fowing the Seeds as foon as they 

 are ripe, there is many times a 

 whole Year faved. 



Thefe Plants, when they come 

 up, fhould be conftantly clear'd 

 from Weeds, which if permitted 

 to grow amongrt *em, would caufe 

 their Bottoms to be naked, and 

 many times deftroy the Plants 

 when they continue long undi- 

 fturb'd. 



In this Bed the Plants may remain 

 two Years j after which, in the 

 Spring of the Year, there fhould 

 be a Spot of frefh undung'd Soil 

 prepared, into which the Plants 

 fliould be removed the Beginning 

 of April, placing 'em in Beds about 

 four or five Feet wide, planting 

 them in Rows about a Foot aflmder, 

 and fix Inches Diflance firom each 

 other in the Rows ; obferving to 

 lay a little Mulch upon the Surface 

 of the Ground about their Roots, 

 as alfb to water them in dry Wea- 

 ther until they have taken Root, 

 after which they will require no 

 farther Care, but to keep 'em clear 

 from Weeds in Summer, and to 

 trim them according to the Purpofe 

 for which they are defign'd. 



In thefe Beds they may remain 

 two or three Years, according as 

 they have grown, when they fhould 

 be again remov'd into a Nurfery, 

 placing 'em in Rows at three Feet 

 Diftance, and the Plants eighteen 

 Inches afunder in the Rows, ob- 

 ferving to do it in the Spring, as 

 was before directed, and continue 

 to trim 'em in the Summer Seafbn, 

 according to the Defign for which 

 they are intended j and after they 

 have continued three or four Years 

 in this Nurfery, they may be tranf- 

 planted where they are to remain, 

 always obferving to remove *em in 

 the Spring,

Thefe Trees are very flow in 

 growing, but yet there are many 

 very large Trees upon fome barren 

 cold Soils in divers Parts of EngUnd\ 

 the Timber of thefe Trees is greatly 

 efteem'd for many Ufes. 



TEREBINTHUS j The Turpen- 

 tine Tree. 



The Chummier s are ; 



It is Male and Female in different 

 Tlants ', the Flowers of the Male haiie 

 no ?etals, but confifi of a Number of 

 Stamina rvith Chives y the Embryo's 

 rohich are produced on the Female 

 Trees do afterwards become an Ovai 

 Fruit with a hard Shell, inclofing 

 one or two oblong Kernels. To thefe 

 Notes muft be added, the Leaves art 

 pennated, or winged, which are pro- 

 duced by Fairs oppofite, and end in a 

 fingle Lobe. 



The Species are ; 



1. Terebinth us 5 vulgaris. C.B.P, 

 The common Turpentine Tree. 



2. Terebinthus j Indica, Iheo- 

 phrafii, Fijlachia Biofcoridis. Lob. 

 Adv. The Piftachia Tree, vulgo. 



Thefe Trees are very common 

 in feveral Iflands of the Archipelago^ 

 from whence there are annuaUy 

 great Quantities of the riflachia 

 Nuts brought into England, which 

 do eafily rife if fbwn on a Hot-bed 

 in the Spring i fo that the Trees of 

 this Kind are much more common 

 in England than are thofe of the 

 iirfl Sort, whofe Fruit are rarely, 

 brought over freih : Befides, the 

 Shell of thefe Nuts is much harder 

 than thofe of the Fiflachia, fo that 

 many times the Plants do not come 

 up until the fecond Ytar, which 

 may alfo have contributed to the 

 prefent Scarcity of the Plants in 

 England* 



The Seeds (or Nuts) of both the{e 

 Trees fhould be fown in Pots fill'd
