The firft Sort here mentioned 

 grows wild in great Plenty inWoods, 

 ;md other fhady Places, in divers 

 Parts of England, and is rarely cul- 

 tivated in Gardens : but this being 

 the Sort which the College of Phy- 

 ficians have directed for medicinal 

 Ufe, under the Title of Scrophularia 



s c 



major, it is by fome preferved in 

 their Phyfic-gardcns. 



The fecond Sort is alfo very com- 

 mon inmoiitPhces, and by theSides 

 of Ditches almoft every-where : this 

 is alfo an officinal Plant, and ftands 

 in the Catalogue of Simples, under 

 the Title of Betonica aquatica, i. e. 

 Water-betony, becaufe the Leaves 

 are fomewhat like thofe of Be- 

 tony. 



Thefe two Plants may be eafily 

 propagated in Gardens, by fowing 

 their Seeds early in the Spring upon 

 a Bed of frefh Earth, in a fhady Si- 

 tuation ; and when the Plants are 

 come up, they mould be tranfplant- 

 ed out into a ftrong moift Soil,about 

 two Feet afunder, obferving to water 

 them until they have taken Root ; 

 after which they will require no far- 

 ther Care, but to hoe down the 

 Weeds between them, from time to 

 time, as they are produced. The 

 fecond Year thefe Plants will moot 

 up to flower ; and if their Stems are 

 fuffered to remain, they will pro- 

 duce Seed: but the Herb is general- 

 ly cut for Ufe, juft as the Flowers 

 begin to open ; for if it Hands long- 

 er, the Leaves change, and the whole 

 Plant contains much lefs Juice. 

 Thefe Roots will abide many Years 

 without renewing : but it will be 

 proper to tranlplant them every 

 other Year, otherwife their Roots 

 will fpread over each other, and 

 thereby deftroy themfelves. 



The third and fourth Sorts are 

 very beautiful Plants, being worthy 

 of aPlacc in every goodGarden: thefe. 

 are fomewhat tenderer than the for- 

 mer Sorts ; tho' they will endure 

 the Cold of our ordinary Winters, 

 if planted in a light Soil, and a 

 warm Situation. Thefe may be 

 propagated by fowing their Seeds in 

 the Spring, upon a Bed df frefh
