Fruit , always having three Furrows ; 

 and the Flower is equal with incurved 

 Petals.

1 . Angelica fatina. C. B. Com- 

 mon or manured Angelica. 



2. Angelica fyhftfiris major. 

 C. B. Greater wild Angelica. 



3. Ancelica lucida CauaJenfis, 

 Cor nut. Shining Canada Angelica. 



4. Angelica montana perennis, 

 aquilegise folio. Tourn. Mountain

 leaves. 



There are feveral other Species of 

 this Plant, which are preferved in 

 the curious Botanic Gardens ; but as 

 there are at prefent no particular 

 Ufes to which thefe are applied, it 

 would be needlefs to enumerate them 

 here. 



The common Angelica delights to 

 grow in a very moilt Soil : the Seeds 

 of this Plant fhould be fown foon 

 after it is ripe ; for if it is kept un- 

 til the Spring, feldom one Seed in 

 forty will grow. When the Plants 

 are come up about fix Inches high, 

 they fhould be tranfplanted at a large 

 Diitance; for their Leaves extend 

 very wide : the beft Place for this 

 Plant is upon the Sides of Ditches, 

 or Pools of Water, where being 

 planted about two Feetafunder, they 

 will thrive exceedingly. The fecond 

 Year after fowing, they will moot 

 up to flower : therefore, if you have 

 a mind to continue their Roots, you 

 Ihould cut down thefe Stems in May, 

 which will occafion their putting out 

 Heads from the Sides of the Roots, 

 whereby they may be continued for 

 three or four Years; whereas if they 

 had been permitted to feed, their 

 Roots would perifh foon after. 



The Gardeners near London pro- 

 pagate great Quantities of this Plant, 

 for which they have a great Demand 



from the Confectioners, who make 

 a Sweet-meat with the tender Stalks 

 of it, cut in May. 



This Plant is alfo ufed in Medi- 

 cine, as are alfo the Seeds : there- 

 fore where it is cultivated for the 

 Seeds, there fhould be new Hanta- 

 tions annually made to fupply the 

 Places of thofe which die. 



The fecond Sort grows wild by 

 the Ditches Sides in many Parts of 

 England, and is rarely propagated in 

 a Garden. 



The other two Sorts may be pro- 

 pagated by fowing their Seeds in the 

 manner as was directed for the com- 

 mon Sort ; but they mould be plant- 

 ed in a drier Soil, and in a fhady Si- 

 tuation.
