Plants ; fo will grow in any Situa- 

 tion ; but not in Places where they 

 have too much Wet in Winter : they 

 may be all propagated by Seeds, 

 which mould be fovvn the Beginning 

 of April, in a Bed of common Earth ; 

 and when the Plants are come up, 

 i where they are too clofe, they mould 

 be thinned, and kept clean from 

 Weeds till tHe following Qclober, 

 when they may be tranfplanted 

 where they are to remain. 



Moft of thefe Sorts require a large 

 Share of room ; for their Leaves are 

 large, and fpread very wide ; and 

 their Stalks will rife to the Height 

 of four or five Feet, having many 

 Branches, which muft be fupported 

 with Stakes, otherwife the Wind will 

 break them down, and render them 

 unfightly : they may alfo be pro- 

 pagated by parting their Roots in 

 October , which mull be treated as 

 the Seedling-plants. Some of thefe 

 Sorts have been propagated in Phy- 

 tic- Gardens for medicinal Ufe, as 

 they were fuppofed to have Virtue 

 in curing Madnefs ; but they are not 

 fit Ornaments for other Gardens. 



The tenth Sort is a Native of Vir- 

 ginia and Carclir.a, from whence 

 their Seeds have been brought into 

 Europe ; and many of the Plants have 

 been raifed in England, which are 

 preferved by the Curious in Botany ; 

 but there is no great Beauty in the 

 Flowers : the Roots of thefe Plants 

 grow as large as aWalnut ; the Stems 

 rife about two Feet high, and are 

 garnifhed with Flowers almoft their 

 whole Length ; thefe do not perfect 

 their Seeds in this Country.
