 FIa«t it oamec iRcar. The only 

 Reaiedy that I know of to dellroy 

 this Pl'aRt, is by often hoeing of it 

 down j which in oae Year's Time 

 (n car-efully perform'd, and often 

 repeated) will intirely deftroy it: 

 For the -v/hsle Plant abounds with 

 a sniLky Juices and whenever the 

 Top is eut off, it is very fiibjed: 

 toaniit ib grcfit a Quantity of its 

 Juice, as to deflroy the whole

Tlie ^ond Sort, of which there 

 are great Varieties ot difFerent-co- 

 loufd Flowers, is ftill a worfe 

 Weed than the former ; for the 

 Roots of this Kind do infmuate 

 thcmfelves into the Gravel many 

 Feet <leep, and greatly incrcafe un- 

 der-ground, riling and fpreading its 

 Braaches over every thing near it. 

 This I know no other Method to 

 deftroy, thaa Hoeing often, or pul- 

 ling it up by Hand J which will, 

 in Time, weaken and iubdue it: 

 But this can't be done under three 

 or four Years, if attended with all 

 pofTible Care, (efpeciaily in a dry, 

 Tandy, or gravelly Soil} : But in a 

 wet Soil it is foon deftroy'd j for 

 the Roots are very fubjeft to rot 

 with too much Moiflure in Win- 

 ter. 



The third Sort is found in Plenty 

 upon the gravelly or iandy Shores 

 where the £ilt Water overflows in 

 many Parts of England. This is a 

 ftrong Purger, and as iuch is often 

 us'd in Medicine. This Plant, if 

 fown in a Garden, will ieldom laft 

 above a Year or two. 



The fourth Sort is found in great 

 Plenty upon the Sea-(hores of Ame- 

 rica, and is by the Inhabitants us'd 

 as a Purge. The Seeds of this 

 Plant were brought from the Ba- 

 hama IJIands by Mr. Catesby, and 

 have been rais'd in feveral Gardens 

 in England y but k is very tender, 

 and not to be kept through a Win- 

 ter without a Stove. 



The fifth, fixth, feventh, eighth, 

 and ninth Sorts are annual, and 

 are propagated in Gardens for the 

 Beauty of their Flowers : Thefe 

 are commonly ib'vn on a Hot- bed 

 in March, and afterv/ards tranf- 

 pianted into Borders in the open 

 Air, where being fupported by tall 

 Stakes, they v/ill twill round them,
