The fifth Sort is that which is 

 moft commonly cultivated in Eng- 

 land, the Seeds of which are Ibid 

 in the Seed Shops, but the other 

 Sorts deferve to be preferv'd as 

 much as that ; for the various Sorts, 

 when rightly intermix'd, afford 

 an agreeable Varrcty. They arc all 

 annual Plants, which perifli fbon 

 after they have perfefted their Seeds j 

 which if permitted to fcatter upon 

 the Borders, will come up without 

 any farther Care. The Plants com- 

 monly grow about a Foot high, 

 and if they have a good Soil will 

 fend forth many Branches, each of 

 which terminates in a Flower.

 Tlant agrees in every refpeci, except-

There is but one Species of this 

 Plant at prclcnt known, which is, 



Nissolia; vulgaris. Tourn. Com- 

 mon Crimlbn Grafs-Vetch. 



This Plant is found wild in feve- 

 ral Parts of England, growing com- 

 monly by the Sides of Foot-paths, 

 but is not very common near 

 London : I have gather'd it in a Field 

 juft before you come to Futney- 

 Common, on the Left-hand Side of 

 the Road, under the Hedge v/hich 

 parts the Field from the Road. 



This Plant may be cultivated by 

 fowing the Seeds in Augujt, foon 

 after they are ripe, on a dry Soil, 

 and in a warm Situation, where 

 they will rife foon after, and endxirc 

 the Cold of our CHmate very well,

in the Spring, the Plants commonly 

 decay before they come to flower, 

 as I have feveral times experienc'd : 

 therefore you need only to let the 

 Seeds fail upon the Ground when 

 they are ripe, and they will grow 

 without any farther Trouble, but 

 only to keep them clear from 

 Weeds. 



The Flowers of this Plant are 

 fmaller than thofe of the Sweet 

 Tea, but are much the fame in 

 Shape, and of a fine fcarlet Colour, 

 fo that being intermix'd in large 

 Borders amongft thefe and otho" 

 annual Plants, it niakcs a pretty 

 Variety, and deferves a Place in every 

 good Garden.

NORTHERN ASPECT is the 

 the leaft favourable of any in Eng- 

 land, as having very little Benefit 

 from the Sun, even in the Height 

 of Summer, therefore can be of 

 little Ufe, whatever may have been 

 advanc'd to the contrary ; for al- 

 though many Sorts of Fruit-trees' 

 will thrive and produce Fruit in 

 fuch Polkions, yet luch Fruit can 

 be of little Worth-, fmce they are 

 depriv'd of the kindly Warmth of 

 the Sun to corre6l their crude 

 Juices, and render them well-tafted 

 and wholfome. Therefore it is to 

 little Purpofe to plant Fruit-trees 

 againft fuch Walls, except it be 

 thofe which are intended forBake- 

 ing, ^0. where the Fire will ripen 

 and render thofe Juices wholibmc, 

 which for want of Sun could not 

 be perform'd while growing.
