The firft Sort is very common 

 in England, being often planted up- 

 on the Tops of Houfes, and other 

 Buildings, where being preferv'd 

 dry, it will endure the greateft 

 Cold of our Climate This is di- 

 redrcd by the College of Phyiicians 

 to be us'd in Medicine as a great 

 Cooler. It may be propagated by 

 planting the C3lf-lets (which are 

 produc'd in great Plenty from the 

 old Plants) any tmic in Summer. 

 It requires to be plac'd very dry j 

 for if its Roots are moift, the 

 plants will rot in cold Weather. 



The {ccoiid, third, fourirh, lixth, 

 and feventh Sorts grow in Plenty 

 upon Walls and Buildings in divers 

 Piirts oi England, where they pro- 



S E 



p.igate themfclves by their trailing 

 Branches, fo as in a fliort time tc> 

 cover the whole Place, provided 

 they are not cut off. The fixth 

 Sort is alfo prcfcrib'd by the Col- 

 lege of Phyiicians to enter fome 

 officinal Compolitions j but the 

 People who fupply the Markets, 

 do commonly fell the Wall Pepper 

 inftead of this j which is a very 

 wrong Practice, becaufe the fixrli 

 Sort is a very cold Herb, and is ac- 

 cordingly diredfed to be put into 

 cooling Ointments ; and the Wall 

 Pepper is an exceeding fliarp acrid 

 Plant (from whence it received the 

 Name of Wall Pepper) which ren- 

 ders it contrary to the Intention of 

 the Phyficianj therefore whoever 

 makes ufe of thefe Plants, fhould 

 be very careful to have the right, 

 otherwife it is better to ufe the 

 common great Sort, in which 

 they are not fb liable to be im- 

 pos'd on. 



The fifth Sort is a Native of St. 

 Vince}it's Rock in Cornyval, from 

 whence it hath been taken, and 

 diffributed into the feveral Gar- 

 dens of fuch Perfons as are curi- 

 ous in preferving a Variety of 

 Plants. 



Thefe Plants are all extreme har- 

 dy, and will thrive exceedingly, if 

 planted in a dry Soil, and an open 

 Situation, where they will propa- 

 gate themfclves by their trailing 

 Branches, which take Root wIi^tc- 

 ever they touch the Ground. 



The eighth and ninth Sorts do 

 propagate themfelves by Oft-fets, 

 in the manner as the common 

 Sort, though the eighth throws 

 off the young ones from the Top 

 of the Old Plants, which, falling 

 on the Ground, take Root, and 

 thereby are increased very plenti- 

 fully. Thefe are both very hardy,
