now-and-then a little Water, until 

 they have taken frefh Roots ; after 

 which time they will require no far- 

 ther Care, than to train them upright 

 in the manner you would have them 

 grow : but thofe Plants which were 

 at firft planted into a Border in the 

 open Ground, mould be arched over, 

 and covered with Mats in frofty 

 Weather, during the firfr Winter ; 

 but may be tranfplanted abroad the 

 fucceeding Spring. In removing 

 of thefe Plants, you mould be careful 

 to preferve as much Earth about the 

 Roots as you can ; and if the Seafon 

 fhould prove hot and dry, you muft 

 water and made them, until they 

 have taken frefh Root ; after which 

 they will require no other Culture 

 than was before directed. 



Thefe Plants may be alfo pro- 

 pagated by planting Cuttings of 

 them upon a gentle warm Bed in 

 May or June, keeping them fhadrd 

 with Mats, and frequently refrefhed 

 with Water, until they have takan 

 Root, which will be in about two 

 Months time ; when you may tranf- 

 plant them into Pots filled with good 

 frefh Pght Earth, which mould be 

 fet in a fhady Place until they have 

 taken Root, and then may be ex- 

 pofed to the open Sun until Oclober, 

 when you mould remove them into 

 Shelter the firft Winter; but the 

 fucceeding Spring you m^y plant 

 them abroad, as was before directed 

 for the Seedling- plants. 



The feventh Sort is by much*The 

 molt beautiful of all thefe Citlus's : 

 the Flower? , which are as big as an 

 handfome Rofe, arc of a fine White, 

 with a deep-purple Spot on the Bot- 

 tom of each Leaf. This Plant alfo 

 abounds with a fweet glutinous Li- 

 quor, which exudes thro' the Pores 

 of the Leaves in fo plentiful a man- 

 ner, in hot Weather, that the Sur- 

 faces of the Leaves are covered there-

with. From this Plant CfufitJ thinks 

 might be gathered great Quantities 

 of the Ladanum, which is ufed in 

 Medicine, in the Woods in Spain, 

 where he faw vaft Quantities of this 

 Shrub growing. 



Neither this Sort, nor the fixth, 

 often perfect their Seeds in England; 

 fo muft be propagated by Cuttings, 

 unlefs their Seeds are procured from 

 Spain and Portugal, where they 

 abound j and from whence great 

 Quantities of Seeds have been lately 

 fent to England. 



All the other Sorts produce Plenty 

 of Seeds, fo that there will be noNe* 

 cefTity for propagating thofe by Cut- 

 tings ; becaufe thofe Plants which 

 come from Seeds, will be much bet- 

 ter: thefe all grow wild in the South 

 of France, in Portugal, Spain, and 

 other warm Countries. 



But it is from the eleventh Sort, 

 that Monfieur Tournefort fays the 

 G>eeks in the Archipelago, gather 

 this fweet Gum : in the doing of 

 which, B llcnius fays, they make ufe 

 of an Tnlb ument like a Rake, with- 

 out Teeth, which they call Ergajlri: 

 to this are tied many Thongs of raw 

 and untanned Leather, which they 

 rub gently upon the Bufhes, that 

 produce the Ladanum, that fo that 

 liquid Moifrure may ftick upon the 

 Thong; : afcer which they fcrape it 

 off with Knives : this is done in the 

 hotteft time of the Day ; for which, 

 P.eafon, the Labour of gathering 

 this Ladanum is exceftive, and almoft 

 intolerable, fince they are obliged 

 to remain on the Mountains for 

 who'e Days together, in the very 

 Heat of Summer, or the Dog-days: 

 nor is there any Perfon almoft that 

 will undertake this Labour, except 

 the Greek Monks. 



Monfieur Toumefort alfo relates 

 the fame in his Travels ; where he 

 fays, That the Shrubs which pro-.
