The firft cf thefe Sorts is found 

 wild in many Parts of England ; but 

 may be propagated in Gardens, by 

 lowing, the Seeds in Spring, or part- 

 ing the Roots : it will grow in al- 

 moft any Soil or Situation. This is 

 the Sort commonly ufed in Medi- 

 cine ; though the lecond Sort hath 

 of late prevailed in the Markets. 

 The fecond and third Sorts may be 

 propagated in the fame manner as 



the f.rft, and are equally as hardy. 

 The fourth Sort is fomewhat ten- 

 derer, and mould be kept in Pots, 

 and fhelter'd in Winter : this is in- 

 creafed either by Seeds, or by plant- 

 ing Cuttings in any of the Summer-, 

 months. 



The fifth Sort has been known in 

 the Gardens, by the Name of Ma- 

 rum with a Penyroyal-fcent This 

 is ufually preferved in Pots, and fhel- 

 tered in Winter under a common 

 Hot-bed- frame : for in fevere Froft 

 it will not live in open Air ; but in 

 moderate Winters it will live abroad 

 in a warm Situation. This Plant 

 feldom rifes above fix Inches high ; 

 the Stalks commonly decay to the 

 Root in the Winter ; but in Sum- 

 mer they grow ligneous, and are be- 

 fet with fmall hoary Leaves by Pairs; 

 and the fmall white Flowers come 

 out in Whorles round the Stalks : 

 this Piant will ripen Seeds very well, 

 by which the Plant may be eafily 

 propagated, as alfo by Cuttings, in 

 any of the Summer-months. 



The fixth Sort will live abroad in 

 mild Winters ; but in fevere P rolls 

 is often deftroyed : therefore, to main- - 

 tain the Sort, there mould be one or 

 two Plants iheltered in Winter : this 

 is eafily propagated by Seeds.
