The firfl: and fecond Sorts are 

 very common in Hedges, and up- 

 on dry Banks in mofl: Parts of 

 £nglarjd, and are rarely cultivated 

 in Gardens. The third Sort was 

 fiound by Mr. Jacob Bohart in a 

 ■Hedge not far from Oxford, and 

 hath hnce been cultivated in feveral 

 Gardens as a Curiolity. This docs 

 not only difier from the common 

 Brnmbh in the Colour .gf the 



R U 



Fruit, but alio in the Colour of 

 the Bark and the Leaves, which 

 in this Sort are of a lively Green .i 

 whereas thofe of the common Sort 

 are of a dark brown Colour. The 

 fourth Sort is a Variety of the 

 common Bramble, differing there- 

 from only in having flrip'd Leaves, 

 for which it is prcferv'd by fome 

 Perfons who are curious in collect- 

 ing variegated Plants. 



The Rafpberry-BuJJj is alfo very- 

 common in divers V/oods in the 

 Northern Counties of England, but 

 is cultivated in all curious Gardens 

 for the Sake of its Fruit. Of this 

 there art three Kinds, which are cul- 

 tivated commonly in the Gardens 

 near Lo7ulon ; which are the com- 

 mon Red. late Red, and the White 

 Sorts ; but the Sort v/ithout Thorns 

 is lefs common at prelent than the 

 other. 



The ninth, tenth, eleventh and 

 twelfth Sorts are prefer v'd as Curi- 

 ofities in feveral Gardens near Lon^ 

 don; but as their Fruits are of no 

 Value, fo they are fcarcely wcrtjbi 

 cultivating, except in Botanic k Gar- 

 dens for Variety. 



All thefe Plants are eafily propa- 

 gated by Suckers, which they fend 

 from the Roots in great Plenty. 

 The befl Time to take them off, 

 and tranfpiant them, is in October, 

 that they may take good Root be- 

 fore y/inter, which vviii caufethcm 

 to be llrong, and produce Fruit the 

 fucceeding Summer, 



In preparing thefe Plants, their 

 Fibres Ihould be fliorten'd ; but the 

 Buds which are plac'd at a fmall 

 Diffance from the Stem of the 

 Plant, muH: not be cut off, becaufe 

 thofe produce the new Shoots the 

 foi'ovving Summer. Thefe Plants 

 fliould be planted about two Feet 

 asunder in the Rows, and four or 

 five Feet Diilanse Raw iron^ Row i
