SeeJs that are furbelow'd on the 

 Edges. 



There is hut one Species of this 

 Plant at prcfent known in the Eng- 

 itjly Gardens, which is, 



Chelone j Acailtenjis, fiore albo. 

 Tonrn. White flowering Chelone 

 of Acadia. 



Though, by the Title of this 

 Plant, it is luppos'd a Native of 

 Acadia only, yet hath it been 

 brought from divers Parts of Ame- 

 rica ; and 'tis very probable may 

 be found in moft Parts of North 

 America, as Virginia, Maryland, 

 NeTX> England, &C. From the two 

 lift mentioned Places, feveral Plants 

 • have been lent to England by fbme 

 curious Perfons of thole Coun- 

 tries. 



This Plant is very hardy, endu- 

 ring our fevereft Cold in the open 

 Ground : It is propagated by part- 

 ing the Roots in the Spring, 

 vvhich increafe very faft under the 

 Surface of the Earth j therefore it 

 fliould not be planted amongft 

 other curious Plants or Flowers, 

 left, by its fpreading Roots, it 

 fhouid overbear and deftroy them. 

 It dies to the Surface every Win- 

 ter, and arifes again the fucceeding 

 Spring, producing its Flowers in 

 Auguji, and ripens its SQe(^s in 

 Ociober ^ which altho' it feems to. 

 be perf?(£fly good aimoft every Year, 

 yet I could never procure one iingie 

 Plant from all the Seeds I have yet 

 fown, either of my own faving, 

 or fuch as have been brought from 

 Abroad. 



GHENOPODIO MORUS j JVIul- 

 berry Blight. 



The Characters are; 

 The whole Plant hath the Ap- 

 pearance of a Blight ; but the Fruit 

 is [ucculent, and in ^Shape like a> 

 Mulberry or Strawberry. 

 The Speciis are j 



c H 



1. Chenopodio MORUS J tnajoT. 

 Boerh.Ind. Great Mulberry Blight, 

 commonly call'd. Strawberry Spin- 

 age. 



2. Chenopodio morus ; minor, 

 Boer . hid. LefTer Mulberry Blight, 

 commonly call'd, Berry-bearing O- 

 rach. 



Thefe two Plants are pretty Va- 

 rieties in a Garden, being very 

 proper to plant in Pots, to inter- 

 mix with other Annual Plants to 

 adorn Court-yards, during^ ths 

 Summer and Autumn Seafons ; 

 where (if the Plants are regularly 

 trained up to Sticks while young) 

 their Fruit, v^ith which every Part 

 of the Plant will be fiU'd, doth 

 make a very good Appearance. 



I'hefe Plants are propagated by 

 fowing their Seeds in the Spring 

 in a gentle Hot-bed ; and when 

 the Plants are ftrbng enough to be 

 tranfplanted, they may be planted 

 in Pots of rich Earth, and expos'd 

 to the open Air, giving them fre- 

 quent Waterings, as the Seafon 

 may require ,• and as they advance 

 in Height, they ibould be kept 

 ty'd up clofe to Sticks trimming 

 off all the Side-branches i which, 

 if permitted to remain on, would 

 prevent the Plant from advancing 

 in Height. 



The Fruit of- thefe Plants, if luf- 

 fered to fall to the Ground, will 

 come up again in the Autumn; 

 which Plants, if potted, and Ihel- 

 ter'd from fevere Frofts, in a com- 

 mon Hot-bed Frame, will grow 

 much larger than thofe fbwn in 

 the Spring, and flower and pro- 

 duce their Fruit much earlier in 

 the Seafon : So that, by having 

 Plants of both Seafons, they may 

 be continued in Beauty through the 

 greateft Part of the Summer and 

 Autumn.
