the former : This loves a moift 

 rich Soil, and for Variety may be 

 admitted into a Garden. 



The third Sort is found in the 

 North of England in great Plenty, 

 This Plant is not very proper for 

 a Garden, for the Roots fpread- 

 ino" very far under-ground, will 

 over -run whatever Plants fland 

 near itj nor are the Flowers of any 

 Beauty. 



The fourth Sort is a biennial Plant, 

 which produces fine Spikes of fmall 

 purple Flowers in J^wie, and the 

 See^s are ripe in Auguft. 



This Plant may be propagated 

 by fcwing the Seeds foon after they 

 are ripe (for if they are kept until 

 the Spring, they feldom grow) 

 upon a warm Border of bght Earth j 

 and when the Plants are come up, 

 they fhould be tranfplanted into a 

 Border of flrong Eirth, where they 

 may have the Morning Sun j in 

 which Place they fliould remain to 

 flower, for it is a Plant that does 

 not care to be often remov'd. 



The fifth Sort is an abiding Plant, 

 which may be propagated by part- 

 ing its Roots. The bcft Seafon for 

 this Work is at Michaelmas, v-jhen 

 the Leaves begin to decay : It fliould 

 be planted in a moiil: Soil and a 

 ihady Situation, or muft be often 

 water'd, otherwife it will not pro- 

 duce Flowers : It may alfo be pro- 

 pagated by fowing the Seeds in the 

 fame manner as the former; but 

 thofe Plants which rife from Seeds 

 feldom flov/er until the fecond Year, 

 whereas thofe propagated from 

 Off-fets will flower the fucceeding 

 Year. Thele produce their Flowers 

 in July, and their Seeds ripen in 

 Settember,
