The firft Sort here mentioned 

 grows wild in divers Parts of Eng- 

 land, upon arable Land; as doth the 

 fecond in Woods, and fhady Places, 

 almoft every-where. The firft of 

 thefe is what the College of Phyfi- 

 cians have directed to be ufed, under 

 theTide of Scabious; tho 1 the Peo- 

 ple who fupply the Markets gene- 

 rally bring the fecond Sort inftead 

 thereof ; but it may be eafily known 

 therefrom by its hairy divided 

 Leaves. The fecond Sort the Col- 

 lege have directed to be ufed un- 

 der the Title of Devils-bit ; which 

 Name it received from the lower 

 Part of its Root being commonly- 

 eaten off. 



Both thefe Plants are very com- 

 mon in the Fields and Woods; but 

 may be propagated in Gardens, by 

 fowing their Seeds in the Spring up- 

 on a Bed of frefh Earth ; and when 

 the Plants are come up, they muft 

 be tranfplanted into other Beds of 

 frefh Earth, at about eight or ten 

 Inches Diftance ; obferving to wa- 

 ter them until they have taken Root; 

 after which time they will require 

 no farther Culture, but to keep 

 them clear from Weeds ; and the 

 fecond Summer they will flower, and 

 produce Seeds : but their Roots will 

 abide many Years, and may be part- 

 ed to propagate the Species. 



The third Sort will grow to the 

 Height of four or five Feet, and 

 have a woody Trunk : this is pre- 

 ferved in Green hoiifes in Winter, 

 by fuch as are curious in foreign 



Plants.
