There are feveral other Varieties 

 of this Plant which are cultivated 

 in Botanick Gardens ; but as they 

 are Plants of little Beauty, and the 

 firft Sort only is that which is com- 

 monly us'd in Medicine, and this 

 growing in great Plenty wild upon 

 Dunghils, and in Ibady Lanes in 

 divers Parts of England, they are 

 therefore feldom preferved in Gar- 

 dens. They may be eafily culti- 

 vated by any Perfon that is curious 

 that way, by fowing the Seeds early 

 in the Spring, or in Autumn fbon 

 after they are ripe, in almoft any 

 Soil or Situation, (except the Can- 

 ilia Sort, which muft have a warm 

 Polition and a dry Soil) where they 

 will flower and leed in plenty ; 

 and if the Seeds are permitted to 

 fcatter, will abundantly fupply the 

 Place with young Plants. As the 

 Roots are often ufed, fb the pro- 

 per Seafon to take them up is foon 

 after the Leaves decay, before they 

 flioot again i which is what (hould 

 be obferv'd of all Roots either 

 for Meat or Medicine, for then 

 it is that they have the mofl. Vir- 

 tue.

The firft of thefe Trees is very 

 common in mofl of the old Gar- 

 dens in England, but at prefent is 

 not fo much in Requeft as for- 

 merly} tho' it is not without its 

 Advantages : nor fhould it be in- 

 tirely rejedted, as many Perfbns 

 are of Opinion ; ' for it greatly 

 adds to the Beauty of Wildernefles 

 or Clumps of Ever-greens, it be- 

 ing one of the moft pifturefque 

 Trees in Nature. It was for- 

 merly planted in Borders of Plea- 

 fure-Gardens, and kept Ihorn in- 

 to a pyramidal or conick Formj 

 and fome People believing them 

 fubjeft to be kill'd if they cut 

 them, ty'd them up with Cords 

 into a pyramidal Figure ; which 

 Form they arc naturally difpos'd to 

 grow in : But this winding them 

 about, prevented the Air from en- 

 tring the inward Parts of the 

 Branches; fo that the Leaves de- 

 cay'd and became unlightly, and 

 greatly retarded their Growih. And
