The firft and fecond Sorts grow 

 wild in moift Woods and Meadows 

 in molt Parts of England, and con- 



tinue in Flower from May to July. 

 Thefe Plants propagate themfelves 

 greatly by their creeping Stalks, 

 which fend forth Roots at every 

 Joint; fo that where they have room 

 to fpread, they will make a great 

 Increafe ; but they are feldom pre- 

 served in Gardens. 



The Bugle is greatly efteemed as 

 a vulnerary Herb, and is ufed both 

 internally and externally ; it enters 

 as an Ingredient into the vulnerary 

 Decoclions of the Surgeons and is 

 comn. ended, externally applied to 

 Ulcers : it is called Confolida media, 

 or middle Confound. 



The third, fourth, fifth, and fixth 

 Sorts are preferved in Botanic Gar- 

 dens for the fake of Variety : thefe 

 are very hardy Plants, and propa- 

 gate greatly by their trailing Stalks, 

 as the common Sort. They mult 

 have a moift Soil, and a fhady Si- 

 tuation*, where they will thrive ex- 

 ceedingly, without any other Cul- 

 ture, but to keep them clear from 

 Weeds. 



The feventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, 

 and eleventh Sorts weie difcovered 

 by Dr. Tourncfort in the Levant, 

 who fent their Seeds to the Royal 

 Garden at Paris, where they were 

 propagated firft in Europe, and from 

 thence feveral other Gardens have 

 been fupp.ied with thefe Plants. 

 They may be propagated by Seeds, 

 which fhould be fown on a fhady 

 Border, and a light moift Soil, early 

 in the Spring ; and when the Plants 

 begin to appear, they fliould be 

 carefully cleared from Weeds, and 

 in dry Weather muft be frequently 

 watered, other wife they will not 

 make any great Progrefs. When 

 the Plants have acquired Strength 

 enough to be removed, they flio Id 

 be tranfpianted, fome into Pot% and 

 the reft into a fhady moift Border, 

 where they may remain to flower.
