The fifth Sort of Bear's-breech 

 was difcovered by Dr. Tournefort in 

 the Levant, who fent it to the Royal 

 Garden at Paris. This may be pro- 

 pagated by Seeds, which mould be 

 fown on a Bed of light frefh Earth 

 in the Spring of the Year; and when 

 the Plants are come up, they fhculd 

 be carefully weeded, and in very 

 dry Weather they mould be water- 

 ed, which will greatly promote the 

 Growth of the Plants. In this Bed 

 they may remain until the following 

 Spring, when they mould be care- 

 fully taken up, and tr'anfplanted 

 where they are defigned to remain, 

 which mould be in a wawn Situa- 

 tion, and on a dry frelh Soil. Thefe 

 Plants mould be allowed a great 

 Share of room ; for they are very 

 apt to fpread far; and their Leaves 

 will grow to a great Size, when the 

 Plants are ftrong ; fo that if any 

 -other Plants ftand near them, they 

 will be in Danger of fuffering by be- 

 ing over-fpread.
