The five Sorts firft - mentioned 

 grow wild in Spain, Portugal, and 

 the South of France, where they ge- 

 nerally are found near the Sea, on 

 the Sides of Banks; but the fixth 

 Sort was difcovered by Dr. Tourm- 

 fort in the Levant. They are all 

 (except the fecond and fourth Sorti) 

 low Plants, which trail on the 

 Ground, in the fame manner as our 

 common Knot-grafs ; but continue 

 &veral Years. 



Thefe Plants are preferved by 

 thofe who are curious in Botany, for 

 the fake of Variety ; but are feldom 

 admitted into other Gardens; though 

 *he rirft Sort may have room in eve- 

 ry good Garden, for the fine x^p- 

 pearance it makes in Autumn, when 

 the filvery fcaly Heads, which are 

 produced at every Joint of the 

 Branches, make a goodly Shew. 



They may all be propagated by 

 Cowing their Seeds on a Bed of light 

 frefh Earth, in an open Situation, 

 about the Middle or Latter- end of 



March ; and when the Plants come 

 up, they Ihould be carefully weed- 

 ed ; and if the Seafon ihould prove 

 dry, they mult be now-and-then wa- 

 tered. When the Plants are large 

 enough to tranfplant, they mould 

 be carefully taken up, and fome of 

 them planted in Pots, and the others 

 on a warm Border, where they may 

 be fheltered in Winter ; otherwiie 

 they will not live in this Country. 

 Thofe which are planted in Pots, 

 mould be placed under an Hot-bed- 

 frame, where they may be fcreened 

 from hard Frofl: ; but fhould have 

 as much free Air as poflible in mild 

 Weather. With this Management 

 the Plants may be preferved many 

 Years, and will flower every Seafon; 

 but they rarely produce any Seeds ia 

 this Country.
