makes an agreeable Figure, for the 

 Flowers are produc'd in large Clus- 

 ters very clofe together, fo that 

 the whole Shrub is cover'd with 

 them. This may be propagated in 

 the fame manner as the former j as 

 may alfo the fixth Sort. 



The fifth Sort is tender, and re- 

 quires a Green-houfe in Winter, 

 where it (hould be plac'd to have 

 as much open free Air as pofiible 

 when the Weather is good, but 

 inufl be fcreen'd trom Frofts and 

 cold nipping Winds : In the Sum- 

 mer it may be expos'd abroad, 

 with Oranges, Myrtles, &c. It 

 Ihould have a frefh light Soil, and 

 frequent Waterings in that Seaibn. 

 This Plant may be either propa- 

 gated by Seeds, (which fhould be 

 fown on a Hot-bed in the Spring j 

 and when the Plants come up they 

 may be planted into fmall Pots, 

 and manag'd as diredled for the 

 African Tree-Milkwort) or by Layers, 

 which fliould be laid down in the 

 Spring ; and if kept duly water'd, 

 will take Root againft the fucceed- 

 ing Spring, when they may be 

 taken off and tranfplanted into Pots, 

 which fhould be fill'd with the 

 iame light Soil as was before di- 

 rected, fetting the Pots into a 

 fhady Place, until the Plants have 

 taken frefh Root j after which 

 Time they may be expos'd with 

 the old Plants, and manag'd as di- 

 rected tor them.

DAUCUS ; The Carrot. 

 The Characters are ; 



It hath for the moft part a flejliy 

 Root : The Leaves are divided into 

 narrow Segments : The Fetals of the 

 Flower are unequal, and fljap'd like 

 a Heart : The Umbel, when ripe, is 

 hollo ^'d and contracted, appearing 

 fomewhat like a Bird's Nefi : The 

 Seeds are hairy, and in Shape of 

 Lice. 



The Species are; 



i.Daucus; vulgaris. Cluf. Com- 

 mon wild Carrot. 



2. Daucus ; fylveflris, humilior, 

 latiore folic. Dwarf wild Carrot, 

 with broader Leaves. 



3. Daucus; fativus, radice afro- 

 rubente, Tourn. Dark Red-rooted 

 Garden- Carrot. 



4. Daucus i fativus, rad'ice au- 

 rantii coloris, Tourn, The Orange- 

 colour'd Carrot. 



f, Daucus p fativus, radice alba, 

 Tourn. The White Carrot. 



The firft of thefe Species grows 

 wild upon arable Land in moft 

 Parts of England, and is feldom 

 cultivated except in Botanick Gar- 

 dens. This is the particular Sort 

 which fliould be us'd in Medicine, 

 and for which the Druggifts com- 

 monly fell the Seeds of the Garden 

 Carrot. 



The iecond Sort was ifound by 

 Mr. Rand, near Dover, and is fpe- 

 cifically different from the com- 

 mon Sort, as hath been prov'd by 

 lowing them together in a Garden 

 for feveral Years. 



The third and fourth Sorts are 

 commonly cultivated in Gardens 

 for the Kitchen ; as is the fifth 

 Sort, tho' not fo common in Eng- 

 land as the two former : Nor 

 would they be worth the Gar- 

 deners while to propagate themj 

 for their pale Colour would render 



them
