Thefe Plants grow plentifully in 

 the Southern Parts of France, in 

 Spain and Italy, where, upon dry 

 rocky Soils near the Sea, they 

 thrive prodigioufly j but notwith- 

 Jftanding they are produc'd in warm 

 Countries, yet they are hardy e- 

 nough to bear the Cold of our or- 

 dinary Winters very well in the o- 

 pen Air, provided they are planted 

 upon a poor, dry, gravelly Soil 5 

 on which they will endure the 

 Cold much better than upon a 

 richer Soil, where the Plants will 

 grow more vigorouily in Summer, 

 and fo be more fubje6t to Injury 

 from Froli, and they will not have 

 fo ftrong an Aromatick Scent as 

 thofe upon a dry barren Soil. 



Thole Sorts with ftrip'd Leaves 

 are Ibmev/hat tender, and fhould 

 either be planted near a warm Wall, 

 or in Pots fill'd with light frefli 

 Earth, and ihelter'd in Winter un- 

 der a Frame, ctherwiie they will 

 befubjed: to die in frofty Weather. 



All thefe Sorts may be progaga- 

 ted by planting Slips or Cuttings of 

 them in the Spring of the Year, 

 upon a Bed of a light frefh Earth j 

 and v/hen they arc rooted, they 

 may be tranlpianted into the Places 

 where they are deiign'd to grow ; 

 but it will be proper to do ti^is a- 



R U 



bout the Beginning of Augufl, that^ 

 they may take new Root before 

 the frofty Weather comes on ; for 

 if they are pknted too late in Au- 

 tumn, they feldorri live through' 

 the Winter, efpecially if the Wea- 

 ther proves very cold j' fo that if 

 you do not trahfplant them early^ 

 it will be the better Method to let 

 them remain unremovcd until March 

 following, when the Froft is over, 

 obferving never to tranfpkrit them 

 at a Seafbn when the dry Eafif 

 Winds blow, but rather defer the 

 doing of it until the Seaibn is more 

 favourable ; for if they are planted 

 vvhen there are cold drying Winds* 

 they are apt to dry up tfieir Leaves, 

 and kill 'em : But if there happens to 

 be feme warm Showers foon after 

 they are removed, it will caufe 'em 

 to take Root immediately j fo that 

 they will require no farther Carey 

 but to keep them clear from 

 Weeds. 



Ahho' thefe Plants are tender 

 when planted in a Garden, yet 

 when they arc by Accident rooted 

 in a Wall (as I have fever al times 

 feen 'emj they will endure the 

 greatefl: Cold of our Winters, 

 though expos'd much to the cold 

 Winds y which is occafioned by the 

 Plant's being more flunted and 

 ftrong, and their Roots being dri- 

 er. 



The Flowers of the narrow- 

 leav'd Garden Sort are ufed in Me- 

 dicine, as are alfo the Leaves arid 

 Seeds.
