the Height of five or fix Feet, and 

 becomes Woody. This may be 

 propagated by pl.-inting Cuttings in 

 a fliady Border during any of the 

 Summer Months i which fhould be 

 Hiaded until they have taken Root, 

 and that will be in a Month's 

 Time, or leis: Then they fliould 

 be planted into Pots, that they 

 may be fhelter'd in the Winter un- 

 der a Frame, where they will abide 

 the Cold very well, being iome- 

 what hardy, tho' they will not 

 ftand in the open Air. There is 

 no great Beauty in thefe two Plants } 

 but they are preferv'd in Gardens, 

 becaufe of the ftrong Smell of their 

 Leaves.

There are feveral other Varieties 

 ot this Plant, which are preferv'd 

 in curioas Botanick Gardens, for 



C H 



the fake of Variety : But as there 

 is very little Beauty in them, £0 

 they are hardly worth their {land- 

 ing in a Pleafure-Garden. 



But whoever hath a Mind to 

 propagate their feveral Species, may 

 low their Seeds in an open Bed of 

 common Earth in the Spring, 

 where they will readily come up 

 and thrive exceedingly, and their 

 Seeds being permitted to fcatter 

 upon the Ground, will come up 

 and foon overfpread a Garden. 



The three firft Sorts are abiding 

 Plants, and increafe very much by 

 chcir fpreading Roots, which, if 

 not confin'd, will in a {hort Time 

 become very troublefome Weeds 

 in a Garden j as alfo if their Seeds 

 are fuffer'd to ripen, they will be 

 blown all over the Garden, and be 

 full as bad as Sow-thiftles.
