The two frrfl: Sorts are found 

 wild in diverfe Parts of England, 

 upon moid, ftony Heaths, efpecially 

 in flich Places where the Water 

 ftood during the Winter. The fe- 

 cond Sort is placed in the Catalogue 

 of Simples annex'd to the College 

 Difpenlatory, but is not often uied 

 in Medicine: Thefe Plants are fcl- 

 dom propagated in Gardens, except 

 for the Sake of Variety} for they 

 have no great Beauty, nor are of 

 much Ufe : There are aifo many 

 more of this Kind, fome of which 

 grow wild in England y but as they 

 are never cultivated, I fliall pals 

 them over without naming, and 

 proceed to the third Sort, which 

 is often preferved in curious Gar- 

 dens, for the Variety of its fine 

 Siiver-colour'd Leaves. This Plant 

 is found upon the Sea Coafbs of 

 Cormvall, and fome other Parts of 

 England i but yet will rarely abide 

 the Cold of our Winters near Lo?i- 

 don, if planted in the open Air j 

 but it it be preferved in a com- 

 mon Frame from the Severity of 

 Froft, it will thrive very well: 

 This is propagated by planting its 

 Cuttings in any of the Summer 

 Months, obfcrving to water and 

 Jhade them from the Violence of 



G R 



the Sun in the Middle of the Day, 

 and in about two Months they will 

 be rooted enough to tranfplant, at 

 which Time you ihould provide a 

 Parcel of fmall Pots, which fhould 

 be filled with light, fandy Earth, 

 planting your young Plants therein, 

 Ihading them again until they have 

 taken new Roots, after which they 

 may be expos'd until the End of 

 Oaobery when you fnould remove 

 the Pots into Shelter for the Winter- 

 Scafon. But altho' I have advifed 

 the planting thefe Plants into Pots, 

 yet if you have a Stock of them, 

 you may plant fome of them Abroad 

 under a warm Wall, where they will 

 ftand very well in mild Winters; 

 but in very fharp Frofts they are 

 generally deftroy'd.
