 FhiL Broad-leav'd Herbaceous Je- 

 rufalem Sage from the Levant, 

 with yellow Flowers growing in 

 Whorles. 



The three firft-mention'd Sorts 

 grow to he Shrubs of a middling 

 Size, and are proper to intermix 

 with other Sorts of Plants which 

 are of the iame Growth in fmall 

 Wildernels Quarters, where, by the 

 Diverfity of their hoary Leaves, their 

 large Spikes of yellow Flowers, and 

 their long Continuance in flower, 

 they make an agreeable Variety. 



Thefe Plants have been preferv'd 

 in Pots, and placed in the Green- 

 houfe in Winter among other ten- 

 der Exoticks: but they are hardy 

 enough to endure the Cold of our 

 ordinary Winters in the open Air, 

 provided they are planted in a dry 

 Soil, and have a warm Situation j 

 and are rarely injured by Cold, un- 

 lefs in a very fevere Froft, 



They are propagated by Cuttings 

 m this Country} for their Seeds 

 do feldom ripen well in England, 

 except in very warm dry Seafbns. 

 The beft time to plant thefe Cut- 

 tings is in May, that they may 

 have good Roots before Winter : 

 They fliould be planted in a Bed of 

 frefli light Earth, and fhaded from 

 the Sun until they have taken 

 Root i after which they will re- 

 quire no farther Care, but only to 

 keep them clear from Weeds until 

 the following Springs wheii they 

 may be removed to the Place's

whefe they are defign'd to be cori'- 

 tinu'd. 



The beft Seafon for tranfplanting 

 them is in March, before they be- 

 gin to fnoot, obferving to preferve 

 a Ball of Earth to the Ilooc of eacli 

 Plant, as alio to water 'em until 

 they have taken Root : And in or- 

 der to form them inro a regular 

 Shape, they fi-.ouid be ftak'd, and 

 their Stems kept conftantly faften'd 

 thereto, until they arrive at the 

 Height you delign 'em j then ypvL 

 may iiiffer their Branches to (hoot 

 out on every Side, to make a hand- 

 fbme Head j in order to which, 

 you fliould prune off fuch Bran- 

 ches as grow irregular to either 

 Side, which muft always be per- 

 form'd in Summer; for if they arS 

 wounded in Winter, the Gold does 

 often injure the Plants, by entering 

 the Wounds. 



The Soil in Vs^hich they are pla- 

 ced fhould not be dung'd, for that 

 cauies them to grow too faft-j 

 whereby their Shoots are too replete 

 with Moifture, and fb Icfs capable 

 to endure the Cold ; v/hereas if 

 they are planted upon a dry, bar- 

 ren, rocky Soil, they are feldoni 

 injured by Cold, which is the Cafe 

 of moft of the fame Glafs of Plants 

 with Lip-flowers. 



The other Sorts are all of them 

 propagated by parting of their 

 Roots, which fhould be done in 

 the Spring of the Year, obferving 

 to preferve a leading Bud to each 

 Off-fet : Thefe Ihould alio be pla- 

 ced in a dry, rocky, or gravelly 

 Soil, in whitch they Will thrive: 

 much better than if planted in 3 

 richer Ground, and will endure 

 the Cold of our ordinary Winters 

 extremely well in the open Air. 



Thefe are Plants of no great 

 Beauty, but are preferved in the 



S Gardenf
