eeeded by globular Fruit, which are 

 foft and fucculent, and are full of ob- 

 long Seeds, 



The Species are ; 



1. Aralia Canadensis. Tourn. Ca- 

 nada berry-bearing Angelica. 



2. Aralia caule aphyllo, radice 

 repente. D. Sarrazin. Tourn. Berry- 

 bearing Angelica,with a naked Stalk, 

 and creeping Root. 



3. Aralia arbor efcens fpinofa. 

 Vail I. Angelica-tree, vulgo. 



The two firft Species die to the 

 Surface every Year, and rife again 

 the fucceding Spring ; and in July 

 and Auguft produce their Flowers ; 

 and, if the Seafon is warm, perfedt 

 their Fruit in September. 



Thefe are propagated either by 

 fowing their Seeds, or by parting of 

 their Roots ; which lalt, being the 

 moll expeditious Method, is com- 

 monly pradtis'd in England; for the 

 Seeds often abide in the Ground un- 

 til the fecond Year before they arife, 

 and are two Years more before they 

 flower. 



They love a good frefh Soil, not 

 too wet ; and mould be planted either 

 in Autumn, or early in the Spring ; 

 and are very hardy in refpect to 

 Cold. 



The third Sort grows with us to 

 the Height of eight or ten Feet : it 

 ha< produced Flowers in the Phyfic- 

 garden at Chelfeu two or three times ; 

 but has not perfected its Seeds in 

 England that I have yet heard. 



This Shrub requires a dry Soil, 

 and a warm Situation, otherwife it 

 is fubject to be injured by Frofts in 

 the Winter : this is only propagated 

 by Seeds, which are frequently 

 brought from America.

A R B U T U S, The Strawberry- 

 tree. 



The Characlers are ; 

 // is ever-green : the Leaves are 

 oblong, and ferrated on the Edges : 

 the Flowers eonjifl of one Leaf and 

 are Jhaped like a Pitcher : the Fruit 

 is of a flejhy Subfance, and, in its 

 outward Appearance, very like a 

 Strawberry ; but is divided into five 

 Cells, in which are contained many 

 fmall Seeds. 



The Species are ; 



1. Arbutus folio ferrato. C. B. 

 The common Strawberry-tree. 



2. Arbutus folio ferrato, fore 

 cblongo, fruclu ovato. Michel. Hort. 

 Pif Strawberry-tree with longer 

 Flowers, and egg-lhapM Fruit. 



3. Arbutus folio ferrato, flore 

 duptici. Strawberry-tree with double 

 Flowers. 



The Tree has its Name from the 

 Refemb'auce the Fruit bears to that 

 of a Scrawberry , but is of an au- 

 ftere four Tafte ; though I have been 

 inform'd, that in Ireland, where this 

 Tree abounds, the Fruit is fold ancj 

 eaten. In England they are chiefly 

 brought to the Markets with fmall 

 Branches of the Tree, having fmall 

 Bunches of Flowers upon them, and 

 made up into Nofegays with other 

 Flowers, and fome Sprigs of the 

 Amomum Plinii, or Winter-cherry; 

 which, at that Seafon, is very ac- 

 ceptable, when there are few blow- 

 ers to be had. 



The time of this Fruit being ripe 

 is in the Months of Oclvber and No- 

 ve?nber ; at which Seafon the Fiow- 

 ers are blown for the next Year's 

 Fruit j fo that from the time of flow- 

 ering to the ripening of the Fruit, is 

 one whole Year. 



The beft Method of propagating 

 thefe Trees is by fowing their Seeds, 

 which fhould be preferved in dry 

 Sand till March ; ar, which time you
