There are feveral other Varieties 

 of this Plant, which are kept in cu- 

 jious Botauic Gardens; but thefe 

 liere mentioned are the principal 

 Sorts we have at prefent in the Eng- 

 Ufo Gardens. 



The firft Sort is the common Ca- 

 momile of the Shops, and is the only 

 Kind which is propagated for Ufe 

 in the- Englifo Gardens : this was 

 formerly in great R.equeft for muke- 



ing of green Walks; but as it is 

 very fubjeel to rot in Winter, efpe- 

 cia'.ly when grown pretty thick, 

 whereby the Walks planted there- 

 with will have many bare Patches, 

 and are thereby rendered very un- 

 fightly, it hath occafioned the Difufe 

 of it for thofe Purpofes of later 

 Years ; but it is ftill cultivated in 

 Phyfic-gardens for medicinal Ufe, 

 tho' it grows wild in great Plenty 

 on moll of the large Commons or 

 Heaths near London. 



The fecond Sort is preferved in 

 Gardens for the Variety of its very 

 double Flowers ; but is not fo good 

 for medicinal Ufes as the common, 

 tho' at prefent it is more generally 

 ufed. 



There is alfo another Variety of 

 this Plant, which is fometimes found 

 wild amongft the common, that hath 

 naked Flowers, being intirely de- 

 fcitute of Petals, or Flower-leaves. 



Thefe three Sorts are eafily pro- 

 pagated, in a Garden, by parting 

 their Roots, and planting them about 

 eight ' or ten Inches diftant every 

 Way ; for they are great Spreaders, 

 efpecially when planted in a good 

 Soil. The belt Seafon for this Work 

 is in March : they all thrive beft in 

 a poor Soil. 



The third, fourth, and fifth Sorts 

 are common Plants in mod Parts of 

 England-, and are rarely preferved 

 in Garden?, unlefs it / be in public 

 Botanic Gardens, to increafe the' 

 Number of Varieties. 



The other Sorts, tho' Strangers in 

 our Climate, yet will do very well, 

 if fovvn in the Spring of the Year in 

 an open Bed of frefh Earth, except 

 the tenth and elevenih Sorts, which 

 are fomewhat tenderer, and mould 

 be firit rais'd in a moderate Hot-bed, 

 and may afterwards be transplanted 

 abroad, where they will flower, 

 and ripen their Seeds very well :
