where, by the Beauty and long 

 Continuance of their Flowers, to- 

 gether with the Diverfity of their 

 Leaves, they afford a very agree- 

 able Profpea. 



Thefe are feldom propagated in 

 Gardens, and fo not to be had 

 from the Nurferies i but may be 

 taken up, with a Ball of Earth to 

 their Roots, from the natural Places 

 ot their Growth, either in Spring 

 or Autumn, and may be trani- 

 planted into the Garden. The Soil 

 where they are planted fhould not 

 be dung'd ; nor iliould you beflow 

 any other Culture on them, than 

 clearing them from Weeds j for the 

 lefs the Ground is dug, the better 

 thefe will thrive j and they com- 

 monly fhoot their Roots near the 

 Surface, which, in digging, are 

 ilibjedt to be hurt, whereby the 

 Plant is often defhroy'd: Thefe may 

 alfo be propagated by Seeds; but 

 this being a tedious Method, the 

 other is much preferable to it. 



ERICA BACCIFERA; vide Em- 

 petrum. 



ERlGERONj vUe Senico. 

 ERUCA i Rocket. 



The Characters are ; 

 The Flower confifls of four Leaves , 

 which expand hi Form of a Crofs : 

 The Point a I becomes a Pod, tphich is 

 divided into two Cells^ by an inter- 

 mediate Partition, to which the 

 Valves adhere on both Sides : thefe 

 Cells are full of roundiJJj Seeds : To 

 ■which may be added. The whole Plant 

 hath a peculiar foetid Smell, 

 The Species are ; 



1 . Eruca; fylvejiris, major, lutea, 

 caule afpero. C. B. Greater wild 

 Rocket, with a rough Stalk, and 

 yellow Flower. 



2. Eruca i tenuifolia, perennis, 

 flore luteo. J, B, Narrow-leav'd 

 perennial Rocket, with a yellow 

 Fiov/er.

3. Eruca i Bellidis folio, M&r» 

 Hifi. Daizy-leav'd Rocket. 



4.. Eruca ; tanacetifolia. H. R, 

 Par. Tanfy-leav'd Rocket. 



5*. Eruca; major, fativa, annua, 

 flore albo, ftriato. C. B. Great Gar- 

 den Rocket, with a white ftrip'd 

 Flower. 



6. Eruca ; fativa, foliis magis 

 dijfedis. Hort, Edin. Garden Rocker, 

 with deeply-cut Leaves. 



The four firft Sorts are Varieties 

 which are preferv'd in curious Bo- 

 tanick Gardens, but arc Plants of 

 no great Beauty or Ufe : The firfl 

 is very common upon dry Banks 

 and old Walls in divers Parts of 

 England. 



The fifth Sort was formerly very 

 much cultivated in Gardens as a 

 Sallad-Herb, but at prefent is very 

 Uttle us'd. 



The fixth is a Variety of the 

 fifth, from which it differs in ha- 

 ving the Leaves deeply cut or 

 jagged. 



Thefe may be all propagated by 

 fowing their Seeds in the Spring, 

 on a Bed of light Earth, where 

 they will foon come up ; and being 

 Plants of quick Growth, will be 

 large enough for Ufe in a fliorc 

 Time; for if they are fuffer'd to 

 grow large, they become too 

 ftrong to be eaten in Sallads. Some 

 of the Plants may be left for Seeds, 

 .which they will produce in great 

 Plenty the fame Summer. 



ERUCAGO; Corn-Rocket. 

 The Characters are ; 



The Flower confifls of four Leaves-, 

 which expand in Form of a Crofs : 

 The Pointal becomes a four -corner' J, 

 Fruit, refembliag a crejled Club, 

 which is for the moji part divided 

 into four Cells, in which are contained 

 roundiflj Seeds which have a Beak. 



We have but one Species of this 

 Plaiitj which is,
