 things are in Beauty : The Berries 

 thereof are full of a beautiful red

The Flower confifts of one Leafy 

 tchkh expands in a, circular Tormy 

 and is generally cut into four Seg-

 tpith mar^y Chives, or a tufted Vcin- 

 tali the Flower-cup afterwards be- 

 comes a Fruit, for the rnofl part 

 flmrp-pointed and ^■)uadra?igular ; 

 having fometimcs but one Cell, and 

 ftt ether times two Cells, which are 

 full of oblong Seeds.

There are Ibme other Species of 

 this Plant, which are preferved in 

 curious Botanick Gardens for Vari- 

 ety : But thofe here mentioned are 

 what I have obferved in the En- 

 ^lifjy Gardens. 



The common Burnet is found 

 wild in great Plenty upon dry chal- 

 ky Hills, in divers Parts of Eng- 

 land ; yet is often cultivated in Gar- 

 -<lens for medicinal Ufesj though 

 the Herb gathered on its native 



p I 



Place of Growth, is much flron" 

 ger, and fitter for fuch Purpofes. 



The iecond Sort is found grow» 

 ing in moift Meadows, and other 

 wet Soils in divers Parts of Eng- 

 land, and is rarely cultivated in 

 Gardens. 



The other two Sorts are Stran-% 

 gers to our Country, but are hardy 

 enough to endure the Cold of- our 

 Climate in the open Air. Thefe 

 may be propagated either by {ow- 

 ing of the Seeds, or parting their 

 Roots. 



The befl Time for parting their 

 Roots, is in the Autumn, that they 

 m.ay take good Root before the 

 Drought of the Spring hinders their 

 Growth. They fhould be planted 

 in Beds of light dry Earth, about 

 ten Inches or a Foot afunder, for 

 if they have not Room to fpread, 

 they will rot each other. In May 

 they will fhoot up to flower ; but 

 if you would preferve the Roots, 

 the Stems fliould be conftantly cut 

 off, for if they are permitted to 

 feed, they feldom remain long af- 

 ter. 



They may alio be propagated by 

 fbwing their Seeds upon a Bed of 

 light Earth in the Spring, and when 

 the Plants are come up, they fhould 

 be tranfplanted out into a Bed of 

 frei"h Earth, at the Diftance befbre- 

 mention'd, obferving to water and 

 fliade them until they have taken 

 Root, after which they will require 

 no farther Care, but to keep them 

 clear from Weeds. The fir ft Sort 

 is what fliouId be uled in Medicine, 

 and the Leaves of that are alfo put 

 into cool Tainkards in the Heat of 

 Summer, as a Cordial Herb.
