 or "that rhey are in Flower : but 

 when the Roots are in a State of 

 Keft, they mould have but little 

 Moifture ; for Wet at that time will 

 lot them. They are pretty hardy, 

 and only require to be Ihelter'd

 much free Air as poffible in open 

 Weather.

The common Garden Clary is 

 chiefly cultivated in England for me- 

 dicinal' U(e ; but the other Sorts are 

 preferv'd in Botanic Gardens for the 

 fake of Variety, with many otheT 

 Sorts of lefs Note : however, thole 

 here mention'd are worthy of aPlace 

 in large Gardens, where, if they are 

 intermix^ among other large grow- 

 ing Plants, they will afford a pretty 

 Variety ; efpecially the fifth, eigfcta, 

 ninth, and tenth Sorts, which pro- 

 duce long Spikes of beautiful Flow- 

 ers, and continue a long time in 

 Beauty. 



The Flowers of the fevemth 



Sort are us'd in Holland, to give a 

 Flavour to the khenijh Wines.which 

 are brew'd at Dort. 



All thefe Sorts may be propagated 

 by fowing their Seeds upon a Bed of 

 frefh Earth in March or April ; ard 

 when the Plants are come up, they 

 mould be tranfplanted into Beds of 

 frefhEarth, about eight Inches afuti- 

 der, obferving to water them un- 

 til they have taken Root; after 

 which they will require no farther 

 Care, buc to keep them clear from 

 Weeds until Michaelmas, when they 

 mould be tranfplanted into the 

 Places where they are to remain, 

 placing them at a large Diftance ; 

 for they fpread pretty iar, provided 

 the Soil be good. If thefe Plants 

 are planted for a Crop intended for 

 medicinalUle, they ihould be plant- 

 ed in Rows two Feet and an half 

 aiunder, and the Plants eighteen 

 Inches dittaat in the Rows ; but the
