Xiear CawJJjam in Berkfhire, and up- 

 on Cogmagog Hills in Cambridge- 

 Jhire : It flowers in May. 



The eighth Sort flowers in Au- 

 gufi: This grows upon dry ftony 

 Places, as alio in moift Paftures in 

 the North Parts of England. 



The ninth Sort grows upon Ca-at- 

 pam Hills, as alio upon the dry

The tenth Sort is found about

 of tngland: They both flower in 

 May. 



The feventeenth and eighteenth 

 Sorts grow in moift Pafhurcs very 

 plentifully j the firft flowering in 

 Mayy the other in June, 



The nineteenth Sort grows in 

 moift Paftures, and flowers in 

 June, 



The twentieth Sort grows in dry 

 Paftures, and flowers in May. 



Thus having mention'd the feve- 

 ral Places ot Growth, and the 

 Times of thefe Plants Flowering, it 

 will be no very difficult Task for 

 a Perfon to fearch them out j which, 

 if it happens to be in a Place where 

 the Roots may be mark'd, and ta- 

 ken up after their Leaves are de- 

 cay'd (as I faid before) there will 

 be little Hazard of their fucceed- 

 ing : But if you are obiig'd to take 

 'em up in Flower, you muft be 

 very careful to preferve as much 

 Earth as poiTible to their Roots, 

 otherwife there can be little Hopes 



o R 



of their living. Nor (hould they 

 be kept out ot the Ground longer 

 than till you can conveniently get , j 

 them Home J for if the Air dries 

 the Earth about 'em, they will 

 fhrink, and be good for nothing; 

 and if the Earth be water'd, the 

 Roots of fuch as grow upon dry 

 Soils will rot and perifh j therefore 

 you ftiould be very careful in this 

 Particular.
