblong Seeds, which 

 are a little furrow'd and prickly: 

 The Petals of the Flower are un- 

 equal and heart-lhap'd. 



There are feveral Speiies of this 

 Plant prefer v'd m the Botanic k 

 Gardens ; but as there is no great 

 Beauty or Ufc in any of them, fb 

 I Hiall pafs them ovei^ with only 

 obferving, that if any Perfon hath 

 a Mind to cultivate them, the befl: 

 Seafon to fow their Seeds is in 

 Autuma foon after they are ripe^ 

 for if their Seeds are kept till Spring, 

 they feldom produce ripe Seeds 

 again: They are moft of them An- 

 nuals, and fo require to be fown 

 every Year: We have live or fix 

 Species of them which grow wild 

 in England.
