Hedge, fhould be Town in the Place 

 where they are to pemain,- but if 

 for Standards to plant in Wildcr- 

 nelTes, they fhould be fovvn thin 

 upon a Bed of light Earth, in an 

 open Situation ; and when the Plants 

 come up, you fhould carefully clear 

 them from Weeds j and where 

 they are too clofe to each other, 

 they fhould be pul?d out, leaving 

 "em at lead fix Inches diftant from 

 each other : In thefe Beds they 

 fhould remain until the Spring fol- 

 lowing, at which Time theylhould 

 be remov'd either into the Places 

 where they are to continue, or 

 elfe into a Nurfery, as was directed 

 for the Spanifi Broom, obferving 

 the fame Method and Seafon for 

 this Work as was there direded, 

 to which this Plant cxadly agrees 

 jn Culture, and is equally as diffi- 

 cult to tranfplant when grown old ; 

 therefore, to avoid Repetition, I 

 fhall refer the Reader to that Ar- 

 ticle for farther Inflruftions. 



GENISTELLA TINCTORIA j 

 Greenwood, or Diei s weed, or Wood- 

 waxen. 



The Species are ; 



1. Genistella Tinctoria; Ger- 

 manics. C. B. P. Our Common 

 Diets- weed. 



2. Genistella Tinctoria } Au- 

 Jiriaca, maxima. Boerh. Greateft 



Diers-weed of Aujiria. 



The firft of thefe Plants grows 

 wild in many Parts of Englajidy but 

 the fecond Sort was fent from Au- 

 jiria to the Learned Do6lor Boer- 

 haave at Ley den, who has fince 

 difperfed it to feveral other Parts 

 of Europe. 



Thefe Plants may be propagated 

 by Seeds, which Ihould be Ibwn in 

 the Spring, upon an open Bed of 

 frefh Earth, obferving to cover the 

 Seeds about half an Inch thick 

 wii;h line light Mould j in a Month

av fix Weeks after fowing, the 

 Plants will begin to appear ^ when 

 you mufl carefully weed them, 

 and if the Seafon proves dry, they 

 fhould be water'd two or three 

 Times a Week, which will greatly 

 promote their Growth: You muft 

 alio keep them conftantly clear 

 from Weeds, which if permitted 

 to grow, would foon over-top the 

 Plants and fpoil them. 



In this Bed the Plants may re- 

 main till the March following, 

 when you fliould carefully take 'em 

 up, and having prepared a Spot of 

 frefli Ground, you fliould tranfplant 

 them therein, at about a Foot 

 aiunder every way in Rows, ob- 

 ferving, if podible, to do this in 

 moifl Weather, for if the Seafon 

 proves dry, they muft be carefully 

 raulch'd and water 'd> othcrwife 

 many of the Plants will mifcarry. 

 In this Nurfery they may remain 

 another Year, (obferving conftant- 

 ly to keep 'cm clean from Weeds) 

 by which Time they will be fit to 

 tranfplant to the Places where they 

 are to remain, which muft aifo 

 be done in the Spring of the Year, 

 being careful to take the Plants up 

 with as much Earth as polfiblc to 

 their Roots, nor fhould they be 

 kept long out of the Ground, for 

 if the Fibres of their Roots are 

 dried, the Plants are very fubjcdt 

 to mifcarry. 



Thefe Plants, tho' little regarded, 

 may be rendred very ufeful in Gar- 

 dens, particularly in planting Clumps 

 of Flowering Trees i for example. 

 If a Pcrfbn was delirous to have a 

 Clump of Spanilh Broom, thefe 

 two Sorts of Plants might be m 

 planted round the Outfide : The ^ 

 Aujlrian Sort, which makes the 

 largeft Shrub, fhould be planted 

 next the Spanifli Broom, and the 

 common Sort on the Outfide, where-
