The rirft of thefe Plant'> is found 

 wild by Ditches and River Sides, 

 in moft Parts of England, and ts 

 the only Species of this Genu; 

 which is a Native in Europe; bu; 

 Jjnmca abouuds with a vaft Num- 



E u 



ber of Species, many of which are 

 annually brought over, and preferv'd 

 in curious Botanic k Gardens, tho* 

 the fir ft Sort is only at prefent ufed 

 in Medicme. 



Thefe Plants are all hardy enough' 

 to endure the Cold of our Winters 

 in the open Air, provided they arc 

 planted in a dry Soil, and may be 

 propagated by parting their Roots 

 m March, or October i but if you 

 do this in the Spring, you muft 

 obferve to water and lliade the 

 Plants until they have taken Root, 

 if the Weather Ihould prove dry, 

 and thofe that are tranfplantcd in 

 Autumn fhould be protedled from 

 fevere Frofts in Winter, which 

 would be apt to deftroy them be- 

 fore they have got fait Rooting in 

 the Ground. 



Thefe Plants may alfo be propa- 

 gated by fowing their Seeds, which 

 fhould be done early in the Spring, 

 upon a Bed of light Earth, obler- 

 ving to water them in dry Wea- 

 ther : But they feldom come up 

 until the fecond Year ,• and it is 

 not till the third Year that they 

 produce Flowers j therefore, if the 

 Plants are not too thick in the 

 Seed-bed, they may be permitted 

 to remain there till atter their 

 Flowers are pafc ; and in October 

 remove them to the Places where 

 they are deiign'd to grow. Thcie 

 Plants have little Beauty in them, 

 and therefore are feldom preferv'd, 

 unlefs in Botanick Gardens for Va- 

 rietv.
