The firft of thefe Species is tho: 

 moft common Kind, which is cul- 

 tivated in the European Gardens 

 and Fields for the Seeds, whicli 

 are us'd in Medicine. The fecond 

 Sort is lefs common than the firft, 

 and is feldom found but in Bota- 

 nick Gardens in thefe Parts of Et^ 

 rupe. The third Sort, as men- 

 tion'd in Cafpar Batihm*j Finax, 

 and cited by the learned Boerhaavet 

 in his Catalogue of the Leyderi Gar« 

 den, is fo like the firft, that I could 

 find no Difference between them 

 when compar'd together, though I 

 receiv'd the Seeds of this Kind 

 from the Leyden Garden. 



Thefe Plants are propagated by 

 fowing their Seeds early in the 

 Spring, in an open Situation in a 

 Bed ot good frefli Earth j and when 

 the Plants are come up, they (hould 

 be hoed out to about four Inches 

 Diftance every Way clearing them
