The firft of thefe Plants is com- 

 mon in divers Parts of England ^ 

 it grows in great Plenty on Gog- 

 magog-Hills, on the Lett-hand of 

 the Highway leading from Cam- 

 bridge to Haver ily juft on the Top 

 of the Hill ; alfo about Hilderjlmm, 

 fix Miles from Cambridge j and on 

 Bernack-Heath, not far from Stam- 

 ford; and on Southrop-Common, ad- 

 joininji; thereto j alio on mountain- 

 ous and dry Paftuves, julf by Lead- 

 fiane-Hall, near Pcntefraci in Tork- 

 fjjire. It flowers about the End of 

 March or Beginning of April. 



The other Sorts arc lel3 common 

 in England, being all of them Na- 

 tives ot other Countries, and are 

 only to be met with in fome cu- 

 rious Gardens in England, where 

 they are cultivated for the Beauty of 

 their Flowers. 



Thefe Plants may be propagated 

 by Seed, which fliould be Town in 

 Boxes or Pots, fill'd with very light 

 fandy Earth ,• oblerving not to 

 cover the Seeds too deep with 

 Mould, which will prevent their 

 Riling, for they require no more 

 than juft to be cover 'd. Thele 

 Boxes fhould be placed where they 



P u 



may have the Morning Sun until 

 ten of the Clock, but mull be 

 skreen'd from it in the Heat of the 

 Day; and if the Seifon proves dry, 

 the Earth fhould be often refrefh'd 

 with Water. The beft Time for 

 fowing of thefe Seeds is in j^uly, 

 fbon alter they are ripe, for if they 

 are kept till Spring they feldom 

 grow. 



Thefe Boxes or Pots, in which 

 the Seeds are ibwn, fhould remain 

 in this fliady Situation until the 

 Beginning of October, when they 

 fhould be remov'd where they may 

 enjoy the full Sun during the Winter 

 Seafon : About the Beginning of 

 March the Plants v/ill begin to ap- 

 pear; at which Time the Boxes 

 fhould be again remov'd where 

 they rnay have only the Forenoon 

 Suuj for if they are too much ex- 

 posed to the Hear, the young Plants 

 will die away: They fhould alfo be 

 refrefh'd with Water in dry Wea- 

 ther, which will greatly promote 

 their Growth; and they muft be 

 carefully^ prcferv'd from Weeds, 

 v/hich if iuffer'd to grow amongfl 

 them, will in a fliort Time dellroy 

 them . 



When the Leaves of thefe Plants 

 are intirely decay'd (which is com- 

 monly in July) you fhould then 

 take up all the Roots, which being 

 nearly of the Colour of the Ground, 

 will be difficult to find while fmail,- 

 therefore you fliould pafs the Earth 

 through a tine Wire Sieve, which is 

 the befl: Method to leparate the 

 Roots from the Earth (but notwith- 

 flanding all pofllblcCare taken, yet 

 there will be many fmall Roots left i 

 fo that the Earth Ihould either be 

 put into the Boxes again, or fpread 

 upon a Bed of light Earth, to fee 

 what Plants will arife out of it the 

 fucceeding Year :) The Roots being 

 taken up, fhould be immediately 



planted
