wild in divers Parts of ^ngUnd. 

 The other Sorts are only kept by 

 liich as delight in a Variety of Plants 5 

 for they have no great Beauty in 

 their Flowers, nor are there any 

 Ulcs to which they are applied. 



They may be all propagated by 

 fowing their Seeds in March upon 

 a Bed of frefli light Earth j and 

 when they are come up, they 

 fhould be tranfplanted out into a 

 dry Soil, at about eighteen Inches 

 or two Feet afunder, where they 

 will require no farther Culture than 

 only to keep them clear from 

 Weeds. But the fourth Sort is 

 ibmewhat tender, and fhould have 

 a warm Situation, otherwiie it is 

 in Danger of being kill'd by Frofts.

We have but one Species of this 

 Plant, at preient, in England., which 

 is, 



■ Marum i Syriacum, vel Creticum. 

 M. L. Syrian Maftick, vulgo. 



This Plant is propagated by plant- 

 ing Cuttings, in any of the Sum- 

 nier Months, upon a Bed of frcfli 

 light rich Earth, obferving to wa- 

 ter and fhade them until they have 

 taken Root ; after which, they may 

 fee tianfplanted either into Pots or 



M A 



Borders of the ftme frefli light 

 rich Earth : But the greateft Diffi- 

 culty is, to preferve it from the 

 Cats, who will come from a great 

 Diftance to tear this Plant in Pie- 

 ces, and from whom there is 

 fcarcely any guarding it, efpecially 

 near Towns and Cities, where 

 there are many of thefe Animals, 

 unlefs by planting large Quantities 

 of it 5 tor it is obferveabie, that 

 where there are but few Plants, 

 the Cats will not leave them, until 

 they have quite demolifh'd themj 

 whereas, when a large Quantity of 

 the Plants are fet in the fame 

 Place, they will not come near 

 them, 



Thofe Plants, which are put in- 

 to Pots, fhould be flielter'd in Win- 

 ter ; but thofe in the full Ground, 

 will abide the Cold of our ordina- 

 ry Winters very well, provided 

 they are planted on a warm dry 

 Soilj and may be dipt into Pyra- 

 mids or Balls, in which Figures I 

 have feen fome Plants of this Kind 

 near three Feet high, which have 

 endur'd the open Air feveral Years 

 without any Covering.
