it grows in mofl oF the Hedges 

 upon the ciry, chalky Kills near 

 Gra'vcferJ, KochejleVy £^c. in very 

 great Plenty . But notwithilanding 

 it being thus common, yet it de- 

 jTerves a Pbcc in fmall Wildernds 

 Quarters, among other flowering 

 Trees, where, by its mealy Leaves 

 and Shoots, to,2:ether with its large 

 Punches of white Flowers in the 

 Spring, which are fycceeded by red 

 Berries in Autmnn^ it affords an a- 

 greeable Variety. 



This Tree may be propagated 

 either from Seed?, or by laying 

 down the tender Branches ; but the 

 former Method being tedious, is 

 feldom pradlis'd, elpeciaily fince 

 young Plants may be taken from 

 the Woods or Hedges, where there 

 are many of the old Trees grow- 

 ing j from which a Number may 

 foon be propagated. 



The beft Time for Liying thefc 

 Branches is in Autumn, jull as the 

 Leaves begin to fall (the Manner of 

 laying them being the fame as i^or 

 other hardy Trees, need not be 

 repeated j) by the fucceeding Au- 

 tumn the Layers will be rooted, 

 when you may take 'em off fioin 

 the old Plants, and tranfplant them 

 into a Nurfery for two or three 

 Years, in which they may be 

 train'd uo to regular Stems and 

 Heads, and may afterwards be 

 planted where they are to remain. 

 This Tree commonly grows about 

 twelve or tourteen Feet high, but 

 it is rarely feen above fixteen or 

 eighteen, io that it fr.ould be plant- 

 ed in Lines with fuch Trees as do 

 not exceed this Growth ; otherwile 

 it will be hid thereby, and the 

 Beauty loib.

but there is no great Beauty in 

 but theie Trees do feldom grow 

 near io large as thofe of the plain 

 Sort, a.-; is the Cafe of all other 

 ftrio'J Plants. 



There is alio another Sort very 

 like to the Common, which has 

 been introduced into the Englijh 

 Gardens lately, which was brought 

 trom Virginia j but as this Sort has 

 not yet flowcr'd with us, fo I 

 can't fay how it differs from ours. 

 This was at firfl fomewhat tender, 

 while young, and in the Iharp 

 Winter Aano 1718, the Plants of 

 this Kind, which were plac'd in 

 the open Air, were kill'd down to 

 the Ground ; but the Roots of moft 

 of them fliot up igain the fucceed- 

 ing Spring, and have lince endu- 

 red the Cold cf our Winters very 

 well.
