of CX-fets, which mould have a 

 Bud upon their Crowns; but it mat- 

 ters not how fhort they are : there- 

 fore the Upper-part of the Roots 

 which are taken up for Ufe, mould 

 be cut off about two Inches long 

 with the Bud to it, which is efteemed 

 the beA for planting. Then make 

 a Trench ten Inches deep, in which 

 you mould place the Off-lets at about 

 four or five Inches Diliance each 

 Way, with the Bud upward, cover- 

 ing them up with the Mould that 

 was taken out of the Trench : then 

 proceed to a fecor.d Trench in like 

 manner, and continue the lame until 

 the whole Spot of Ground is planted. 

 After this, level the Surface of the 

 Ground even, obferving to keep it 

 clear from Weeds, until the Plants 

 are fo far advanced, as to be ftrong 

 enough to overbear and keep them 

 down. With this Management, the 

 Roots of the Horfe radifh will be 

 long and ftrait, and free from fmall 

 lateral Roots ; and the fecond Year 

 after planting will be fit for Ufe. 

 'Tis true, they may be taken up 

 the firit Year ; but then the Roots 

 will be but {lender; therefore it is 

 the better way to let them remain 

 until the fecond Year. The Ground 

 in which this is planted ought to be 

 very rich, otherwife the Roots will 

 make but fmall Progrefs.

COIX, JobVtears. 

 The Char afters are ; 



It hath Male and female Flowers 

 on the fame Plant : the Male Flowers 

 are produced in a loofe Spike, each 

 being inch fed in a two- leaned Hufk, 

 which is prickly : thefe have three 

 Jlendev Stamina, fupporting chlong 

 four - cornered Summits : the Female 

 Flowers are generally produced at the 

 Sot to;;} of the Spike of Male Flowers : 



thefe have a two- leaved prickly Co- 

 vering ; and in the Centre is Jituated 

 the Pointal, which afteward becomes 

 one naked hard Seed. 

 The Species are ; 



1 . Co i x feminibus ovatis. Lin. 

 Hort. Cliff. Common JobVtears. 



2. Co ix latiore folio. Broad-leav'd 

 JobVtears. 



3. Co IX altifjima, culmo ramofo. 

 Tallell Job's- tears, with a branching 

 Stalk. 



Thefe are Sorts of Grain which 

 are cultivated in fome of the hot 

 Countries ; but are rarely eateji, 

 except in great Scarcity of other 

 Corn ; when the poorer Sort of 

 People make a coarfe Sort of Bread 

 with the Flour of this. In Portugal, 

 and fome other Roman Catholic 

 Countries, the firftSort is cultivated 

 for the Seeds ; which they firing, 

 and ufe as Beads : thefe Seeds are 

 oblong, fmooth, hard, and of an 

 Am -colour, fomewhat refembling 

 the Seeds *of Gromwel ; but are fix 

 times larger. 



The firit and fecond Sorts are 

 Natives of the Levant, from whence 

 the Seeds have been brought; but 

 the third Sort grows in the warm 

 Parts of Ajnerica : this will live two 

 Years ; but the other are both an- 

 nual Plants. 



Thefe are feldom propagated in 

 England, the Seafons here being ge- 

 nerally too cold to ripen the Seeds : 

 therefore whoever has an Inclination 

 to have thefe Plants, mult fow the 

 Seeds early in the Spring, upon a 

 gentle Hot-bed ; and in May the 

 Plants mould be tranfplanted into a 

 warm Border : where, if the Seafon 

 proves favourable, they will perfect 

 their Seeds. 



• The third Sort will grow to the. 

 Height of feven or eight Feet ; anci 

 the Stems become hard, like the Reed 

 urlf/dianCon.- thefe branch out, and 

 produce.
