The firltSort grows wild in many 

 Parts of England; which is the Sort 

 fometimes ufed in Medicine, and 

 which was fome Years fince in great 

 Efteem to form green Chimney-pieces 

 for the Summer- feafon, which fome 

 People were very dextrous in make- 

 ing, by framing a Parcel of Laths 

 together of the juft Dimenfions of 

 the Place where it was to ftand ; 

 and then fattening this Plant to the 

 feveral Parts of it, fo as to cover 

 the Whole with Green : and altho' 

 this was only performed with Cut- 

 tings of the Plant, yet by giving 

 the Whole a gentle Watering once 

 a Week, the Plant would not only 

 live, but (hoot in Length, and con- 

 tinue frefli for two Months, and 

 appear very handfome. 



The other Sorts are feldom pro- 

 pagated but in Botanic Gardens, 

 for the fake of Variety. They are 

 all of* them very hardy Plants ; but 

 they m»ft have a dry Soil ; for they 

 are fubject to rot, if they have too 

 6 



much Moifture. They may be all 

 of them propagated by Cuttings any 

 time in Summer (except the fifth and 

 fixth Sorts, which are only propa- 

 gated by parting of their Roots); 

 as may a!fo any of the other Sorts. 

 The be ft time to part their Roots is 

 in Oclober, when their Shoots de- 

 cay, or February, before they begin 

 to (hoot; for the fifth and fixth Sort* 

 put out their Flowers very early in 

 the Spring. Thefe two Sorts do 

 not grow above fix Inches high, and 

 have thick ftrong Shoots, on the 

 Top of which the Flowers are pro- 

 duced in Clutters. The Roots of 

 thefe Plants fmell like dried Rofcs; 

 from whence they had the Name of 

 Rofe-root. 



The eighth and ninth Sorts are 

 ever-green : thefe put out (lender 

 Shoots about one Foot long, the up- 

 per Part of which are garniflied with 

 Leaves, which are of a glaucous 

 Colour. Thefe two Sorts are very 

 proper Plants for Rock-work, where, 

 if they are planted between the 

 Stones or Shells, they will thrive 

 very well, and have a very good 

 Effecl. Thefe may be eafily pro- 

 pagated by Slips, which may be 

 planted any time of the Year, ex- 

 cept in frofty Weather. 



ANAGALLIS, Pimpernel. 

 The Characters are ; 



The Flower conffts of one Leaf is 

 Jbaptd like a , Wheel, and is cut into 

 feveral Segments : the Point al, which
