from the Sen, and dury watered, 

 lentil they hav e taken Root. The 

 Reman and Sea Wormwoods are 

 great Creepers at the Roots, and 

 will foon fpread over a large Piece 

 of Ground. The Tree Wormwood 

 rifes to be a Shrub five or fix Feet 

 Sigh, and is kept in Gardens as a 

 Rarity ; and was formerly preferved 

 in Green-houfes ; but hath been 

 found hardy enough to endure our 

 common Winters abroad, if planted 

 in Places flittered from the North- 

 ern Winds. This Shrub makes an 

 agreeable Variety in fmall Quarters 

 of Ever-greens, or flowering Snrubs. 

 The hoary Leaves, which continue 

 all the Year frefli, ftrike the Eye at 

 a great Pittance, and have a good 

 Effect in diverfifying the Planta- 

 tions. This Shrub is eafiiy raifed 

 from Cuttings planted in any of the 

 Summer Months (under an Hedge 

 or Wall), where they may have 

 only the morning Sun ; and being 

 frequently watered, will take Root 

 in a Month or fix Weeks time, when 

 they may be removed to any Places 

 where they are defigned to remain ; 

 obferving in this (as in many other 

 Shrubs and Plants which are Natives 

 of a warmer Climate) to p'ace them 

 in a. dry Situation : Wet, efpecially 

 in Winter, is the mofl: deuructive to 

 all thefe Sorts of Plants. 



The twenty -fifth Sort, being a 

 Shrub, mud be propagated by Cut- 

 ting?, after the manner directed for 

 the fifth Sort. This muft be kept 

 m Pots, that they may be removed 

 into the Green-houfe in Winter, be- 

 caufe in very fevere Froft it is often 

 deuroyed ; tho 1 in mild Winters it 

 will live in the open Air, provided 

 It is planted on a dry Soil, and in 

 a warm Situation. 



The twerity-fecond and twenty- 

 third Sorts arc Native of the Cape

be propagated by planting either 

 Cuttings or Slips in any of the Sum- 

 mer Months, obferving to water and 

 made them until they have taken 

 Root ; then they may be placed 

 abroad among other Exotic Plants, 

 where they may remain till October , 

 when they mult be removed into the 

 Green-houfe, and placed with Myr- 

 tles, and other hardy Plants, which 

 require a large Share of free Air in 

 mild Weather, and only want Pro- 

 tection from fevere Frofts. They 

 will require to be frequently wa- 

 tered in mild Weather, and mould 

 have a light frefh Soil. The twenty- 

 fecond Sort will rife to the Height 

 of feven or eight Feet ; but the 

 twenty-third Sort is an humble Plant, 

 Thefe feldom produce Seeds in Eu- 

 rope. 



All the other Sorts are low Plants, 

 which may be propagated by their 

 Roots, many of which are apt to 

 creep too much, fo as to render it 

 difficult to keep them within Com- 

 pafs. Thefe do many of them die 

 to the Ground in Autumn, and rife 

 again the following Spring. The 

 beft Seafon for tranfplantrng thefe 

 Plants is in March > juft before they 

 begin to moot : they will grow in 

 almoft any Soil or Situation ; but 

 the Eaftern Kinds mould be planted 

 in a warmer Place than the other 

 Sorts. They mould be planted in 

 Beds about four Feet broad, with 

 Paths two Feet broad between each 

 Bed, for the more convenient clean- 

 ing them from Weeds, and for ga- 

 thering the Flerb for Ufe. The 

 Diftance which mould be allowed to 

 the Plants ought not to be lefs than 

 eighteen Inches or two Feet ; be- 

 caufe, as they arc great Runners by 

 the Roots, they will foon meet, and 

 fpread over the whole Beds. They 

 may remain in thefe Lcds three or 

 four Year.., and will require no other 

 Culture,
