The firft Sort is very common in 

 England being often planted upon 

 the Tops of Houfcs, and other 

 Buildings ;• where, being prefe rvM 

 dry, it will endure the greateft Cold 

 of our Climate. This is directed by 

 the College of Phyflcians to be ufed 

 ia Medicine, as a great Cooler. It 



S E 



may be propagated by planting the 

 Off-fets ( which are produced in 

 great Plenty from the old Plants) 

 any time in Summer. It requires 

 to be placed very dry ; for if its 

 Roots are moift, the Plants will rot 

 in cold Weather. 



The fecond, third, fourth, fixth, 

 and feventh Sorts grow in plenty 

 upon Walls and Buildings in divers 

 Parts of England, where they pro- 

 pagate themfelves by their trailing 

 Branches, fo as, in a fliort time, to 

 cover the whole Place, provided 

 they are not cut off. The fixth Sort 

 is alfo prefcribed by the College of 

 Phyficians, to enter fome officinal 

 Compofitions ; but the People who 

 fupply the Markets, commonly fell 

 the Wall -pepper inflead of this : 

 which is a very wrong Practice ; be- 

 caufe the fixth Sort is a very cold 

 Herb, and is accordingly directed 

 to be put into cooling Ointments : 

 and the Wall- pepper is an exceed- 

 ing fliarp acrid Plant (from whence 

 it received the Name of Wall-pep- 

 per), which renders it contrary to 

 the Intention of the Phyfician : 

 therefore whoever makes ufe of 

 thefe Plants, fhould be very careful 

 to have the right ; otherwifeit is bet- 

 ter to ufe the common great Sort, in 

 which they are not fo liable to be 

 impos'd on. 



The fifth Sort is a Native of St, 

 Vincenis Rock in Cornwall, from 

 whence it hath been taken, and dif- 

 tributed into the feveral Gardens of 

 fuch Perfons as are curious in pre- 

 ferving a Variety of Plants. 



Thefe Plants are all extreme har- 

 dy, and will thrive exceedingly, if 

 planted in a dry Soil, and an open 

 Situation, where they will propa- 

 gate themfelves by their trailing 

 Branches, which take Root where- 

 ever shey touch :i;e Ground.
