Thefs are alfo in great Efleem for 

 Stocks to graft a^id bud Pears on ; 

 which for Summer and Autumn- 

 fruits are a great Improvement to 

 them, efpeciaily thofe defign'd for 

 Walls and Efpaliers : for the Trees 

 upon thefe Stocks do not moot fo 

 vigoroufly as thofe upon Free- flocks, 

 and therefore may be kept in lefs 

 Compafs, and are fooner difpofed 

 to bear Fruit : but Winter-fruits do 

 not fucceed fo well upon thefe Stocks, 

 their Fruit being very fubject to 

 crack, and are commonly ftony, ef- 

 peciaily all the breaking Pears ; 

 therefore thefe Stocks are only pro- 

 per for the melting Pears, and for a 

 nioift Soil. The bell Stocks are 

 thofe which are raifed from Cut- 

 tings, or Seeds.

There are feveral other Varieties 

 of this Plant, which are cultivated 

 in curious Botanic Gardens; but as 

 they are Plants of little Beauty, and 

 the frit Sort only is that whic]i is 

 commonly us'd in Medicine, ;;r.d 

 this growing in great Plenty wild 

 upon Dunghils, and in (hady Lanes 

 in divers Parts of England, they are 

 therefore feldom preferved in Gar- 

 dens. They may be eafily cultivated 

 by any Perfon that is curious that 

 way, by fowing the Seeds early in. 

 the Spring, or in Autumn foon after 

 they are ripe, in almoft any Soil or 

 Situation (except the Candia Sort, 

 which mult have a warm Pofition, 

 and a dry Soil) ; where they will 

 flower and feed in plenty ; and if the 

 Seeds are permitted to fcatter, will 

 abundantly fupply the Place with 

 young Plants. As the Roots are of- 

 ten ufed, fo the proper Season to. 

 take them up is foon after the Leaves 

 decay, before they {hoot again ; 

 which is what mould be obferv'd of 

 all Roots ekher for Meat or Medi- 

 cine ; for then it is that they have 

 the moft Virtue.
