 Englifi) Gardens, which is of hum- 

 bler Growth than the Common 

 Sort : The Spikes of Flowers are 

 alfo ihorter and looferj but the 

 Leaves are RiU as large as thofe of 

 the common Sort. This I don't 

 jemember to have fcen taken no-

 tarn this Difference.

 by planting Cuttings, during any 

 ot the Summer Months, in a Bed 

 of light rich Earth, observing to 

 water and fhade them, until they 

 have taken Root: After which 

 they nsay be traniplanted into a 

 light dry Soil, and have a warm 

 Situation, where they will endure 

 the Cold of our ordmary Winters 

 very well, and produce great Quan- 

 tities of Flowers in ful^ but fcl- 

 idom ripen their Seeds in this 

 Country. 



The Flowering Part of this Plant 

 is order'd as an Ingredient in Venice 

 Treacle^ for which Purpofe it 

 {hould be propagated in fhyfick- 

 Gardens. And the Plant having an 

 agreeable Scent, and being eafi y

cultivated, may merit a Place in 

 the Borders of every good Garden, 

 where it may be reduced to a re- 

 gular Head, and will appear very 

 handfbme.
