3s ihey are feldom cultiv:ited for 

 Ufe. fo I l"hall not enumerate them 

 in his Place. The Sort with broad 

 Leaves is the moft common in Eng- 

 land j this is cultivated in the 

 Kitchen -Gardens as a Soup Herb, 

 and alfb for medicinal Ufe. The 

 next two Sorts are preferved in 

 many Gardens for Variety, being 

 equally as good as the firft for Uie : 

 But the fourth Sort is lefs common 

 in EngUxnJ than either of the 

 former. 



Thefe Plants may be propagated 

 cither by Seeds or parting their 

 Roots ; the Sea(bn for either is in 

 March. If it is done by lowing 

 the Seeds, it fliould be done upon 

 a Bed of light Earth, obferving not 

 to bury the Seeds too Aqqx>, which 

 will caufc 'em to rot : When the 

 Plants are come up they iTiould be 

 carefully clear'd from Weeds, and 

 if the Spring fhould prove dry, if 

 they are water'd twice a Week it 

 will greatly promote their Growth 5 

 and in June the Plants fliould be 

 thinned, leaving 'em about fix Inches 

 afundcr each Way, that they may 

 have Room to fpread, and thole 

 Plants which are drawn out may 

 be traufplmted into frefh Beds at 

 the fame Diilance, obiervinir to 

 water them until they have taken 

 Root, after which they will require 

 no farther Care, but to keep 'em 

 clear from Weeds, and in the Wm- 

 ter following they may be drawn 

 up for Uie. 



But if thefe Plants are propagated 

 by parting their Roots, the old 

 Plants fliould be tiken up about tlie 

 latter End of March, and llipt into 

 as many Parts as can be taken otf 

 with Root i thefe iliould be tranf- 

 plantcd into Beds of frcfli light 

 Earth, at fix or eight Inches di- 

 il.ir.c, obfervino; if the Se^^on is 

 dry to water them uiV-il U cy have 



T I 



taken Root, after which they mud 

 be duly weeded, and they will thrive, 

 and foon be fit tor Ufe. 



In order to favc Seeds of thefe 

 Plants, fome of the old Roots (hould 

 remain unremoved in the Place 

 where they were fown the pre- 

 ceding Year ; thefe will flower in 

 yu-ae, and in ^uly the. Seed will 

 ripen, which mufi: be taken as foon 

 as it is ripe, and beat out, other- 

 wife the firft Rain will wafl:i it all 

 out of the Husks. 



Thefe Plants do root greatly in 

 the Ground, and thereby draw out 

 the Goodnefs of a Soil fooner than 

 moll other Plants ; fo that what-^ 

 ever is fown or planted upon a 

 Spot of Ground whereon Thytm 

 grew the preceding Year, will fel- 

 dom rhrive, unlefs the Ground be 

 trench'd deeper than the Thyme 

 rooted.
