The firft Sort is ufed in Medicine 

 as a vulnerary Herb, but is by many 

 People preferv'd in Gardens ; as are 

 alfo the three other Sorts for the Va- 

 riety of their fpotted Leaves, and 

 pretty Bunches of blue Flowers. 



The firlt, fecond, third, fourth, 

 fifth, fixth, feventh, eighth, and 

 ninth Sorts are abiding Plants, which 

 may be propagated by parting of 

 their Roots. Tne bell time for doing 

 of this is in Autumn, that they may 

 be rooted before the Frolt comes on. 

 They mould have a fhady Situation, 

 and a frem undung'd Soil ; in which 

 they will thrive better than on a 

 rich Soil. 



Thefe Plants may be cultivated 

 by parting of their Roots ; which 

 may be done either in the Spring or 

 Autumn ; but if the Ground be 

 moilt, into which they are planted, 

 it is better to be done in the Spring ; 

 othervvife the Autumn is the molt 

 preferable Seafon, that the Plants 

 may be well rooted before the dry 

 Weather comes on in the Spring, 

 which will caufe them to flower 

 much ftrono;er. 



The Soil in which they are plant- 

 ed mould not be rich ; but rather a 

 frefh light fandy Ground, in which 

 they will thrive much better zhzn 

 in a richer Soil, in which thty 

 are very fubj^dt to rot in Winter. 



The fourth Sort makes the belt Ap- 

 pearance of all the Kinds, and is very- 

 hardy i will grow either in Sun or 

 Shade ; and, taking up little room, 

 is worthy of a Place in every good 

 Garden for the fake of Variety. 



The fixtcenth Sort is a Native of - 

 America, and is found in molt Parts 

 of North America. The Seeds of 

 this Fiant were formerly fent over 

 from Virginia, by Mr. Bttttijher : 

 thefe were fown in the Garden of 

 the Bilhop of London, at FuJbam, and 

 in thofe of fome other curiou? Per- 

 fons, where the Plants were feveral 

 Years preferv'd ; but when the Pof- 

 fefTors of fchofe Gardens died, the 

 Plants being neglected v/erelolt; fo 

 that for feveral Years this Sort was 

 not in England. 



The Leaves of this Plant are 

 fmooth and mtire; the Flowers arc 

 produced in a loofe hanging Panicle, 

 on the Top of the Stalks : thefe have 

 long Tubes, ftretched out beyond 

 theEmpalement; and, being of a fine 

 blue Colour, they make a pretty Ap- 

 pearance. The time of this Plant's 

 flowering in England is in May j and 

 if the Plants are in a fhady Situa- 

 tion, the Flowers will continue a 

 Month in Beauty. 



The Roots of this Plant are peren- 

 nial, b,:ing compofed of many thick 

 flelhy Tubers, fomewhat refembling 

 thofe of Comfrey. The Leaves de- 

 cay every Autumn, and new ones 

 come out early in the Spring. The 

 Flower - ftems ufually grew about 

 one Foot and an half high ; and the 

 Flowers hang down muchfafter the 

 fame manner as thofe of our com-
