fer from the common Bramble in the 

 Colour of the Fruit, but alfo in that 

 of the Bark and Leaves, which, in 

 this Sort, are of a lively Green; 

 whereas thofe of the common Sort 

 are of a dark-brown Colour. The 

 fourth Sort is a variety of the com- 

 mon Bramble, differing therefrom 

 only in having firiped Leaves, for 

 which it is preferv'd by fome Per- 

 sons who are curious in collecting 

 variegated Plants. 



The thirteenth Sort is in all re- 

 fpects like the commonBramble, ex- 

 cepting in this Particular, that there 

 are no Thorns on the Branches or 

 Leaves of this Sort. 



The fourteenth Sort differs from 

 the common Bramble in having the 

 Leaves and Flowers curioufly jag- 

 ged. • 



The fifteenth Sort produces large 

 Spikes of Flowers, which are very- 

 large and double, fo that they make 

 a fine Appearance, being almod as 

 large and double as Rofes. This 

 merits a Place in every good Gar- 

 den ; becaufe it may be planted in 

 any abject Part of the Garden, under 

 Trees in Wilderrefs quarters ; where 

 it will thrive and flower as well as 

 v. hen planted in a more open Situa- 

 tion. 



The fifteenth Sort is not very 

 com men in England, but is a Native 

 of Poland. This produces mnch 

 Lirger Fruit than the commonBram- 

 ble ; fo is preferv'd in the Gardens 

 of fome curious Perfons for the fake 

 of Variety, 



The Rafpberry-buih is alfo very 

 common in divers Woods in the 

 Northern Counties of England ; but 

 v cultivated in all curious Gardens 

 for ti e fake of its Fruit. Of this 

 there are three Kinds, which arecul- 

 fivated commonly in Gardens near 

 London ; which are the common red, 

 late- re.', and the white Sort? 3 but 



the Sort without Thorns is Iefs com- 

 mon at prefent than the other. 



The ninth, tenth, eleventh, and 

 twelfth Sorts are preferv'd as Curiofi- 

 ties in feveral Gardens near London ; 

 as their Fruits are of no Value, they 

 are fcarcely worth cultivating, ex- 

 cept in Botanic Gardens for Va- 

 riety. 



All the Sorts of Bramble are eafily 

 propagated by laying down of their 

 Shoots, which in one Year will be 

 fufficiently rooted to tranfplant ; fo 

 may then be cut off from the old 

 Plants, and planted where they are 

 defign'd to remain ; which fhould 

 be in Wildernefs-quarter?, or other 

 abjeel Parts of the Garden, where 

 they may have room to fpread,with- 

 out incommoding other Plants. 



The Rafpberry is always cultiva- 

 ted in Gardens, for the fake of the 

 Fruit. There is a Variety of this 

 Plant, which produces two Crops 

 of Fruit every Year ; one in the 

 ufual Seafon in July, and the fecond 

 Crop in Ofiober ; and when the Au- 

 tumn proves favourable, the fecond 

 Crop will ripen extremely well; and, 

 in fome Year?, have been in as great 

 Plenty as the 6#ft Crop. 



The Rafpberries are always pro- 

 pagated by Suckers, tho' I mould 

 prefer fuch Plants as are ra fed by 

 Layers ; becaufe they will be better 

 rooted, and not fo liable to fend 

 out Suckers as the other ; which ge- 

 nerally produce fuch Quantities of 

 Suckers from their Roots, as ro fill 

 the Ground ; and where they are 

 not carefully taken out, or thinn'd, 

 caufe the Fruit to be frnaJl, and in 

 lefs Quantities ; especially when 

 the Plants are placed near each other, 

 which is too often the Cafe ; for 

 there are few Perfons who allow 

 thefe Plants firnc:ent room. 



In preparing thefe Plants, the'r 

 Fibres (Lou id be fr.ortened ; but the 



Buds,
