And to both of them that of the mer-

This and the tarragon (as Mr. Evelyn^ 

 in his Acetaria^ has it) ought never to 

 be omitted out of the fallet-compofiti- 

 on, efpecially when qualified with let- 

 tuce, purflane, and other coolers, being 

 highly cordial to the head, heart and 

 liver, correding the weaknefs of the 

 ventricle, and the like. 



It is raised by feeds, which are of a 

 reddifh, or rather dark cinnamon colour^ 

 as fmall as purflane feed , the leaf is pret- 

 ty much like the radifh leaf $ the feeds 

 are fow'd at any time of the year, as o- 

 ther fallet feeds ares but fome of the ^ 

 kinds may be raifed as well of the flips 

 of old plants fet out in April:, in the 

 manner that forrel is planted, and much 

 like it. It is to be often cut down to 

 have it youngs which is a better way 

 than feed, when you once are polTefs'd 

 of the fpecies. But the Roman rocket 

 is an annual, and is raised of the feed 

 that falls from it every year.
