Botany, for the fake of Variety. 

 If the Seeds of this Sort are fuf- 

 fered to fcatter, the Plants will come 

 up the following Spring, provided 

 the Ground is not difturbed ; and 

 if the Seeds are fown in Autumn, 

 the Plants will come up the follow- 

 ing Spring. 



AMM1, Bi mops- weed. 

 The Characters are ; 



*This is an umbelliferous Plant, 

 with /mail Jlriated Seeds : the Petals 

 cf the Flower are unequal, and jhaped 

 like an Heart. 



The Species are ; 



1. Am mi mo. jus. C. B. The 

 greater Bilhops weed. 



2. Am Mi majus, foliis plurimum 

 incifts, iff nonnihil cri/pis. C. B. 

 The greater Bilhops-weed, with fine 

 cut Leaves. 



3. Ammi pcrenne. M.Um. Per- 

 ennial Bifhops-weed. 



The Seeds of the firil and fecond 

 Kinds mould be fown in an open 

 Situation early in the Spring ; and 

 when the Plants are young, they 

 may be prick'd out into Beds of a 

 fandy Soil, at about fix Inches Di- 

 ftance from each other, obferving 

 to water them until they have taken 

 frefti Root ; after which time they 

 will require no more Care, but to 

 keep them clear from Weeds ; and, 

 if the Seafon prove good, they will 

 ripen their Seeds in Autumn : or 

 they may be fown thin on a large 

 Bed ; and when the Plants are come 

 up, where they are too thick, they 

 may be hoed out, as is pratlifcd for 

 Carrots, Onions, &c. 



The Seeds of the firft Sort are 

 ufed in Medicine : the fecond is a 

 Variety of the firft, which is ac- 

 cidental from the fame Seeds : the 

 third is an abiding Plant, which mul- 

 tiplies very faft by its Root, which 

 is very apt to fpr^ad far under- 

 ground, for which Reafon it Ihou'd 



never be planted in a good Garden. 

 Thefe are all Varieties fitter for a 

 Botanic or Phyfic-garden, than for 

 Gardens of Pleafure.

AMYGDALUS, The Almond- 

 tree. 



The Characters are ; 

 // hath L eaves and Flowers <very> 

 like thofe of the Peach-tree ; but the 

 Fruit is longer, and more comprejftd: 

 the outer green Coat is thinner and 

 drier when ripe, and the Shell is 

 not fo rugged. 



The Species are ; 



1. Amy COAL us fati<vn, fruelu 

 majore. C. B. P. The common 

 large Almond.

 molliori, C. B. P. The {weet Al- 

 mond, with tender Shells. 



3. Amycdalus amara. C.B.P. 

 The bitter Almond. 



4. Amycdalus fati<va , fore alio. 

 The white-flowering Almond. 



The firft, fecond, and third Sorts 

 are chiefly cultivated in England for 

 the Beauty of their Flowers, which 

 are produced early in the Spring, 

 when few other things appear ; 

 which renders them worthy of a 

 Place in the bed Gardens, where 

 being intermixed with other flower- 

 ing Trees, either in Wildernefs- 

 quarters, or in Walks, they make 

 a very fine Appearance. 



They are propagated by inocu- 

 lating a Bud of thefe Trees into a 

 Plum, Almond, or Peach-flock, in 

 the Month of July (the Manner of 

 this Operation fee under the Artic'e 

 of Inoculation). The next Spring, 

 when the Buds fhoot; you may train 

 them up either for Standards, or 

 fufFer them to grow for half Stand- 

 ards (according to your own Fancy);
