Thcfe are all of them perennial 

 Plants, exeept the third and fourth 

 Sorts : thefe two feldom continue 

 longer than two or three Years, fo 

 are propagated by Seeds ; but the 

 others, which are abiding Plant?, are 

 propagated by Cuttings. Thefe 

 Plants grow wild in the South of 

 trance, in Spain, Portugal, and fome 

 in the Levant ; from whence their 

 Seeds have been obtained by thofe 

 Penons who delight in Botanical 

 Studies : fome of thefe Sorts grow 

 upright to the Height of two Feet ;

upon the Ground, and have woody 

 Branches: the chief Beauty of thefe 

 Plants confifts in their hoary Leaves ; 

 for the Flowers are fmall, and have 

 very little Beauty in them ; fo the 

 Plants are feldom preferved in Gar- 

 dens for their Beauty : however, 

 fome of the fhrubby Kinds may be 

 admitted into the Pleafure-garden ; 

 where, if they are planted on a dry 

 lean Soil, they will abide many 

 Years, and add to the Variety. 



Thefe Plants may be difpofed in a 

 Garden, fo as to afford Pieafure, by 

 mixing them with Alarum, Maftich, 

 and feveral other aromatic Plants, 

 upon the Hoping Sides of Banks, 

 which are expofed to the Sun ; or 

 upon little Hillocks raifed in a mel- 

 tered Situation ; where, by the Di- 

 verfity of their hoary Branches, being 

 of various Shapes, they will make a 

 pretty Appearance : and in fuch Pla- 

 ces they will refill the Cold much 

 better than when they are planted 

 in a good Soil ; for it they grow 

 freely in Summer, their Shoots will 

 be replete with Moifture, and the 

 Froft will be much more likely to 

 deftroy thefe than it will thofe whole, 

 Shoots are fhort, dry, and hard r. 

 and this holds thro' moft of the aro- 

 matic Plants ; for Sage, Rofmary, 

 Lavender, &c* which have been 

 growing out of dry Walls, tho' 

 greatly expofed to all Wmds, have 

 refilled the Cold of the fevereft Win- 

 ters, when moll of the Plants which 

 were growing in Gardens were de- 

 ftroy ed. 



They are propagated in England, 

 where they feldom produce Seeds, 

 by Cuttings or Slips, which mould be 

 planted the Beginning of April, j a it 

 before they are about to moot, upon 

 a Border expofed to the Eaft : and 

 if the Seafon proves dry, they mufl 

 be watered and faaded until they 

 have taken Root ; and afterward
