five Feet high, and become very 

 fhrubbyi fo that the Plants mull 

 be allowed at leaft two Feet Room 

 to grow, otherwife they will over- 

 bear each other, or whatever Plants 

 fland near 'em. There is not much 

 Beauty in this Sort, but as it is a 

 medicinal Plant, it fliould have a 

 Place in Phylick Gardens. 



The feventh Sort is a very har- 

 dy Plant, and propagates itfelf by 

 its creeping Roots, lb that if it be 

 not confined in Pots, it will fpread 

 over the Ground where-ever it is 

 planted, fo as not to be ealily kept 

 within Bounds. This being a me- 

 dicinal Plant, flioald alfo have a 

 Place in Phylick Gardens, but there 

 is not much Beauty in it to re- 

 commend it to the Curious. 



The eighth, ninth and tenth 

 Sorts are tender Plants, which 

 come from warm Countries 5 and 

 in England are preferved with great 

 Care in Stoves, amongfl other cu- 

 rious fucculent Plants. Thefe are 

 propagated by Cuttings, which 

 fliould be cut from the old Plants 

 at a Joint, and laid in a dry Part 

 of the Stove for a Fortnight, that 

 the wounded Part maiy heal over 5 

 then they fiiould be planted in fmali 

 Pots, filled with light fandy Earth-, 

 mix'd with Lime-rubbifli, and plun- 

 ged into a Hot-bed of Tanners-bark, 

 where they {hould remain until 

 they have taken Root, atter which 

 they fhould be inured to the Air by 

 Degrees, and then be removed in- 

 to the Stove, where they muft con- 

 ftantly be kept, for they are too 

 tender to be expos'd abroad in the 

 Heat of Summer j therefore they 

 {hould be placed near the Glaffes of 

 the Stove in Summer, where they 

 may have Air in very hot Weather, 

 but they muft not have much 

 Wet, being very full of Moifture, 

 and fubjeft to rot if over watered. 



T O 



In Winter they muft be fet in a 

 warm Part of the Stove, and fliould 

 have very httle Wet during that 

 Sea Ton : With this Management 

 thefe Plants will thrive and g-row 

 very large, but they feldom pro- 

 duce Flowers in this Country. 



The eleventh Sort was found by 

 Monfieur Tournefort in the Levant^ 

 and by him brought into Europe 

 by the Name here given to it, ^ 

 though many curious Botanifts are 

 not iatisfied how it differs from 

 the Tithymalus chctracias rubens pe- 

 regrinus of Cafpar Bauhinus. This 

 has a great deal of the Appearance 

 of our Wood Spurge, but the Stalks 

 are redder, and the Flowers are 

 much fairer : It may be propaga- 

 ted by Cuttings, which fliould be 

 planted in Pots, filled with light 

 fandy Earth, and in Winter muft 

 be flielter'd, other v/iie it is apt to 

 perifh with levere Cold. In March 

 it flowers, at which time it makes 

 a beautiful Appearance, and is wor- 

 thy of a Place in every good Gar- 

 den,
