GETJM i Hairy Kidney- wort or 

 Sanicle. 



The Characiers are; 

 The Cup of the 'Flower is quinqui- 

 Jid : The Flower conjifis offi've Leaves^ 

 which expand in Form of a Roic, 

 having eight or ten Stamina or Threads 

 furrounding the Ovary : The Fruit 

 is roundifh, andis fpUt into two Horns 

 at the lop ; this becomes a bicapfular 

 Seed-VeJJely containing many fmall 

 Seeds. 



The Species are; 



1. Geum ; paluflre, minus foliis 

 oblongis crenatis. Tourn, Hairy Kid- 

 ney-Wort, or Water-Sanicie. 



2. Geumj anguflifolimny autum- 

 nale, flore luteo guttata. Tourn, 

 Narrow -leav'd autumnal Sanicle, 

 with a yellow fpocted Flower. 



3. Geumj rotundifoliumy majus. 

 Tourn. Great round-leav'd fpotted 

 Sanicle. 



4. Geom j folio fubrot undo majori, 

 pijiillo fioris rubro. Tourn. London 

 Pride, or None fo Pretty. 



The firft of thefe Plants is found 

 wild upon the Mountains of Wales 

 and IVeJimorland, but will grow, if 

 traniplanted into a cool moift Place 

 in a Garden. 



The fecond is found in fome 

 Parts of ChefJnre: This alfo de- 

 lights in a flrong, moift Soil, and 

 a fliady Situation j nor fhould thefe 

 Plants be often tranfplanted, for 

 they delight beft in a poor Soil, 

 ind want very little Culture, there- 

 fore the beft iVlethod is to farnifli 

 yourfelf with Roots from their na- 

 tural Places of Growth, for their 

 Seeds feldom fucceed if {own : 

 Thefe ihould be taken up with 

 as much Earth about their Roots 

 aspoffiblej then plant them in fome 

 cold, Ihady Part of the Garden, 

 (but not under the Drip of Trees) 

 where, when they are once well 

 fix'd, they will continue without 



G I 



any farther Care for feveral Years, 

 and will annually produce large 

 Quantities of beautiful Flowers : 

 And with thefe Plants may fuch 

 Parts of a Garden, where few 

 other things will thrive, be fup- 

 ply'd to great Advantage i fo that 

 did we but confider well what 

 Plants delight in moift and ftrong 

 Soils, and a fliady Situation; and 

 what require a dry light Soil, and 

 a Sunny Expofure, we need never 

 be at a Lofs for Plants to embellifli 

 a Garden, be the Soil or Situation 

 what it will; and 'tis for want oi: 

 rightly confidering how to adapt the 

 proper Plants to each Soil and Si- 

 tuation, that we often fee Natives 

 of a low Valley planted upon a dry 

 barren Soil, and thofe of dry fandy 

 Hills upon a ftrong rich Soilj in 

 both which Cafes, they ftarve and 

 come to nothing. 



The third Sort is feldom planted 

 in Gardens, except where the 

 Owners are curious in Colle6lions 

 of Plants, but yet deferves a Place 

 among ft the former in a cool fliady 

 Border, where it will thrive very 

 well. 



The fourth Sort is the moft com- 

 mon in the Gardens, and was for- 

 merly in greater Requeft than at 

 preicnt, it having been in great Uic 

 for bordering of Flower-beds; but 

 as it increafes very faft, fb it is apt 

 to fprcad too far, and fometimes 

 decays in Patches, which renders 

 it very unlightly : Belides, it mufl 

 be tranfplanted at leaft once a Year, 

 otherwife it cannot be kept in any 

 tolerable Order ; however, a few 

 Plants of this kind may be prelerv'd 

 as proper Furniture for fliady Bor- 

 ders ; but it will grow upon a 

 drier Soil than any of the former 

 Sorts.
