 dicinal Plant, may be propagated in 

 Gardens for Ufe : it may be in- 

 creased by parting of the Roots, any

The firft of thefe Plants is culti- 

 vated in Gardens for medicinal Uie; 

 as is the third, for furnifhing Balco- 

 nies, and other little Places in and 

 near the City, by way of Ornament; 

 but die other Sorts are rarely to be 

 found, but in the Gardens of thofe 

 who are curious in Botanical Studies. 



Molt of thefe Plants may be culti- 

 vated fo as to become Ornaments to 

 a Garden, particularly in fmall Bof- 

 quets of ever-green Shrubs; where, 

 if thefe are artfully intermix'd with 

 other Plants of the fame Growth, and 

 placed in the front Line, they will 

 make an agreeable Variety ; efpe- 

 cially if care be taken to trim them 

 twice in a Summer, to keep them 

 within Eounds; otherwife their 

 Branches are apt to ftraggle, and, 

 in wet Weather, to be borne down, 

 and difplaced, which renders them 

 unfightly ; but when they are kept 

 in Order, their hoary and different- 

 colour'd Leaves will have a pretty 

 Effect in fuch Plantations. 



Thefe Plants may be propagated 

 by planting Slips or Cuttings of anv 

 of the Kinds during the Spring, which 

 mould be put into a Border of frefh 

 light Earth, and water'd and fhaded
