The Species are j 



1. SmyrniuxM j M^/i^^. Common 

 Alexanders. 



2. SmyniuM; percgrinum, rotundo 

 folio. C. B. P. Foreign Alexanders, 

 with a round Leaf.

The firft of thefe Sorts (which 

 is that ordered by the College for 

 Medicinal Ufe) grows wild in divers 

 Parts of England, and at prefent is 

 fcldom cultivated in Gardens 5 tho' 

 formerly it was greatly ufed in the 

 Kitchen, before Sellery was fb much 

 cultivated, which hath taken Place 

 of Alexanders in moft Peoples Opi- 

 nion. The other Sorts are preferv'd 

 in Botanic k Gardens for Variety, 

 but may either of them be culti- 

 vated for the UJe of the Kitchen. 

 The fecpnd Sort is much preferable 

 to the fird for blanching, as I have 

 try'd, and will be tenderer, and not 

 quite fo ftrong. 



All thefe Plants may be propa- 

 gated by fowing their Seeds upon 

 an open Spot of Ground in Augujl, 

 fo fconas they are ripej for if they 

 arc preferv'd till Spring, they often 

 mifcarry, or at leaft do not come 

 up until the fecond Year j whereas 

 thofe fown in Autumn, do rarely 

 fail of coming up foon after Chriji- 

 mas, and will make much ftronger 

 Plants than the other. 



In the Spring thefe Plants fliould 

 be hoed out, i^o as to leave them 

 ten Inches or a Foot apart each 

 Way 3 and during the folio Vv/ing 

 Summer they mufl be confianrly 

 clear'd from Weeds, which if pcr- 

 jnitted to grovy amonglf them, 



s o 



will draw them up jQcnder, and 

 render them good for little, i^ 

 February following the Plants will 

 fhoot up again vigoroufly, at which 

 Time the Earth muft be drawn up 

 to each Plant to blanch 'em -, and 

 in three Weeks after, they will be 

 fit for Ufe, when they may be duo- 

 up, and the white Part preferved^ 

 which may be ftew'd, and eaten 

 as Sellery.
