All thefe Sorts are commonly 

 known by the Name of F^ather'd or 

 Spani/h Columbine among the Gar- 

 ! deners ; which Names, I fuppofe, 

 they received frora the Similitude 



that the Leaves of this Plant bear tm 

 thofe of Columbine, tho' their Flow- 

 ers are very different therefrom. 



The fifth Sort here mention'd 

 grows plentifully in moid Meadows, 

 in divers Parts of England. The 

 fixth Sort is found growing wild 

 about Newmarket, and on chalky 

 Grounds in feveral Parts of Eng- 

 land. The feventeenth and eigh- 

 teenth Sorts grow wild on the rocky- 

 Mountains of IV ales ; from whence 

 they have been tranfplanted into 

 fome curious Gardens, where they 

 are prefervcd for the fake of Variety. 



The other Sorts are not Natives of 

 England ; yet being equally hardy 

 with the former, will thrive in the 

 open Air very well. Moft of thefe 

 Plants have creeping Roots, by 

 which they fpread very far, and may 

 be eafily propagated; but they mould 

 not be planted amongft other Plants, 

 becaufe thefe will overbear and de- 

 ftroy them. Thefe Plants mould be 

 planted in a moift Soil, otherwise 

 they will not flower very llrong. The 

 belt time to tranfplant them is about 

 Michaelmas, that they may be well 

 rooted before the dry Weather comes 

 on in the Spring. 



The fifth, fixth, feventh, eighth, 

 thirteenth, and fourteenth Sorts are 

 tall Plants, and may be planted 

 among other Plants of the fame 

 Growth, which delight in a moiit 

 Soil, in fome obfcure Part of the 

 Garden, where better Things will 

 not thrive; in which Places the&g 

 will thrive and flower, and main- 

 tain themfelves without any other 

 Care, but to keep them clear from 

 very large Weeds, which would 

 overbear and deftroy them. 



The other Sorts are of humble 

 Growth, fome of them feldom riling 

 above fix Inches high, and the other* 

 not more than a Foot; but thefe 

 may be planted in fhady Borders
