It is a Native of Spain, Italy, the South of

univerfally found in a light dry Soil. 
In our Gardens it will require little Care more

be chofen open to the Morning Sun, and fhel- 
ter’d from its full Beams at Noon, as well as from 
cold Winds. 3 
Let the Mould be dug out two Spades Depth,

As the Roots encreafe faft, they fhould be taken. 
‘up once in three Years, and parted; and at this 
Time the Mould fhould be dug out of the Bor- 
der, and frefh put in its Place. ‘Thus they will
