caufe at fuch times the Plant will 

 Toon take Root : but if the Seafon 

 fhould prove hot and dry, they mull 

 be diligently watered until they have 

 taken Root ; after which they will 

 require no farther Care, but to keep 

 them clear from Weeds ; and in July 

 they will flower ; at which time they 

 will be fit to cut for medicinal Ufe : 

 but thofe Plants which are left uncut 

 will produce ripe Seeds in September, 

 provided the Autumn be favourable. 



The Winter-favory is an abiding 

 Phnt, and may be propagated by 

 Slips or Cuttings ; which, if plant- 

 ed in a Bed of freih light Earth in 

 the Spring, and carefully watered, 

 will take Root in a lhort time, and 

 may then be tranfplanted where they 

 are to remain. There feem to be 

 two Species of this, Offering in their 

 manner of Growth, and alfo in the 

 Size of their Flowers. This Plant 

 fhould have a dry Soil, in which it 

 will endure the Cold very well, as 

 may be feen by its growing in fome 

 Places upon the Tops of Walls, 

 where it defies the fevereft Cold of 

 our Climate. 



Thefe Plants were antiently more 

 cultivated in England than at pre- 

 fect, they being very little in Ufe to 

 what they were formerly, when they 

 enter'd moft Dilhes of Soups, &c. 

 but at prefent they are very little 

 ufed in the Kitchen, being chiefly 

 cultivated for medicinal Ule.
