that are taken out may be trans- 

 planted mto other fhady Borders, 

 if yoii have Occaiion for them ; 

 otherwife they may be hoe'd out, 

 (as is pra(9:is'd for Onions, Carrots, 

 2cc.) and at the famx time all the 

 Weeds may be hoe'd down, ib as 

 to clear the Pimts intirely from 

 Weeds, that they may have Room 

 to grow ftrong. In the Spring 

 thefe Plants vM be fit for Uiej 

 and thofe that are fufF.T'd to re- 

 main will run up to Seed ia May, 

 and perfed their Seeds m fuly. If 

 this Plant is fown in the Spring, 

 the Seeds feldom grow well i there- 

 fore the beft Time is foon after 

 they are ripe : The Plants rarely 

 live after producing Seeds i fo that 

 it ihould be fown every Year, to 

 feave it for Ufe. 



The Sea Scurvy-grafs is alfo us'd 

 m Medicine ; but this grows in 

 the Salt Marfhes in Kent and Ejfexy 

 •where the Salt Water overflows it 

 almoft every Tide ■■, and can rarely 

 be made to grow in a Garden, or 

 at lead to lafl: longer there than 

 oaie Year : But it being fo eafily 

 gather'd in the Places before- men- 

 tion'd, the Markets are fupply'd 

 firom thence by the Herb-women, 

 who make it tKsir Bulinefs to ga- 

 ther this Herb. 



The little WeW) Scnrvy-grafs is. a 

 biennial Plant, and may be pre- 

 £erv'd in a Garden, if planted in a 

 ■fbrong Soil, and a fhady Situation, 

 v«rhere, if the Seeds are permitted 

 to fl-ied upon the Ground, the Plants 

 Vv-^ill come up without any farrher 

 Care. This is prefer v'd in curious 

 •Gardens ot Plants, but is not of 

 ■any Ufe. 



The Horji-Radiflj is propagated 

 by Cuttings or Buds from the Sides 

 cf the old Roots. The bcft Seafon 

 {x)r This Work is in Oci'ober or Te- 

 hrmryi tlie foxmer for dry Lands, 



c o 



and the latter for moifl:. The 

 Manner of doing it is as follows -, 

 Provide your felf v/ith a good 

 Quantity of 0£f-fets, which fhould 

 have a Bud upon their Crowns } 

 but it matters not how fhort they 

 arej therefore the upper Part of 

 the Roots which are taken up for 

 Ufe, fhould be cut off about two 

 Inches long wirh the Bud to it, 

 which is efteem'd the beft for 

 Planting. Then make a Trench 

 ten Inches deep, in which you 

 fhould place the Off-fets at about 

 four or five Inches Diftance each 

 way with the Bud upwards, cover- 

 ing them up wich the Mould that 

 was taken out of the Trench: Then 

 proceed to a fecond Trench in like 

 manner, and continue the fame 

 until the whole Spot of Ground is 

 planted. After this, level the Sur- 

 face of the Ground even, obferving 

 to keep it clear from Weeds, until 

 the Plants are & far advanced as to 

 be flrong enough to over-bear and 

 keep down the Weeds. With this 

 Management, the Roots of the 

 Horfe-Kadiflj will be long and firait, 

 and free from fmall lateral Roots j 

 and the fecond Year after planting 

 will be fit for Ufe. Tis true, they 

 may be taken up the firft Year; 

 but then the Roots will be but 

 flender ; therefore it is the better 

 way to let them remain until the 

 fecond Year. Tlie Ground in 

 which this is planted ought to be 

 very rich, otherwife the Roots will 

 make but a fmall Progrefs.
