1 3. Capsicum fruclu maxima oh- 

 Jongo rugofo, plerumque nutante, ru- 

 bro. Capficum with large oblong 

 red rough Pods, for the moll part 

 hanging downwards. 



Thefe Sorts of Capficums are 

 fown in many curious Gardens with 

 other annual Plants, in Hot-beds, 

 and require to be treared after the 

 fame manner as was directed for the 

 Amaranthus ; and, in the Autumn- 

 feafon, make a very pretty Diver- 

 fity, being intermixed therewith. 

 They are all tolerably hardy, and 

 may be planted abroad toward the 

 End of May, or the Beginning of 

 June, either in Pots, or open Bor- 

 ders, where they v. ill ripen their 

 Fruits very well; except the third, 

 thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, fix- 

 teemh, and feventeenth Sorts, which 

 are tenderer, and mult be brought 

 forward under Glaffes, otherwise 

 their Fruit will not come to good. 

 The thirteenth, fourteenth, and fif- 

 teenth Sorts will remain for feveral 

 Years, and form handfome Shrubs, 

 if you take proper Care to preferve 

 them in the Stove in the Winter ; 

 during which Seafon their Fruits 

 will remain and ripen, and appear 

 very beautiful. Indeed, I believe, 

 all the Sorts may be preferved over 

 the Winter, were we to take off a 

 Part of their Fruits, before they are 

 grown fo big as to exhauft the 

 Strength of the .Plant; and obferve 

 to houfe them in time : but as they 

 perfect their Fruit fo eafily in one 

 Summer, it is feldom praclis'd but 

 with thofe Sorts that do not fo rea- 

 dily ripen their Seeds. 



The Fruit of thefe Plant?, though 

 at prefent of no great Ufe in Eng- 

 land, yet the eighteenth Sort affords 

 one of the wholfomeft Pickles in the 

 World, if they are gathered young, 

 before their Skins grow tough. The 

 Inhabitants of the Weft -Indies eas 



great Quantities of this Fruit raw, 

 not only while it is green, but alfo 

 when it is fully ripe ; at which time 

 it is fo very acrid, as to caufe an 

 extraordinary Pain in the Mouth and 

 Throat of fuch Perfons as are not ac- 

 cullom'd to eat it. 



The Inhabitants of the Weft- Indies 

 make great Ufe of the Bird-pepper ; 

 which they dry, and beat to a Pow- 

 der, and mix with other Ingredients, 

 which they keep by them at all 

 times for Sawce, and ufe it inftead 

 of Pepper j of which they fend fome 

 of thefe Pepper-pots to England, by 

 the Name of Cayan Butter or Pep- 

 per-pot ; and are by fome of the Eng- 

 lijb People mightilv eiteem'd.
