Penthoufe, which being let down 

 in the great Rains, or Cold Nights, 

 during the Time that the Trees 

 were in flower, or the Fruit was 

 fetting, proved ferviceable ; but 

 then thefe Shelters were renioved 

 away foon after the Fruit was fet, 

 fo that the Trees might enjoy all 

 the Advantages of Rain, Dew, c>f. 

 in the Summer j which is abfolutely 

 neceflary, if we would have healthy 

 Trees, or good Fruit. 



HORMINUMi Clary. 

 The Characiers are } 



It hath a labiated lloroer, conjijl- 

 ing of one Leaf, vhofe upper Lip is 

 (kort and crefied, but the under one 

 is divided into three Farts, the middle 

 Divijion is holloveed like a Spoon j out 

 of the Flower-cup arifes the Pointal, 

 fixed like a Nail to the hinder Fart 

 of the Flower, and attended with

 to fo many roundifh Seeds, inch fed in 

 the Cup of the Flower. 

 The Species are ;

 ple-violet Top. 



3. HoRMiNUM ; Jylveflre, latifo- 

 lium, njerticillatum. C. B. P. Broad- 

 leav'd wild Clary, with whorled 

 Spikes. 



The firft of thefe Plants is found 

 wild upon dry Banks, in divers 

 Parts of England, and is feldom 

 cultivated in Gardens 5 the Seeds 

 of this Kind are by fome People 

 greatly cfteem'd for clearing the 

 Eyes, of any thing that may have 

 gotten into them, which is efFe6ted 

 by the glutinous Quality of the 

 Seed, which, when put into the 

 Eye, and moved about, will faften 

 any thing thereto which it meets 

 with, and thereby it is taken out. 



H o 



I'he fecond Sort is a beautiful an- 

 nual Plant, and deferves to have a 

 Place in a good Garden, for the 

 Oddnefs of its Spikes, which have 

 fine Purple-violet coloured Tops ; 

 But the third Sort is not very beau- 

 tiful, and is chiefly cultivated in 

 Botanick Gardens, with many other 

 Varieties of icfs Note. 



Thefe may all be propagated by 

 fowing their Seeds in the Spring in 

 an open Situation, and when the 

 Plants are come up, they fliould be 

 either tranlplanted out to the Di- 

 ftance of a Foot fquare, or hoe'd 

 out to the fame Diltance, obferve- 

 ing to keep 'em clear from Weeds, 

 which is all that is needful to be 

 regarded in their Culture. 



The firfl and third Sorts are 

 abiding Plants, their. Roots conti- 

 nuing feveral Years j but the Iccond 

 Sort will decay foon after the Seeds 

 are perfeded. If the Seeds of this 

 Kind are permitted to (bed upon 

 the Ground when they are ripe, 

 the Plants will come up in Autumn, 

 abide the Winter, and flower early 

 in the fucceeding Summer, and 

 their Flowers will be much larger 

 than thofe which are fown in the 

 Spring. For Garden Clary, fee 

 Sclarea.
