The TraElicd Kitchen Gardiner. 



for that purpofe; yet fince it is ufed 

 fometimes as a royal fallet, and that fuc- 

 cory is ufed no other way, I thought it 

 proper to infert it here, that there may 

 be nothing wanting under this head for 

 the boiler, whether dcfigned for foups, 

 ragows or broths, as well as the others 

 that are for eating with meat, and the 

 like. 



Tho' writers of botany have no where, 

 as I have read, fo much as guefs'd at 

 the etymology of this plant cali'd fuc- 

 cory, being the cichorium of the anti- 

 cnts 5 yet we find two kinds that have 

 had a place in our HerbalSy that are raif- 

 cd in gardens, and ufeful in the kitchen, 

 and they are the cichorium fativum flora 

 caruleo, and the cichorium fativum flora 

 albOy the blue and white leav'd garden 

 fuGCory, p. 282. of Gerard^ and 777. of 

 ^arkinfon 5 both which are at this time 

 cultivated in our gardens. Mr. Evelyn 

 fays of it, that it is an intube erraticy 

 and wild with a narrow dark leaf, dif- 

 ferent from the fative or garden kind ; 

 but our HerbalSy as above, make two 

 kinds of that which is raised in gardens, 

 and two kinds that are wild, without 

 i:eckoning endive, which is alfo an in- 



tube^
